Minimalists often rely on dark nail colors. And I completely understand that. There is a magical attraction in dark nail polish. It looks particularly stylish, a bit dramatic, but very elegant.
If dark nails are a bit too much for you, you can only use the dark shades as accents. The idea for the trendyOutline French Nailswith dark lines and black snowflakes take the popular motif to a completely different level.
For lovers of the black and white color combination, these Yin and Yang style snowflakes are a great choice. The sparkling dark gray for the fingertips and the rest of the nails makes the manicure look magical.

“It snows at night” That’s what I would call this nail design. The dark blue nail polish in combination with a subtle shimmer and detailed ice crystals is a real eye-catcher on your fingernails. Such an eye-catching design goes particularly well with short nails because it makes them stand out.
Colored nail designs with snowflakes
Light, dark and classic Christmas - these aren't all the options for fantastic winter nails with snowflakes. The small snow crystals also look great on colored nail polishes and turn the colored manicure into a beautiful winter nail design.
So choose your favorite nail polish color and transform it into a winter nail jewel. If your outfit for the Christmas party has already been decided, you can coordinate the color of the manicure with it.
To make the snowflakes stand out better, we recommend a nude base coat for the fingernails with the motifs. Another way to accentuate the snowflake is to highlight the motif with a little glitter.
