The fusion of Olympic and Hong Kong elements on their fingertips perfectly symbolizes the spirit of the Olympics and Hong Kong, preparing to shine on the international stage.
To demonstrate their determination to compete in the Paris Olympics, 6 members of the Hong Kong swimming team—Siobhan Haughey, Cheng Lai Mei, Au Hoi Chun, Tam Hoi Lam, Kan Kuet Tung, and Cheung Sum Yuet—were the first to sport nail art styles inspired by the Olympics. The nail art designs draw inspiration from the bauhinia flower, the Olympic rings, and the Eiffel Tower. The nail styles of the team members are quite similar, predominantly featuring blue, white, and red colors, blending bauhinia flower patterns and elements of the Olympic rings to showcase team spirit.
