Re: Olympic nails
I like that idea too.
We might fancy doing nails themed to a particular event or something as well as the opening.

Re: Olympic nails
I like that idea a lot, I was a bit worried about poor Pip having to judge from her hospital bed!

Re: Olympic nails
I have not got a clue what to do as I generally just copy other people see my dotty nails I copied off George so I might have to wait to see what people do and see if I get inspired as I havent got a creative bone in my body

Re: Olympic nails
I shall save doing mine until I actually go to the Olympics. So I have a little while to decide what to do.

Re: Olympic nails
I quite like this, it's very simple but quite effective:

Re: Olympic nails
That's one I looked at, but I'm not sure about the white nails. I might go for pale pink or something.

Re: Olympic nails
Nude or pink nails would work, or any colour that was quite plain, I think.
Re: Olympic nails
I may struggle with this - white nails give me the horrors. It looks like Tippex. Perhaps silver or gold could be used.

Re: Olympic nails
That is nice, Shoe. And good glitter, Pepper!
I have tried a gradient effect with the ring colours, which didn't look great, and the medal colours, which was ok. I also tried and very badly failed at marbling.

If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Re: Olympic nails
Gold and yellow would worry me, but silver might work

Re: Olympic nails
I really like that one but there's no way I could do the lines neatly enough.

Re: Olympic nails
There's a tutorial on YouTube but even without watching it I would hazard a guess that there was liberal use of those wee circles that you put on punched A4 paper to stop it ripping out of a folder.
ETA: They haven't, I probably would though, for ease.

Re: Olympic nails
I'm not ready to start yet, I've literally 20 minutes ago done my nails in a blue magnetic! And now I want to take it off and do my Olympic nails instead. Doh!

Re: Olympic nails
I tried that Olympic manicure a couple of weeks ago and can confirm that it is impossible for a mere mortal to do the circles nearly enough. Vodders could probably do it though.
I am experimenting with white nails and dots. So far, I can confirm that yes, it does look like I've put tippex all over my fingers.

Re: Olympic nails
Ok here is a hastily done first effort. There are 47 layers of glitter to achieve anything like the desired coverage.

Like.
Want.
I'm going to see some bands at the Olympic Park, hopefully. I would like to do spangley nails.
