NOTD: Team GB Olympic Nails

With the 2012 Olympics being held in my lovely home country of Great Britain, there's been a lot of new things: an overwhelming influx of excited tourists, people on trains packed body to body, and a new but very patriotic atmosphere taking over the country. With all of this, there has also been a very notable increase in the amount of Olympics nail art posts I've been reading in the blogging world! My favourite by far (and my inspiration for today's post) is that of The Nailasaurus, and her Olympic Nails

Here is my addition to the Olympic nail posts!



I decided to feature the gold, silver and bronze colours for the medals, the Union Jack flag, and the colours of the Olympic rings. Although I wanted to, there was absolutely no way I could have painted the current 2012 Olympic symbol onto my nails, I have no pen fine enough, and no hand steady enough!


So what's everyone's verdict on these nails? Are you sporting similar ones? Or maybe you've changed it up to support your country? I'd love to see them all so leave your links in the comments!

    1. Thank you! I could have never pulled off doing the rings properly so thought I'd admit defeat and not embarrass myself with my unsteady hand! Lol
