Longer nails are an ideal backdrop for a complete snowman look. A typical snowman consists of three snowballs stacked on top of each other, a carrot nose, coal eyes and a black top hat.
The longer the nail the more background details you can use with your snowman, such as a dark night sky or a grassy hill.
Using multiple colors and polishes to pull off a snowman appearance can be a complex but rewarding look. For a more understated effect, draw a snowman on only a single nail and leave the rest a solid color.
If you have shorter nails, a snowman head can get across the same fun message.
Squared-off nails provide a perfect place where the classic snowman hat to fit, and you can use either the full nail as the head, or draw a round face within the surface area of the nail itself.
To mix it up a little, you can also use press-on decorations like sequins, beads or studs for a more three-dimensional effect.
Because a snowman’s natural habitat is, of course, a snowy landscape, get in on the action by creating different textures.
Layer your snowman nail scene with matte polishes or velvet techniques in order to add depth and interest to your nails.
Using velvet flocking powder to create snowflakes or the body of the snowman can really punch up your nail design to the next level.
Enjoy the season with these delightful symbols of cold weather, and let everyone know you’re ready for sweater weather!
