Olympic fever is sweeping the nation, bringing with it the ideal excuse to try out new nail art designs.

We take a look at Olympics-inspired patterns that you'll want to recreate as you watch the games this summer...

We're loving the way @hannah_nails_it has not only shown her support for Team GB but has also celebrated the Rio games by paying tribute to this year's Olympic mascot!

If you want to try Olympic-themed nail art but don't have much time, try simply painting the tips of your nails the same colours as the Olympic rings like @nailsbymh.

Have you got a favourite athlete? Try a quirky nail art tribute like the one @nails.by_julia did in honour of Michael Phelps!

Take note from @kameronlnailsmt and try painting a different country's flag on each nail, and paint one nail with an Olympic Rings pattern for an eye-catching style.

A summery coral shade and a statement nail with the Olympic mascot pattern like @ageliki_karali's look makes for an eye-catching design.

We're loving @ester_nail's striped pattern in the Olympic colours - and her nod to the coveted medals with her statement nail!

We're loving @gudistock's mix of block colours and glitter to get into a party mood - and the Olympic Rings feature of course!

Whether you're heading to Rio or watching the games from home, celebrate this year's games with a Brazilian-themed manicure like @leah_an0718's.

Go for gold with a simple and easy yet glamorous glittering shade like the one @fancynailsoncrossover is rocking.

Try sports ball-patterned designs like @nataliemyhill for a quirky tribute to the competition.
