# Olympic Nail Art Designs Pixie Polish Shows You How to Look Great for the London 2012 Celebrations By Marina Rotharmel | Published 2012-07-17 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-nail-art References: [ryanseacrest](http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/07/12/gold-medal-nail-designs-send-us-your-photos/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/user/pixiepolish) Olympic nails presented by Pixie Polish are the perfect how-to for the ladies to show their spirit for the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. These nails are a combination of the [British Flag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-collection) design and the Olympic Color scheme. Nail art is more popular than ever, but this tutorial allows you to show off your festive side. You’re going to need the right colors to complete the design, which include white, blue, black, red, yellow and green. Simply start with a white base coat, then grab a thin [nail polish brush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourinone-nail-polis) (or even thin paint brush) and start working on the design. These nails are quite detailed, so a steady hand is required to get the design looking right. You could even have a friend do some of the work for you, or opt for just one statement nail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Olympics](https://www.trendhunter.com/olympics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Olympic Nail Art:** An increasing trend in nail art designs showcasing the spirit of the Olympic Games. - **Festive Nail Designs:** A rising trend of nail art tutorials that allow individuals to show off their festive side. - **Detailed Nail Art:** A trend in intricate nail designs that require a steady hand and attention to detail. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Opportunities for nail polish brands to create special edition Olympic-themed nail colors and collaborate with nail artists for tutorials. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunities for fashion accessories brands to create Olympic-themed nail wraps or decals to cater to the rising demand for festive nails. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for art and craft supply companies to create specialized tools, brushes, and paints specifically for intricate nail art designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Puzzle Cube-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orly-x-rubiks.md) - [Performance-Driven Nail Care Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/official-nail-partner.md) - [Olympic-Inspired Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-ring-menu.md) - [Customization-Friendly Nail Art Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-studio.md) - [Glittering Springtime Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-your-way-collection.md) - [Fantastical Nail Polish Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-x-wicked.md) - [Color-Shifting Smart Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipolish.md)
