I think it says a lot about me that what I notice most about the Australian Olympic swimming team is their fancy green and gold nail art.
Not how the 'Missile missed the target' or the armspan of Michale Phels, or the Ye Shiwen doping controversty. No, I'm like 'check out Stephanie Rice's nails!'
It seems she and the other Olympians sporting this look (see what I did there) have stumbled onto a new trend.
Nail art is all I seem to see on Instagram and Pinterest lately. The last time I did 'nail art' was in year 3 when I got a nail tattoo kit for my birthday but apparently my press on butterfly and flower stickers would be highly sought after in the Olympic village.
I'm not sure I have the energy or urge to paint my nails with tiny kangaroos but hey I get it. You can't exactly accessorise an Olympic athlete, you have to stand out somehow.
Check out some of the best nail art of the Olympics and maybe get inspired to create your own.
