Eyes on the Prize.

Last week we were wow’d by olympic nail art. This week a Brazilian gymnast takes her patriotism to an original new level. Daniele Hypolito rocks some seriously awesome eye shadow in the colors of her flag while competing in the qualifying rounds.

Let the Games Begin!

The Olympics are not only about sport, the games are also about fashion and style. This year when the athletes are not going for gold they can get “Shellac’d” in the Olympic Village.

In both the Olympic and Paralympic Villages athletes will have the opportunity to get  CND Shellac manicures and pedicures. The polish will last for the entire games – from the opening ceremony until the last athlete has crossed the finish line.

“We are thrilled athletes from around the world will be treated to a CND Shellac service during the Olympics and wish them the very best in their remarkable journey,” says CND co-founder and style director Jan Arnold. “We look forward to seeing all the Olympic inspired nails which will be uploaded onto the CND Facebook and Sweet Squared Facebook fan pages, and thank Sweet Squared for its continued support and enthusiasm for the CND brand.”

There is some pretty amazing medal worthy nail art available to these elite athletes. If you want to get into the spirit of the games at home – take these pics to your local nail salon and give these styles a try.
