Olympic Inspired Nail Art

I have been obsessed with the Olympics my entire life, and these London Games are no exception.  I love watching the Opening Ceremonies and seeing how the Host City introduces itself to the world.  London definitely brought it this time around.  One of the highlights for me was team Great Britain's parade of nations uniforms.  I though it was quite cheeky to have gold accents on the uniforms, as if to say "This is what we expect of ourselves, get ready to compete".

Anyway, these uniforms inspired me to do an Olympic manicure.  I started out painting al my nails white.  After they dried, I stuck small strips of tape (1/8 inch wide) across them to create stripes.  Then I painted my nails again, alternating silver and gold.  When you peel off the tape, you are left with super fun stripes worthy of the medal stand.

Happy painting! 

P.S. Was I the only one waiting to hear "And may the odds be ever in your favor" during the Opening Ceremonies?
