Snowflake

Hey there!

This week I wanted to try my hand at painting a snowflake, free hand with my nail art brush. For this manicure you will need a winter icy blue nail color, a silver nail color, a chunky glitter polish that has white and silver geometric shapes and of course a nail art brush.

I started off with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two coats of Sinful Colors Wonder Mint on my pinky, middle and pointer fingernails. I did two coats of Icing Heavy Metal on my ring fingernails and thumbs. I used Icing Heavy metal and a nail art brush to paint a snowflake on my middle fingernail. I started with three diagonal lines across the nail. I then added fishtails to the ends and more fishtails to the middle of each diagonal line. I then used Whim Frosted Cupcake as a glitter overlay on the rest of my fingernails, concentrating on the base of the nail and less at the tips. Once everything was dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of INM Out the Door.

Finished!

Ah!! I absolutely love the color palette of this manicure and the glitter is so pretty!! Sorry for the pictures, I started out with a different color nail polish and changed my mind later on, so the silver polish isn't in the tutorial pics. The snowflake on my right hand has thicker lines than the snowflake on my left hand, but they still both look good. I just need to keep practicing using that brush! I hope you loved this manicure and I will see you next time!!
