Tiana Walton allowed 25 of the slimy creatures to cover her eyes, nose and mouth - beating the previous record of 15 held by Australian Liam Kenny.
Before her record breaking attempt, now in the Guinness Book of World Records, Tiana's previous personal best was just nine.
She had just one minute to put the snails on her face and then had to tip her head forward for 10 seconds. Any snails that fell off during that period were not counted.
Tiana said: "I am not squeamish. It is relaxing but it feels a bit cold. They are quite smelly and you can see their big long eyes."
Asked whether she thought her new record would be beaten, she added: "I don't think many people will be bothered about putting snails on their face!"
With Tiana's success, it would seem that record breaking runs in the Walton family.
Her mother Tommy appeared in the Guinness Book of World Record in 1980 for growing the largest lemon in the world, which weighed in at 3lb 14oz. (Ananova.com)
