Tips for Making Winter Nail Art Last

Cold air and central heating are a drying double act, so keep cuticle oil by the sink and use it daily — hydrated nails hold snowflake detail and crystal art far longer. Seal everything under a glossy top coat, refresh it every few days, and wear gloves outside and for washing up; flakes and fine linework always chip first at the free edge, so a little protection goes a long way.

From one tiny crystal flake on a single nail to a full midnight snowfall across all ten, pretty winter nails turn the coldest season into the sparkliest one. Pick your favourite frost, book the appointment, and let your hands dress for the weather in style.
