Olympic Nails

Hey, guys! So the Olympics started on Friday, and it's time to celebrate that with some Olympic-themed nails. This design is easy, fun, and sure to draw attention. Keep reading to learn how to celebrate your country and the Olympics with pride!

You will need:

- Base coat

- White polish

- blue polish

- yellow polish

- black polish

- green polish

- red polish

- nail striper brush

- gold polish

- top coat

As usual, start of with a base coat. Next, paint your ring fingers and thumbs solid white, and the rest of your fingers with white french tips.

Now, place a small drop of the blue polish on a piece of paper. Dip the tip of the striper brush into it and use it to make a line on the nail, as shown. Do this for all french-tipped nails.

Repeat this with all five colors. Start each color from the same point and spread it out at the end, to get a fan-like look.
This design is meant to represent the colors of the five Olympic Rings.

Yellow: Sally Hansen - Lightening
Black: Sally Hansen - Black Heart
Green: Essie - Mojito Madness
Red: OPI - Cajun Shrimp

Now you'll move to the fully painted nails. Use the blue polish to make a  V-shape on the nail. You can do this with the actual brush or with a toothpick/striper if you feel like it. Then Take the gold polish and make a small semicircle on the tip of the nail, like shown. This is how you'll achieve the look of the Olympic gold medals.
