Nail Polish Addicts Anonymous

Oh you need to post on here too! I'm not in the FB group, so wouldn't see all the nail Pr0n if you didn't post it on here also

The Olympic fever that's caught down on the Olympic sites, where they've all had Union Jacks (TGB) and Stars and Strips (TUSA). Does anyone know if they're wraps, or actual nail art painted on, because they look awesome.
Some of them are painted, but some just look pristine, which got me wondering if it's painted, or wrapped/sticker. I'd love to be able to do a crisp Union Flag. In fact after seeing all your fab efforts over the last couple of days, I'll spend today having a go. Really given me the confidence to have a shot!

(it's not still treason to deface the Union Jack any more,,, Right?? )

I really want mine like these! So lovely!

Ahhh thank you!

I'm not sure these will stay long however as the white has started to chip already and I HATE have nail varnish on with chips!!

Lifeforms - I agree, the nails look almost too perfect to be painted but I'd love to see yours

Haven't worked out how to post pics yet, not much to show yet anyway! Will have a stab at it later when I can see things on the lappy rather than phone

I managed to get a sally Hansen Colour Quick Silver Chrome nail pen in poundland today, looks quite good , I'm thinking it might be good for doing my toes which I haven't done since I broke 1 as it will be fiddly.

Just took my Olympic nails off in time for Team GB to take the gold in the Equestrian (show jumping) team final So happy. Now, what should I do to my nails? I might try a sponge gradient tomorrow - any tips?

Black & White nails. OPI Black Spotted over CG White on White. The Black Spotted is hard to use!! If it's too thick then it doesnt bubble and cracks instead.

Sophy Robson and her team have done pretty much all of them - free hand.
