London Marathon nails

[Lovelygirl85]

So I'm running the marathon next week HOWEVER the most important thing is my nails!!! Haha!!

I'm having a mind blank mind you on how to design them. Any ideas or sketches you can give me? Will be using shellac on natural nails x

Ooh well done you! And good luck!!

Which charity are you running for? Maybe you could do your nails in their colours and maybe attempt their logo? xxxx

I'm not running for charity, just for myself! I run with a club so I think one of my nails will be their colours but I want some London-esque

The Union Jack in the minx collection is really nice. Rebecca Adlington wore them during the Olympics.
Good luck! xx

Colour the heart with wildfire and write the letters with black pool? xx

Red bus is probably more do-able. R a black cab? London Underground symbol? xx

 

[Lovelygirl85]

Underground - how could I forget that!!

there were some good london skyline nails in scratch magazine for the olympics last year, try typing "london nails" or "marahon nails" into google then clicking images x

 

[Lovelygirl85]

Did one hand so far. What do you think? They're not perfect but I'm trying haha!

The one on my pinkie finger is my running club vest colours!

 

[CHarvey]

Could you do one nail dedicated to Boston? Like the Boston Athletic clubs symbol?

 

[Lovelygirl85]

Oh I never even thought.
I'm not sure - I'll be wearing a black ribbon in my hair n the day but will think about incorporating something into my other hand.
