Hey gorgeous! Nail art is both fun to look at and do as well. Not only that, it can also count as an accessory. Whether you wanna show off your holiday spirit right before Christmas or just need an excuse to be creative on the weekend, or even if you wanna hang out at a nail salon with your bestie, nail art is the perfect idea! From complementing your outfit to enhancing it, a nail art can do so much to your look.

Whether you experience snow in winter or not, here’s 20 snow nail art ideas to get into the wintry holiday spirit! While all these snow nails are sure to perk up your festive mood just by looking at them, we’ve tried to include something for the lazy (beginner) gals and nail art pros alike!

We saw so many different types of snow nail art amongst the Instagram pics of the nail art pros. Some like itheir snow nails glittery, some did it colorful, some kept it minimal. There are so many ways you can depict snow. From snowflakes, to snow-covered tree-tops to snowed-on nail tips, the options are limitless.

If you’re not a pro, or just looking for a minimal winter nail art design, go for white dots on a dark or blue background to make snow. If you want an intricate design, take a thin brush and draw snowflakes with sides, circles and all. You can keep them geometric or curvy. You can make it dreamy, Christmas-y or light pastel-shaded. Let’s check out all the ideas!
