The Olympics are right around the corner and we’re counting down the days until we can watch out favorite athletes compete for a gold medal. Many beauty companies have taken inspiration from this major event to create products or styles to channel the upcoming games. While you may not think that there could be that much to take a way from the Olympics as far as beauty inspiration, you should definitely think again. Take a hint from all of the athletes who are aspiring for one thing: the gold medal.

For those of us who aren’t super athletes competing in London, we will have to settle for another type of gold, silver and bronze — in the form of beauty products. Nail sets have been released by brands, such as butter LONDON and Priti NYC. Metallic lids have been all the rage on the spring runways and are a perfect way to celebrate the Olympics as well.

    definitely looking forward to seeing the US women’s gymnastics team going for gold (and excited to see how they do their makeup for the routines, too!)

  2. I have loved watching women’s gymnastics since I was a little girl so I’m always excited to see that, but I was on the swim team in high school so I love watching the swimming competitions too!

  3. jtgirl40 says:

    I love to watch it all but my favorites are track and field and boxing.

    I am lookin forward to seeing a home town native participate in the Olympics! It’s remarkable to see someone who grew up surrounded by cornfields make it to every athlete’s dream–the Olympics. Go for the gold Morgan Uceny!

  6. Denise M says:

    i am looking forward to the athlete profiles by Bob Costas that always make me cry. Also watching gymnastics and diving

    Besides all the sports (synchronized diving FTW)… I can’t wait to see how the British culture and history is portrayed during the opening ceremonies!

    I’m mostly looking forward to the gymnasts. I just love their talent, they’re truly hardworking. Especially the ones who perform on the balance beam. They must have a lot of blisters on their feet, not to mention the incredible balance and coordination one must have to do that.

  12. Natalie M says:

    Watching the diving competition is my favorite part of the Olympics! Seeing the diver launch off of the board and contort themselves into amazing shapes and then land in perfect form is truly awe-inspiring!
