Olympic nails

[Livilla]

I thought you might like this - Beth Tweddle posted this picture on twitter. The Team GB womens gymnasts have all painted their nails in support of the team in the individual apparatus finals on Monday

They got the idea from us, obviously ;)

I love the Lion.

I still can't paint my nails due to none being there (I just had to file the tiny bit of growth right down again due to peeling) but my toenails are gold, silver and bronze. I can't enter my toes though.

I'm sorry Bean, but you can't. It would be instant disqualification.

[Turtle Bean]

And probably a year's suspension.

[Kleio]

Only a year?

Having your nails cut down to the quick is no reason not to paint them, ladies. Where's your olympic spirit?

[Kleio]

Following my shit gellish 4 of my nails have snapped. I'm removing the leftovers tonight hopefully and will have to cut them all down

I will still do an Olympic manicure just not what I was planning. Originally I wanted to do white nails with Olympic coloured tips but they're too short. I'm not sure what to do now.

That's a good idea about tip colours, Kleio.

Live for me and do it Shoebles.

I'm having a nightmare!I've been trying to do a red white and blue gradient but I am just failing every time. God!

When I have thought of a way to claim my current look is somehow Olympic, I'll be back ;)

Live for me and do it Shoebles.

When I get the current 3 billion layers of glitter off, I might give it a go.

I have tried an Olympic ring gradient using blue black red yellow and green.

It is terrible

[Pippedydeadeye]

Sorry Dizz, I don't think you'll be winning with that one.

[dizzyd]

I know it seemed good in theory I honestly think I am going to have to take it off and re do something else.

Surely it is the entering and taking part which counts ;)

I'm awarding marks for application too, you know.

That's... interesting, dizz.

Your technique looks good, I think maybe it's the colours / order of the colours that's the issue.
