The Olympics are in full swing and we want to know if you chicks are in the sporty spirit?

I'll admit that I'm not the most athletic person, but when the Olympics come around, it puts me in quite the festive mood! It seems I'm not the only one. Whether it's Olympic inspired makeup or fashion, everyone seems to have a case of Olympic fever.

Just check out how these athletes show some pride:

With that in mind, we scoured the web looking for some top contenders in the Olympic nail art category. Which one of these nail art looks would you gladly show off?

If you're looking to replicate some of these spirited manicures at home, here are a few nail polishes and nail products that we think take first place:

1. Butter London Heavy Metal Trio (C$44.00)
2. Rebel Nails Union Jack Glittering Button Sparkle Nail Wraps (UK$7.99)
3. A England in Perceval (C$13.50)
4. Julep Nail Vernis in America (C$16.00)
5. China Glaze Magnetix in Gold Fusion (C$10.50)
6. Nail Rock Designer Nail Sets in Union Jack Duo (UK$10.00)

Have you been glued to the television watching the Olympics? Would you try out any of these patriotic looks?

I do quite like the simple stripes as seen on the German athletes (black/gold/red) which strike me as being the most wearable. The tennis/basketball/swimming designs are very cute, though I know for sure I'd never have a steady enough hand to do it. Did anyone see DeeDee Trotter's (female American sprinter) face paint? That was kind of different. At first I couldn't tell what was on her face. http://www.style.com/beauty/beautycounter/2012/08/face-paint-is-on-the-fast-track-with-olympian-deedee-trotter/
