Let it Snow or Not- Snowflake Winter Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good winter, or a least trying to get through it. If you live in a cold environment or really anywhere it has been a cold winter for everyone, even the people that live in a normally warmer environment. Anyways this week we will be creating a let is snow nail design even if we are all tired of the snow, I know I am. But for some reason I still wanted to create a snow themed nail design.

 Snowflake Nail Design

Here are the nail polishes and nail art tools used for this nail design: 

Base and top coat- - CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polish-  Zoya Enchanted- Saint, JulieG- Blueberry Fizz- texture, and Revlon Holographic Pearls (for some reason I didn't take a photo of this polish, so I garbed a photo from online.) 

Acrylic paint- white 

Nail art tools- medium and small dotting tool, detail brush, thin striping brush, and a small detail brush. 

Other- glass or cup of water to clean off nail art brushes.

Let's start this snow filled nail design!

As always start off with a thin layer of base coat.

Let the base coat dry and then on your index and pinky finger nail, polish that with a periwinkle blue polish (I used Zoya- Saint), then on your thumb, middle and ring finger nail polish that with a glittery or textured periwinkle blue polish (I used  JulieG- Blueberry Fizz this is a textured polish). 

On my right hand I polished the thumb and ring finger with JulieG- Blueberry Fizz and the index, middle, and pinky with Zoya- Saint.

Then for an added touch, I just had to add some holo to this design. Take a holographic top coat (I used Revlon Holographic Pearls) one that has a little bit of holo in it, and apply that to all of the nails over both of the polishes.

Then let your base colors dry, and now on the snowflakes.This design like most of the designs I do, it is just random patterns/ lines that are put together, their is no set way of doing this design. 

All of the snowflakes should start off with a star like pattern, then add some arrow like lines on each line, you can have a lot of lines, one, or just a few.

On the thumb, the snowflake that is on the lower right hand corner I added some triangle shapes in the center of the snowflake.  

Then on all of the nails with a dotting tool, you can make some small dots for some small snowflakes.

To be extra random on the pinky finger nail on the left hand, I added some swirls on the side of the nail.

Then on the right hand on the ring finger nail, I took a stripping brush and made some line lines that looked kind of like icicles, with two small star shapes for snowflakes.

Once you have your snowflakes the way you like apply a top coat to protect your nails from the cold and snowy weather, or really just from chipping to soon.

Hope all of you enjoyed this snowflake nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
