Hey dolls! The theme for this month's
Polish Days is the Olympics. I'm a huge fan of the games. I've been watching it all from the very beginning. My favorites are track, gymnastics, swimming, basketball, and volleyball. I had so many different nail art ideas in mind when I first heard of the theme. I tried them all on nail wheels, but none of my ideas were speaking to me or turning out the way I envisioned. I decided to go with something simple and tried and true for me - dots. My inspiration was the three medal colors: gold, silver, and bronze. For the base, I used Orly Au Champagne. The dots were Zoya Goldie, OPI Your Royal Shine-ness, and Diamond Cosmetics Decadence. My index finger got horribly smudged as I was taking pictures, so they didn't make the cut. :)
Au Champagne is just the most gorgeous white ever! I love the way the dots turned out and how the design is not super literal. I'm looking forward to seeing what all of the other ladies came up with for this theme.
What's your favorite Olympic game?

This is so gorgeous! Orly Au Champage is definitely the most awesome white ever, I totally agree with you! Love how you did the medal colors in dots =)
This is really beautiful!! And I'm with you, Au Champagne is the best! I definitely need a backup of that one.
Lovely x
Adorable! Au Champagne is so, so pretty!
Very beautiful!
Oooooh. Aaaaah! Like this! **searches for dotting tools**
This looks absolutely fab! I so like Orly Au Champagne. It's got a great formula and quite different than a stark white base - really a great choice for a lot of nail art IMO! I need to re-do my toes now...maybe I will try a version of this!
Forgot to add, my fav summer Olympic event is gymnastics followed by all of swimming. Track & field events can be really great. And what a wonderful venue London has set up for both the white water racing area and the beach volleyball!
That's exactly what I love about Au Champagne! I haven't seen any white water racing. I'll have to look up some videos.
Lol! Thanks doll! Go ahead and use those swagbucks.
Thanks doll! It's officially my favorite white. I'm loving that it's time for track & field, but I hate that it comes on so late at night.
Go on and get that back up!
Thanks doll! I took the simple route, but I love it.
What a great and classy manicure! And I didn't know Au Champagne is such a pretty white polish, love it!
Today (August 08, 2012, Wednesday) Google is featuring “Basketball” by showing the Doodle “London 2012 Basketball“. It’s an interesting animated doodle
really nice!
So beautiful, looks even great for office...I love this <3
This is beautiful! Not just for the Olympics but for everyday wear. Great idea and very good work!
This is very pretty! I love it that it represents the olympics in a subtle way...
