London 2012 Olympic Nail Art Inspirations

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday August 2, 2012

The Olympics are in full swing and we want to know if you chicks are in the sporty spirit?

I'll admit that I'm not the most athletic person, but when the Olympics come around, it puts me in quite the festive mood! It seems I'm not the only one. Whether it's Olympic inspired makeup or fashion, everyone seems to have a case of Olympic fever.

Just check out how these athletes show some pride:

With that in mind, we scoured the web looking for some top contenders in the Olympic nail art category. Which one of these nail art looks would you gladly show off?

I do quite like the simple stripes as seen on the German athletes (black/gold/red) which strike me as being the most wearable. The tennis/basketball/swimming designs are very cute, though I know for sure I'd never have a steady enough hand to do it. Did anyone see DeeDee Trotter's (female American sprinter) face paint? That was kind of different. At first I couldn't tell what was on her face. http://www.style.com/beauty/beautycounter/2012/08/face-paint-is-on-the-fast-track-with-olympian-deedee-trotter/
