In anticipation of the Olympics , we rounded up the best competition-themed nail art we could find on the web. Turns out what we found had nothing on the awesome digits sported by the female Olympians themselves. And don’t even get us started on their hair and makeup!
From Missy Franklin ‘s American flag fingertips to the Fab Five ‘s perfectly messy (and perfectly coordinated) ‘dos, to Russian gymnast Aliya Mustafina ‘s glittery, smokey eyes, we’ve got the best hair and beauty looks from the Olympics (so far) right here.
