I think because of my Olympic fever I had a hard time narrowing down the pictures, so I didn't. To see more of this and my inspiration image, check out more after the jump!
These nails were inspired by this image I found through google search,
From: http://hoogensports.com/london-2012-olympic-countdown-begins-the-full-guide-on-how-to-be-there-with-thanks-to-the-london-times/ |
I really liked the various representations of London 2012 Olympics so I decided to create a version of some of these symbols on my nails.
Using the numbers on the picture for a guideline, my thumb was based on 4, my index on 5, my middle on 1 and my pinky on 7. My ring nail is the Union Jack.
I used Sally Hansen White On for the base of all my nails except my ring finger for the Union Jack which I used Essence Walk on Air. Then for all the detail work I used It's So Easy Stripe Rite Stripers in White, Black, Red, Green and Blue. I used Ardene Chic-kita for the yellow ring on my thumb.
I am still wearing these as I write this! Aaaaand I'm watching the Olympics, what a shocker. I truly do love the games and have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this manicure.
Have you done any Olympic themed nails yet? Are you planning on doing any? What is your favourite sport to watch during the Olympics?!
