Single Snowflakes

We love a demure manicure, and this one takes the cake. It’s simple and elegant but has a frosty feel that’s festive and fun. Plus, it works best on short nails so you can take a break from extensions and still have a stylish manicure.

Snowflake French Manicure

Take a classic approach to the trend and pair your snowflake designs with a French manicure and almond tips. The combination is a subtle way to lean into the wintery look.

Icicles & Snowflakes

This manicure is as maximalist as they come. The extra-long stiletto shape isn’t for everyone, but for this look, they provide lots of canvas space to get creative. From the silver glitter polish to the gemstones and snowflake accent, the look embodies the icicle nail vibe that’s trending.
