With the games of the 30th Olympiad well underway in London, you’ll find us glued to the boob tube in anticipation of every split second win in the pool, each heartbreaking loss on the track. And while winning medals might not be in the cards for us personally, we’ll be wearing metals in support of our athletes—gold, silver and bronze ones. Here, a range of Olympic-inspired shades for every skintone.
Go For the Gold
This deep gold is a perfect match for those of you with warm or dark skintones. The effect is more molten metal than gold dust. Hey, if you’re going to go metallic, you might as well make a Michael Phelps’-size statement, right?

Silver Wear
Sparkly metallic nails aren’t just for teenagers—we see many a woman sporting them around the office these days. And if someone should mention it, just tell them to get with the Olympic spirit! We especially love this rich Nars shade that holds its own with cool undertones.
