Snowflake nail art is one of the most popular winter designs. Follow this tutorial to create your own winter wonderland!

What You Will Need - Navy blue or black base polish - White nail art polish or acrylic paint - Thin nail art brush (size 0 or 00) - Dotting tool - Top coat

Step 1: Apply Base Color Start with two coats of your chosen dark base color. Navy blue works beautifully for snowflakes.

Step 2: Create the Snowflake Base Using your thin brush and white polish, draw a small plus sign (+) in the center of your nail.

Step 3: Add Diagonal Lines Draw an X through the center of your plus sign, creating 8 points total.

Step 4: Add Details At the end of each line, add small V shapes pointing outward. You can also add dots using your dotting tool.

Step 5: Seal with Top Coat Once your design is completely dry, apply a generous layer of top coat to protect your artwork.

Pro Tips - Practice on a nail wheel first - Keep your brush loaded with polish for smooth lines - Work on one nail at a time to prevent smudging

With a little practice, you will be creating stunning snowflake designs in no time!
