The freehand flag is great.

I'm going to do a proper olympic ring colours one this weekend, to bow out with.

Is this going in to the Paralympics too?

I need those heart shaped flag decals, can you link us up again, George? Excellent nail work.

Is there anywhere in real life I can buy stickers or tape and that? My nails might just grow enough to make a last ditch entry on Sunday.

There is nowhere real life near me.

These are the heart decals Shoe:

I was in Claire's again yesterday and they had loads of stickers and stuff.
They even sell stamping plates which I will be taking a closer look at tomorrow

I might pop into Claire's at lunchtime.

Please do Skips. I need someone that I can live through.
I could easily buy everything in there and Accessorize.

I went in Claire's on Sunday and felt like someone's mum.

I have to stay out of Claire's these days because I struggle to remember that I am 34 when inside.

Perhaps I could become a very old emo?! :think:

I wouldn't go in on a weekend day and only went in because it was quiet. Otherwise I feel the same ~ even though I am someone's mum

Cheers George!

Bean you can get it in nail art kits, so Sally's or some larger Superdrugs maybe but it will be more expensive as it's part of a kit.

That's a stunning effort, George. You've shown true Olympic spirit.

Final effort unless the closing ceremony inspires me

I like, Dizzy.

That's really nice, Dizzy. High marks for originality too.

Thank you all

thank goodness my lympic nails wont be remembered for the spectacular failed gradient

I like that Jewel Britannia.

I have Barry M's gold paint on order and I thought it would arrive today, so I only painted four nails on each hand.

I'll slap some Rainbow Connection on to take a photo, but my nails are not as good as I would wish. I did them better last week but never took a photo, like an idiot. (Scribble can verify I had Olympic nails, and that they were rubbish).

Shall we continue through the Paralympics? What is the Paralympic flag?

ETA Inspired by Povvo's blog, I also ordered striping tape, and have been trying out marbling.

Paralympic flag:

which should lend itself to nails.
