The Summer Olympics in Paris have given us some pretty unforgettable moments, and many of our favorite athletes collected their medals with some pretty elaborate manicures. Patriotic nails were trending in Paris, and we’re bringing you five manicures that truly went the extra mile.
Sha’Carri Richardson
Sha’Carri Richardson had been a huge fan of elaborate nail art long before the Paris Olympics came along. She collected her silver medal in the 100m with a bedazzled manicure inspired by the American flag.
Simone Biles
The most decorated gymnast in history was on top of her game in Paris, and we’ve seen her pick three golds and one silver while wearing a classic French manicure.
Suni Lee & Jordan Chiles
Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles were also a part of Team USA’s “Golden Girls” team alongside Biles, and they’ve impressed us with some stunning manicures of their own.
Noah Lyles
Male athletes also didn’t shy away from expressing their Olympic spirit through nail art, starting with Noah Lyles. The American sprinter won the 100m gold medal while wearing a manicure inspired by the colors of the American flag.
Erin Gemmell & Katie Ledecky
Team USA’s female swimming team won silver in the 4x200m freestyle relay, while Katie Ledecky won two more golds. Several members of the team wore red, white, and blue manicures to mark the occasion.
