Tools

I used:

• Barry M 306 Blueberry I/C
• Barry M Blackjack
• Barry M 629 Matte White
• Essence Top Coat
• Masking tape
• Small paintbrush
• Small dotting tool

Step 1

Paint your nails blue.

Step 2

Use the masking tape to paint a diagonal white french tip on all your nails.

Step 3

Using the dotting tool, add some white dots to represent snowflakes on the blue part of the nail.

Step 4

Using the paintbrush, paint one or two trees on all nails except your ring finger by painting a black line and then a few diagonal strokes coming off the line. Paint a skier on your ring finger, going down the slope, using the black too.

Step 5

Add a white ski pole to the skier using the paintbrush.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.

Tools

I used:

• Collection French Mani 322 French Pink
• Rimmel 60 Seconds 703 White Hot Love
• Barry M Black Nail Art Pen
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Sponge
• Circular gems

Step 1

Paint your nails with the nude nail varnish.

Step 2

Using the sponge, dab white onto the tips of your nails, making it fade from the tip upwards.

Step 3

Using the black nail art pen, draw half a snowflake, as described in this previous post, against the cuticle.

Step 4

Paint over the whole nail with the top coat and, while it is still wet, place a gem in the centre of the snowflake. Then, once it has dried, cover it all in another top coat to stop the gem falling off.

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• 'Maybelline 825 Oh So Close'
• 'Nail Art Pen White'
• 'Model's Own Pen Black'
• 'Nail Art Pen Orange'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 198 Azure'
• '17 Fury'
• 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'
• A small, metal banded paintbrush (plastic would dissolve!) - I used size 10/0
• Nail varnish remover
• A tissue

Step 1

Paint your nails silver. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Paint a free-hand line across the bottom of your nail using the white nail art varnish. Make it a little bumpy so it looks like snow covered ground.

Step 3

Using a paint brush, paint a large white circle to one side of your nail, resting on the white line. 

Step 4

Using a paintbrush, paint a smaller white circle on top of the large circle. You may have to repeat steps 3 and 4 to make the circles darker.

Step 5

Using the black nail art pen, paint a hat on top of the smaller circle. Start with the line across, then draw the outline of the hat and finally fill it in.

Step 6

Using the black nail art pen, add in the eyes and buttons on each of the snowmen.

Step 7

Using the orange nail art pen, draw an elongated triangle under the eyes for the nose. You could use a paintbrush as this gives it more of a point.

Step 8

Using a paintbrush, paint in a scarf on each of the snowmen. You can use any colours you like - I chose to use alternating gold and blue. 

Step 9

Using the white nail art pen, add in small dots surrounding each snowman.

Step 10 

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
