Unless you're lucky enough to live in ever-sunny Hawaii (like us 😉), you may wake up to snowy landscapes and frosty windows each morning. If that sounds all too familiar, why not express the winter weather through your nail art?

Though we're well past Christmas, winter usually lasts well into February for many Americans. So, you have a great reason to add delicate snowflakes to your manicure!

Keep reading, and we'll share our 10 favorite nail designs with snowflakes, snow, and everything in between.

The beauty of snowflakes lies in their delicate patterns and intricate lines. Though it can be hard to replicate this individuality and artistry, it's easy with our nail stamping kits.

Our nail stamping kits come with all the essential tools to make at-home nail art a breeze - including a nail stamping plate!

At Maniology, we carry hundreds of nail stamping plates in a variety of designs, patterns, and motifs that you can use to express yourself with ease.

That's how we created the design above!

After all, you didn't think any human could actually make such intricate, detailed, and precise snowflakes by hand? Maybe the pros can. But if you simply dabble in nail art in your free time, you deserve to have tools on hand that won't make creating gorgeous and glamorous nail art a chore.

With the "Frosty Snowflakes" nail stamping plate, you can recreate the exact design above without breaking a sweat.

And when you tire of snowflake nail designs, you can browse any of our other nail stamping plates for more inspiration.

This majestic and royal mix of electric blue and bright white is truly one for the books.

If you're looking for striking and stellar snowflake nails, you really can't go wrong with this color combination. We recommend using these "Bluebeam" and "Bam! White" nail polishes.

#3. North Pole

We may be way past Christmas, but we can't ever say "no" to a Winter Wonderland.

These ombre pale blue and creamy white nails feature delicate black snowflakes and a cozy North Pole cabin. You can either tuck this nail art inspiration away until Christmas 2025 or wear it alongside your out-of-season Halloween manicure.

And if you really can't let go of the Christmas spirit, incorporate some candy cane stripes into this design (while playing Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" on full blast. Who cares that it's nearly March, right?!)

#4. Galaxy Snowflake Nails
