I'm obsessed with all things winter. It's an unpopular (and practically blasphemous) opinion, but I'd way rather exist in a perpetual 50-degree climate than ever have to go outside on a 90-degree day. And thus, November through February are pretty much my freaking dream. And what better way to celebrate winter than to stick it on your manicure in the form of snowflake nails? I'm talkin' minimalist designs, subtle shimmer, and just a hint of glitter to make your fingers look festive yet pretty—so, you know, the exact opposite of your over-the-top childhood nail art.
But even if winter is the bane of your existence, it ain't going anywhere for a few months, so why not get in on the vibes with one of these cute snowflake nail designs, below? I'm biased, but I think you should start screenshotting these ideas immediately and embrace the snow and cold. Brb while I roll around in a pile of sweaters.
