Super Bowl XLVIII is this Sunday and you need your nails to look their finest for the big day. Whether you want a "fanicure" to wear with your Broncos or Seahawks gear, or need it as your only means of repping your team, we've got you covered. We teamed up with COVERGIRL for tutorials (in GIF form!) to get you (and your nails) ready for Sunday. Check 'em out below!
(P.S. Broncos fans, we posted a different tutorial in September when you won a poll, so you have options! Either is 100% #covermoment worthy.)
STEP ONE — DENVER BRONCOS NAIL ART
Rep the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

To start your Denver Broncos "fanicure," paint two coats of Go-Go Mango 245 on your pinky, middle, and index fingers.
STEP TWO
Next, paint one coat of Sapphire Flare 307 on your ring fingers.
STEP THREE
Then, paint two coats Snow Storm 110 on your thumbs.
STEP FOUR
On your ring fingers, use a nail art dotting tool to add dots in Go-Go Mango and Snow Storm. TIP: if you don't have a dotting tool, you can use toothpicks.
STEP FIVE
On your thumbs, use a nail art brush to paint on the mane from the Broncos logo in Go-Go Mango. TIP: If you have a hard time keeping your hand steady, try bracing the hand that is painting with another finger or the table top.
STEP SIX
Let your nails dry and mentally prepare for the game. You'll either be high-fiving fellow fans or covering your eyes with your hands. Either way, your nails will look great.

STEP ONE — SEATTLE SEAHAWKS NAIL ART
Rep the Seahkaws in the Super Bowl.

For your Seattle Seahawks nail art, paint one coat of Sapphire Flare 307 on pinky, middle, and index fingers.
STEP TWO
Paint two coats of Appletini 530 on ring finger.
STEP THREE
Paint one coat Show Stopper 322 on thumb.
STEP FOUR
On your ring fingers, use a nail art dotting tool to add dots in Sapphire Flare and Show Stopper. The same tip goes for you as for Broncos fans, even though you're being pitted against one another: you can use toothpicks instead of a dotting tool.
STEP FIVE
On your thumbs, use a nail art brush to paint on the color blocked sections from the Seahawks logo in Sapphire Flare and Appletini.
