Winter icy blue and silver nail designs start with very specific nail preparations and choice of cool colours. Mould the nails into classy forms like almond, coffin, or smooth square and push the cuticles against the nail then softly buff the nail to give it a smooth finish. Apply primer on the surface and then apply fine applications of layers of icy blue, frosted pastel or pale steel-blue paint. Such colours form a winter-themed winter-inspired base, which reflects light remarkably well and adds the theme of the season.

In order to add value to the design, use silver details to give it a frosted luxurious look. Chrome silver tips, subtle snowflake patterns, or fine glitter gradients can be used to add a little dimension. Icey nails are customised with metals using foil, shimmering overlay or crystal placements which help to complement the nails rather than break the look. Starting with a school-shinny or glass-polish surface at the finish, to cover and finish off the design, in order to enhance the shine as well as to give it durability winter-long.
