Glamorous Christmas Nails: DIY Snowflakes Tutorial

Say cheers to the Jolly season with festive and glamorous Christmas Nails!

Christmas is probably the most exciting time of the year to show off your nails with gorgeous and joyful Nail Arts, so for the occasion here is a special Christmas nail inspo to celebrate in style. Discover how to do this quick and cute Snowflakes Nail Art, very easy to do by yourself at home, comfortably seating by the Christmas tree or while enjoying a glass of bubbles with your girlfriends or family 🥂

I used Creamy Baby Pink gel polish for the pink nail colour, White gel polish for the white nail colour, Silver Chrome Powder for the silver nail colour, the Matte Top Coat to mattify the nail before designing the snowflakes, a dotting tool to do the snowflakes little dots and a 11mm Nail Art Brush to design the snowflakes Nail Art.

What I really like about this Nail Art: it’s super quick and easy to do, so it’s the perfect nail idea if you are busy running around with your Christmas preparations and don’t have much time to do your nails. At the same time, it’s a really nice and chic nail design that will quickly glam up your nails for Christmas!

The trick to obtain the iridescent finish instead of a mirror finish, is to apply the chrome powder directly onto the cured nail colour (no top coat). Use a makeup brush to softly brush the powder to the tip of the nail to create the Ombre nail effect.

I did some trials with other nail chrome powders, Rose gold chrome powder and Gold chrome powder, so you have a look at the nail photos below and choose which Glam colour you prefer for your Christmas nails 🌟

To create this look, you’ll need:

Base gel polish
Top Coat gel polish
Matte Top Coat
Creamy Baby Pink gel polish
White gel polish
11mm Nail Art brush
A Dotting tool
A makeup brush
LED or UV nail lamp
Basic kit (alcohol or cleaner to remove any trace of oil from your nails and clean your brush, paper towel or pad and a wooden cuticle stick to scrape off the gel in case you get over the edges)

Level of difficulty: medium
