Nail Art at The Olympics

There’s a lot more to take in at the 2012 Olympics being held in London, than just the cut-throat competition. It’s the Nails! Fashion conscious sports women are sporting trendy nails with designs either inspired by the Olympics or their nationality.

As the camera focused on the detailed swimming strokes, the dedicated archery poses and tennis shots, the pretty nails zoomed to attention. The best nails spotted are those with the designs of Olympic Rings and the National Flags. Take a look:
