Let's kick this off with a literal nail look worn by an actual Olympic gold medalist, Allison Schmitt. To get her Team USA manicure, paint each nail with a glitter base and use a thin brush to paint the details.

For this star-spangled design, give
yourself a classic French tip manicure. Once dry, apply a clear coat and
while it's still tacky apply white star decals to the ends. Let dry and
seal with a clear topcoat.

Dedicate your look to the official
Olympic flag. Paint your base with three thin coats of white. When
painting the rings, stay patient and let each circle dry before starting
the next. Finish with a topcoat.

No matter the team you're rooting for, use this three-color design to rep your country. First paint your base color. Once dry tape off a section in the center where the two stripes will be. Paint one stripe—done here in white—but stop halfway up and remove the paint from your brush until dry. Swipe through the still-wet color to give yourself a grainy gradient. Repeat with your third color and finish with a clear topcoat.

This detailed nail look belongs to future Mrs. Phelps, Nicole Michele Johnson (if the giant rock was any indication).

This look doesn't represent any one nation, but use the randomized graphic design to incorporate the colors of your team.
