The other day, my friend Melanie buzzed this refinery29 link showing an amazing salon, Wah Nails, that’s doing World Cup team manicures. I’m pretty into the World Cup - I’m in four different pools, I’m addicted to my ESPN/FIFA app, and I’ve even caught the second halves of the 7:30am games. I love the World Cup, and even more, I love, love, LOVE showing my support for the team with my appearance- see previous Mets dresses, Obama tops, and Health Care Reform fashion, so I decided I had to give myself these World Cup nails. Here’s the process, and the final product:

I used real paint brushes, now they’re ruined. Also, this process took nearly 2 hours. Worth it!

From left to right, top: USA, the Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, Japan

bottom: South Africa, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria

All lined up. Do not confuse the Netherlands with France. I AM NOT CHEERING FOR FRANCE.

Finished product!

Bad Romance with World Cup nails. I love to pose like Lady Gaga… see below:

Brazil versus Spain in the finals! I’m cheering for Spain - despite their loss today

So, there’s my World Cup spirit. Stay tuned for another post on my USA dress. And I know these nails don’t have anything to do with AuH2O or eco-fashion, but hey, if my store doesn’t work out, I may have a career in nail art…
