WTF Nail Art for the 2012 Olympic Games

By Ellen Scott

The Olympics might not be the most obvious fashion inspiration for every day – sparkly leotards and swimming caps aren’t exactly appropriate workwear – but look a little closer and you’ll see that some Olympians are seriously sporting the trends. We love how team members are rocking their nation’s colors right down to their nails; not only does it show great team pride, it also allows for some femininity in a very physically demanding setting. Here at CollegeCandy, we’re totally hooked on checking out the nail art at this year’s Olympics, from Rebecca Adlington’s union jack printed talons to Venus William’s chic accent nail. We can’t wait to try out the trend ourselves, but if you need a little more Olympic themed inspiration, check out our gallery below of the coolest designs!
