I started my mani with four white nails (Elianto White, my HG white polish) and one matte black nail (ManGlaze Matte is Murder)....
And after two hours, and lots of tiny strokes of acrylic paint, this was what I managed to whip up!
On my thumb, I decided to do the London Olympics logo. I love how they incorporated the Olympics logo into the word London! Absolute genuis! I meant to write "Olympics" with an S but I ran out of space...oh well.
I also wanted to paint something to represent the UK and since I've already painted the Union Jack twice, here and here, I thought I'd change it up and do either the London Eye or the Big Ben, and then I came across this picture! JACKPOT! They both don't even look like the real thing but after staring at them for a while, I started to think they look rather abstract! Perhaps it's just wishful thinking?
I just HAD to paint the Singapore flag and oh my polished lord, the five stars were crazy to paint. All I can say is I tried!
This next nail shows the silver, gold and bronze medals (from left to right). I had wanted to just paint the bronze medal since Feng Tian Wei just won the bronze medal for table tennis (I did this nail art in advance) but decided against it because three medals are always better than one right? ;)
And for this last nail, I decided to paint the sport Singapore's been best at for quite a while now and that's table tennis! In fact, Feng Tianwei, our national table tennis player just won a Bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics. CONGRATS TIANWEI!!! The matte black background is supposed to represent a table tennis table and the white and green lines are the net, and then of course there's a paddle and a ball.
So there you go, that's my Polish Olympics mani for you! :)

Wow, amazing detail!
ReplyDeleteYou're really nifty with the brush!! Your freehand skills are so precised! And great job with the Singapore flag. The stars, although pretty, are always a put off to attempt, but you've done it!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for 2 Bronzes for Singapore (not sure what the other one's for...I've not been following).
Thank you Wendy! Love your cloud mani! Got to try that one out some time soon! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Lauretta, the Singapore flag...I almost wanted to give up halfway. The two bronzes were both for table tennis! Women's Singles and Team! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw your Singaporean flag in the thumbnails and had to come and check it out! I'm half Singaporean :D Love your details, looks like a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you didn't!
ReplyDeleteWow - what amazing detail! I don't have the patience for that!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel! I was watching Boston Legal while painting my nails so I guess that helped! :)
