Olympic Nails...Men's Hockey Takes Gold!

These were the nails I did last night in anticipation of Canada men's team playing in the gold/silver game this morning.  They must have been good luck charms because Canada took the gold medal against Sweden this morning!  Yea, Canada!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and American Apparel Downtown LA, topped with SV.

Stamped using black and white Konad special polish using Nail Art Diva WB08-4 (middle play and hockey sticks on thumb), LO 06 (go on thumb), fauxnad m56 (Canada on thumb), MJ XVIII (shirt on pinky) and OB-M (ring and index).  Touched up a bit of mistamping on the maple leafs with polish and brush.

Added red polish to the hockey player using a brush as well as a few random maple leafs from Mash26. 

Topped with SV to finish.  While not that noticeable IRL, but enough to bother me, I seen some missing red on the middle finger on the maple leaf as well as minor polish drag.  

Fixed the SV drag with acetone and a brush after it had dried, then added a dot of polish to the missing area. Topped again with SV.

The Olympic games are now over...there were some highs and lows but as usual, they were exciting to watch the last two weeks! Congrats to all Olympians whether or not you medalled...I'm sure it was an amazing experience just being...and getting...there!

Thanks for looking!

Olympic Nails!

I've had the plates set aside to do an Olympic mani since the beginning of February but here it is, the games are almost over before I finally got around to doing a mani as I just did these Thursday night.  Here's what I came up with.

Started off with a base of skittles in the Olympic colours; Essie Avenue Maintain, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, Sally Hansen Black Out, Orly Raging Vine and Duri Taming of the Shrew, all two coats except the Essie which is one.  Topped with SV.

Stamped using assortment of images from following plates; MJ XI (snowboarder on thumb), MJ XVIII (hockey skates on thumbs), WB08-04 (figure skater on thumb), SdP 101 (speed skater on thumb), MJ XXIV test (images on ring finger), MoYou N10 (rings on index), MM13 (buildings on index), W219 (pinky)and MJ VII (flame on middle).  Polishes used were black Konad special polish and assortment of Mundo de Unas polishes.

The flames on the Olympic torch weren't as bright as I hoped, so hand stripped in some flames.  Added a few dots on the thumb in the same colours.

I'm hoping to do a couple more Olympic mani's before the games end including a "GO Team Canada" for the men's hockey game in the morning!
