Me too. And your pre-tidy up nails are better than mine post tidy up!

They're good, Kleio!
I love your cauldron ones, WJ, it's a pretty stamp anyway but it fits perfectly for the Olympics!

It was the only Olympic-themed one I could find. The flaming football would be ok for the world cup, I guess.

I used the flaming football on my medal nails as like you that was the only one I thought was slightly sport related

They are lovely, Hob_Nob. And I'm especially enjoying the staging... bang on theme!

The staging elevates that effort to a potential podium finish! Well done. I like that and might copy it myself now.

You're all so good at this!
I may have been sucked in... behold, the crappest paint job EVER. I need a prize for how bad these are please. I've also ordered glittery polish, and some stickers, just WAIT till you see the mess I make then!

I love the cauldron nails. And Hob's glitter. And Scribbs' painting looks great to me!
I am going to do mine again today.

I have ruined my nails with several attempts per day, so I think I may be out now. I will buy a nail conditioner and see if I can improve things in time for one more go maybe.

I really should have used a base coat. Blue STAINS! (toothpaste got most of it off though).

I walked past a nail bar earlier, and the thought of having my winning entry done there did cross my mind. But then I remembered you have all seen my efforts, so could never be fooled.

Jamaican flag for obv reasons. Bit dodgy as I did it freehand, but I have now caved and ordered the skinny tape.

Oh GOOD work!
I have had navy blue nails and red toes for the whole of the Games. I just can't do this fiddly shizzwack.

I've just noticed that you get a bonus cat in that pic. She turns her head away though, unimpressed. :woteva:
