So i really love winter for doing nails. Snowflakes are my thing every single winter – they’re here to stay as far as trends go, they’re cute, and they never get boring to me!
Something about having little ice crystals on your fingers just feels nice. You can do them simple or you can do them fancy, and I got 30 different trending design ideas here that you’re gonna love. Just don’t forget to screenshot or pin your favorite ones! Lets start!
Minimalist Short Snowflake Nails
This one is good when you want cute nails but not crazy. Short nails with little white snowflakes on milky white looks really nice and clean for winter! Its easy to do at home if your hands dont shake to much.
French Tips With Glitter And Rhinestones
I take regular french nails and add sparkles around the cuticle on accent nail. The rhinestones can also go on tiny snowflakes and it looks fancy! This is my favorite for partys because it looks expensive.
Light Blue Ombre With Snow Accents
Neutral base that fade to baby blue, it looks like the sky in winter. Then you add the white snowflakes with some rhinestone centers. Makes me think of frozen princess stuff.
Navy Base With Glitter Trail And Snowflakes
Navy blue is so pretty for winter and nobody does it enough. I put glitter going across some nails diagonal, almost like a frozen trail, and then add some large accent white snowflakes! The dark blue with bright white just looks really good together.
Holographic Snowflake Stickers On Pastel Base
Ok so if you’re lazy these stickers are great. Just paint your nails pastel colors and stick the holo snowflakes on. They change colors in the light which is cool and saves time!
Black Nails With Snowflakes And Ornaments
Black nails can still be festive with white snowflakes and little ornaments painted on. You can add red or gold if you want or just keep it black and white! Both ways look good.
Square Silver Chrome French Tips
Chrome is really popular right now. I use neutral base and put silver chrome on the tips that looks super shiny. Add snowflakes on a few nails and its modern winter nails!
Matte White With Silver Chrome Snowflakes
The matte white makes the chrome snowflakes really pop out. Its clean and fancy looking for any place you go! Matte always makes nails look more expensive I think.
Short Nails With Steel Blue Snowflakes
Steel blue is nice shade because its not too bright or too dark. Paint snowflakes in that color on short nails and it totally transforms the look. It’s winter themed but not obvious about it which I do like sometimes!
Rose Gold Snowflake Nails
Rose gold makes snowflakes look so pretty and warm. You can do rose gold glitter base with white snowflakes or backwards! Either way its feminine and cozy feeling.
Classy French Nails With Snowflake Accent
Most nails get regular french tips then one nail gets a big snowflake design. You can also mix and match colors – some white French tips, some pastel pink. This way you get the classy french look but still show your nail art! I do this a lot, it’s simple and cute – always works.
Green With Gold Glitter And Flakes
Green with gold glitter looks like Christmas trees! Add gold shiny snowflakes and gold glitter or foil pieces on some of the tips for festive vibes! The gold makes it feel fancy instead of basic.
Minimalist Snow Blizzard Nails
You just put tons of tiny white dots on light color nails in different sizes and then a few medium sized snowflake designs. It looks like snow falling which is simple but really cool! Works good on milky white or blush bases.
Navy To White Ombre With Frosty Accents
Navy fading into white is so smooth and pretty, then add white dots at the tips or an accent nail to make it even more frosty looking! Reminds me of really cold nights when everything sparkles.
Long Square Frenchies With Crystal Tips And Large Snowflake
If you love looong nails this look is amazing. Square shape acrylic with crystal-like gemstones on the tips is stunning already, then put one big snowflake detail on your ring finger! Its dramatic but classy and not tacky, which is a delicate balance to strike sometimes with really long nails.
Brown Glitter Nails With Intricate Snowflake
Brown for winter maybe sounds weird but its actually really pretty when it’s in glitter form. The single snowflake accent stands out nice against the neutral base! Nobody does this color in winter and yet they should.
Dusty Mauve Snowflake Nails
Mauve is that pinky/purplish/dusty/muted color thats really pretty and not to girly – perfect balanced look for anyone. Add white snowflakes and an accent white pinky nail and it just works for everything! This color is one of my favorite understated shades in winter time.
Long Stiletto White Ombre
Long pointy nails that go from neutral pinkish base to white with some accent nails with silver glitter on the tips – what a winter wonderland! The flawless long shape with soft colors looks really cool together! The glitter makes it icy and a bit more glam.
Short Beige Snowy Nails
Short plus beige with tiny white snowflakes is super subtle for work and if you want something simple. White dots around like gentle snow and its barely there but still festive! Good if your job is strict about nails or you just like simplicity.
Simple White Snowy Nails
Go for a classic look with milky white nails with teeny tiny snowflakes – it is classic winter. Its clean and screams winter without trying hard! Plus white makes your hands look nice.
Edgy Geometric Black Tips
Black geometric shapes at the tips like triangles with white snowflakes mixed in and also some silver dot ornaments. Its artsy and different from normal snowflake nails! Good if you want something unique looking, black definitely stands out in winter.
White Chrome Snowflake Nails
Glazed donut look but make it winter – chrome in white is super shiny and looks icy. You can do white snowflakes on chrome or chrome snowflakes on basic milky white! Either way the textures are fun and people notice the shimmer.
Snowy French Nails With Rhinestones
French tips but with snow, then add a few rhinestones to really take things to new level. The rhinestones sparkle and make your nails feel special! I love how they catch light.
Navy Base With Mirror Details And Glitter Accent Nail
these dark navy nails with mirror details added like a little mosaic on one accent nails look totally unique. Add one large white snowflake on middle nail and it looks frosty! The glitter nail adds some brighteness and really perfects the look.
Square Milky Snowflake Nails
Milky white nails are trendy and perfect for winter snowflake nails. The see through white is a natural look but more elegant! Square shape makes it practical and modern and everything looks fresh.
Short Gray Sweater Nails With Snowflakes
It wouldn’t be winter without some sweater nails when you make that knit pattern on your nails with the help of some clear acrylic powder. Add white snowflakes and the short gray nails suddenly look so cozy! The texture is 3D which is cool and not that hard to learn.
Long Clear Acrylic With Icy Snowflakes
Clear acrylic nails with white or holo icy effect snowflakes look soooo stunning here. The see through part with frosty snowflakes is really pretty and different! Its literally like frosted glass nails.
Neutral Winter Nails With Icicles And Rhinestones
Neutral nails with icicles painted dripping from cuticle and rhinestones for sparkle, plus snowflakes, of course. Icicles are easier then they look with white polish and thin brush! Add snowflakes if you want more winter stuff.
French Nails With Icy Crystal Details
French tips but the white parts have holographic crystal shapes stuck on to look like icy details. Use detail brush and white polish to add some snowflakes and add a gemstone in the center! Its subtle but people notice the beauty up close.
Pastel Ombre Snowflake Nails
Multiple pastel colors fading together like pink purple and blue with white snowflakes. The soft rainbow with snowflakes is dreamy! This ones good if you cant pick one color.
