Olympic Nails Again! Event Pictograms!

Oh how I continue to love the Olympics and Team USA! We are doing so awesome that even spoilers don't bother me anymore because they are mostly good! If you can believe it, they kinda get me excited to watch(don't hate me or tell NBC LOL I'd still rather see them live). I have been itching to redo my nails for a few days now, I suppose that might be why I painted my toes. Since the Olympics are still on and going strong I decided to do another Olympic themed nails. Event Pictograms! I didn't do any research of anyone doing them on their nails already so I'm not sure if this is correct, but judging by the fact that I haven't seen any in the HUGE amount of Olympic themed nails I'm gonna say this is rare. I googled and went on the London 2012 website to look at the pictograms as reference for when I painted them. This Olympics is very colorful in that each venue has a different color and even the official logo is shown in multiple colors. I chose purple as it is my favorite color and it is also the color of the band of the London Olympic medals. And if you can't tell what I did I did Beach Volleyball, Badminton, Swimming, Gymnastics, Athletics(Track and Field), Diving, Football(soccer), Fencing, Basketball, and Cycling.

NYC Color Prince Street

NYC Color Prince Street is a really pretty dark purple with some shimmer. It went on great in two coats which is awesome. My camera hates every shade of purple so the color isn't exactly the same but I tried to get it as close as possible. I used this as a base color in my second London Olympics nails so I took a pic for a swatch before I went any further. Here is also the pic of the stripes from those nails. I think they look kinda cool like this. :)

My Olympic Toes

I finally got around to doing my toes yesterday. I went super simple even though I contemplated doing more, but then I figured they're just toes why go all out? So here are my toes to further route for team USA during the London Olympics. We're kicking some serious butt so far and I'm lovin it!

This angle makes my toes look smaller than they are lol though not by much.

London 2012 Right Hand

I went a little simpler for my right hand of my Olympics nails. Gold, silver, and bronze medals, the US flag(Go Team USA!), and then the flame complete with London 2012 and the Olympic Rings. I was planning on doing nails for each event and the medal that the US won but now that I love the ones I have now I might not lol. Though I still might because I think that would be really fun. :) Hope everyone watches! How fitting are these now because the US already has a gold, silver, & bronze medal?!

It's kinda hard to see because of the flash but I took it myself give me a break lol.

London 2012!!!!!

Words cannot describe how excited I am that it's finally Olympics time! I am so completely obsessed it's not even funny. I'm gonna be glued to my tv the entire time. I love the Olympics so much!!! So naturally, I had to do Olympics nails! I love them! Go team USA! Kick some world butt! lol :D

NYC Color Pier 17 & Tribeca Silver

My dad was going to go shopping yesterday and my mom and I invited ourselves along lol. We stopped in at Walmart so naturally the first place I went was to the nail polish. The Walmart we go to the most hardly ever restocks their polish so I wasn't really expecting much, but being a nail polish addict I still had to look. I found a few that I thought were pretty but I couldn't really justify to myself to buy them all so I narrowed it down to two and saved the others for another time. I also had to pick up more cotton pads for removing my polish so I had a legitimate reason to be near the polish lol.

I chose NYC Color Pier 17 which is a really pretty dark blue shimmer and Tribeca Silver which is, you guessed it, a silver. I haven't used either of them yet but I will probably in the coming days as the London Olympics are tomorrow and since the Olympics are another obsession of mine, I fully intend to go all out on my nails.

New Polish from Rue 21

I went to Rue 21 with a friend and was only going to go along for the ride but as soon as I saw polish that plan went out the window lol. They have crackles and regular polish(mostly neons) and also those polishes with the 3 different colors in one bottle that I still can't figure out lol. They even had a few of those scented polishes that I have yet to try because I'm skeptical of them but maybe one day lol. They were 2 for $5 so naturally I was like I must get a bunch lol. Or as my friend would say "That's a steal!" Not the best thing to shout in a store when you're a teenager LOL but I assure you we paid for everything. I even used a gift card I got at after prom last year so technically I got them for free. And I still have money left on my card($4.51) win!

Anywho, back to the polish. I ended up only buying 4 but I already find myself wishing I got more. Maybe I'll convince my mom to go shopping since we haven't in a while ;). The polishes don't have names which is a bummer but oh well :/. They're still pretty :).
