Let it Snow- Winter Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year, unfortunately I was sick for the first start of the year, but now I am feeling much better. Anyways today we will be creating a pretty winter themed nail design, using one of the Holo Taco magnetic polishes, two of the holo toppers and a glitter polish.

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this winter nail design:


Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat. 

Polishes- Holo Taco- Twice in a Blue Moon- Magnetic Magic Collection, LA Colors- Diamond Crush- Cloud 9, Holo Taco- Flakie, and Holo Taco- Scattered.

Acrylic paint- White.

Other- makeup sponge. 

Nail art tools- Small dotting tool and a thin stripper brush.

Apply a base coat to clean dry nails.

Let that dry.

Polish- 

Thumb, middle, and ring finger nail- Shimmer Blue Polish (Holo Taco- Twice in a Blue Moon)

Index and pinky finger nail- A light blue glitter polish, with a scatter holo topper (LA Colors- Diamond Crush- Cloud 9, and Hold Taco scattered.) 

For the Holo Taco Polish Twice in a Blue Moon, this is a magnetic polish and I did do the magnetic part, it is just hard to tell, I still couldn't get it to show up as well. 

On our index and pinky nails, we will just leave this with just the light blue glitter and a scatter holo topper to add more or a shine to this design.

Let that dry.

First we will make a simple snowflake design on our middle and ring finger nails, with a glitter gradient. 

First we will do the glitter gradient, this will also include the thumb nail. I first polish just a little on the tip of the nail, then I take a makeup sponge, polish a little on the sponge, then dab the sponge on to the tip of the nails, lastly I polish a little more on the tip of the nails where I want just a little more glitter. 

Let that dry.

Now on to the snowflake. Take a thin stripper brush with white paint on it and make a cross shape, then an X shape through that. Do this two time on the nail for your snowflake shapes.

For smaller snowflake, we will just make a few small dots with a small dotting tool.

Lastly we will create the larger snowflake on the thumb nail, once again take your large stripper brush with white paint on and make a cross shape, then an X shape over that, then make two lines/ arrow shape on each line on the cross shape, then make two lines/ arrow shape on the X shape. Lastly on the space between the snowflake make some small lines. 

Also once again for the small snowflakes take a small dotting tool with white paint on it and make small dots around the nail.

Once you nails are ready for the winter weather, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last.

Hope all of you enjoyed this winter nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
