To get you inspired as we head into a weekend of matches, we've rounded up the coolest, non-cheesy art for every team left in the tournament. Trust us, you'll want to be wearing these at kick-off.

The World Cup can get intense, but your nail art doesn't have to be. Sweep on a neutral base, then choose one or two accent nails to show your loyalty.
@polishemtyBrazil
If you believe your team is going to be in it for the long haul (and shouldn't you?), go for a French manicure which only looks better as it grows out.
@nails_bymiEngland
Why stop at your country's flag when you could also include its national flower, the Tudor rose?
@cmjamsSpain
Write out your love for your team, and add a few embellishments while you're at it.

If you're drawing on a striped flag like this fan, you're going to want tape to create the straightest, most precise lines.
@nailsbychichiFrance
Believe it or not, the French did not invent the French manicure — but that doesn't make this design, complete with the country's flag, any less fitting.
@opi_franceJapan
Look to your country's team uniform and star players to create a unique look — like this fan's attention-grabbing mani.

Make your nails stand out by adding cool 3D decals to your tips.
@euro_nails_txCroatia
Down to the very last detail, this manicure references the Croatian flag in style.
@evgenia.dzaferovicDenmark
This fan pays homage to Denmark with a delicate almond-shaped manicure and a single accent nail.
@miaagathonColombia
This manicure, inspired by the colors of the Colombian flag, is something we'd wear long after the World Cup games are over.
@raechelsnailsPortugal
A red-hot manicure fitting for Cristiano Ronaldo's home team.
@anamarisacarvalhoSweden
If detailed art isn't really your speed, stick to the basics and just alternate your country's colours on every nail.
@nailsbytulsaUruguay
A striped manicure that's patriotic and pretty.
@mgsariitaBelgium
We're loving this fan's unexpected, geometric take on her country's flag.
@la_paillette_frondeuseArgentina
Ombré? Check. Glitter? Check. A nod to your country's flag? Check. This fan covered every 2018 nail art trend, and showed her love for her team.
