Snowflakes are a deceptively intricate design for your nails. All you need is a thin brush and a steady hand, and soon you’ll have the perfect holiday touch! These snowflakes look great over a metallic base, and go with any holiday party outfit.
Let’s get started!
What you’ll need:
- Nail polish: a base color and color(s) for your snowflakes.
- A thin striper brush
How to do it:
1) Paint your base and let it dry. See my directions for getting a great base coat.
2) With your snowflake color, paint an X across your nail. Try and make the center as small as possible and the ends long.
3) Paint vertical and horizontal lines through the center. Again, try to keep the center of the snowflake small.
Tip: You can choose to only add a vertical line in this step to simplify this design.
4) Here’s the tricky part. Paint two small Vs on each line of your snowflake. Take your time with this step!
Don’t forget your topcoat! Now you have a cute holiday accessory.
