Snowy Nail Article and More.

It's time for another update on my recent Beauty Blitz nail tutorials. Here in New York we have been suffering through an especially snow-filled winter, so of course I couldn't resist a weather-inspired manicure. You can find out how I created this slightly romanticized version of snow, here. 

If you would prefer to read a how-to for a more summery manicure, I also wrote my instructions for sugar spun nails, which you can read here.

Glam Snowflake Nails.

It's been snowing all day here and I decided I needed a manicure to match. I posted a stamped snowflake design a little over a year ago, so I thought it would be a great time to try freehand snowflakes.

I also chose to not use the typical snow-y manicure colors and went with polishes that would match my style and wardrobe a little better. I used Bellisimo Naples Night Out for the base color and Orly Rage for the dots and snowflakes. At first I was thinking I would stick to just snowflakes on my nails, but after I started I decided to add lots of dots to mimic snow. Plus, I happen to think dots done in Orly Rage are super pretty!

When I decided to try doing snowflakes in an untraditional color with an unexpected background color I wasn't sure if it would end up translating well, but I was very happy with the color combination when I finished. I love how it mixes things up a little.

Winter Snowflake Nails.

December is just beginning and I've already seen more snow this year than I saw for the entirety of last winter. And of course the weather is always good nail inspiration!

I think these snowflake nails are very cute. I like how simple they are.

The base color is Color Club Cold Metal and I used the BM-14 plate for the snowflakes and stamped with Konad Special White polish. The rhinestones are from a wheel I bought on Amazon!
