Olympic Nails! #TeamGB | Scrapbook Nails

The whole world has gone olympic mad, and I'm LOVING it! Having the games in London this year has created such a buzz, the atmosphere is incredible and it makes me so proud to be British.
I went to see the Athletics today & I didn't want to leave the stadium, it was just AMAZING! I can't even put it in words. One of the best days of my life for sure.

I didn't want to have Union Jack nails for this event, so I copied Stella McCartney's design for the GB kit. I loved how my nails turned out, but I can't deny that I found it a bit tricky doing this all freehand!

I used a lot of different polishes for this nail art, so I wont list them all. But... I will do a brief 'how to' using pictures.

Jubilee Union Jack Nails | Scrapbook Nails


Like many Brits this week, I've been sporting Union Jack nails to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.
This is certainly not my neatest ever nail art, but from a distance(!) they looked pretty cool.

I couldn't resist snapping up these OPI polishes, not only are they pretty, sparkly, shimmery, glitters but they're limited edition too- it would have been rude not to! They're from the 'Great Britain, Great Nails' Jubilee Collection.

I'll use this as my practice round before my TeamGB Olympic nail art commences in July!

I used:

Base coat - No7, So Smooth

Blue - OPI, DS Magic (Jubilee Collection)
White -  OPI, Happy Anniversary (Jubilee Collection)
Red -
 OPI, DS Bold (Jubilee Collection)
Top coat - China Glaze, Fast Forward Top Coat
