It’s that time of year again when sporty things whack out their rackets, footballs and even their sports cars. Yep, summer sports are here and everyone’s going crazy for ’em. The best way to get your head in the game? By matching your nails to your favourite events.
Football nails
When you can’t walk into a pub/restaurant/boyfriend’s flat without finding the footie on the screen, it can only mean one thing: The World Cup is in full swing. Because you may have friends over the globe, try to avoid going country specific in your nail design. Instead, choose for classic red polish topped with adorable little footballs at the base. Now there’s a look that’ll go down well, no matter who I watch the game with.
Top tip: Once the varnish is dry, add a lil topcoat to complete the look.
Tennis nails
With thumbs that looked like tennis balls, index fingers that match the court and pinkies that look like rackets, I feel summer sports ready.
Top tip: To get those perfect fine lines, use a lip brush. And to make the colour really pop, paint your nails with a base of white before adding colour.
Grand Prix nails
This look really takes the trophy. With black and white checks and bold reds, it totally doubles up as a great look for a girls’ night out.
Top tip: Use nail falsies. It’s so much easier to paint detailed designs when your fingertips look that lil bit longer. Just pop a little glue on the back of the falsie, then press onto your nail. Leave for a few seconds to dry and you’re good to go.
