Paint your nails in varying shades of gray to mimic the color of the chilly weather outside. Add textured designs, like dots and snowflakes, to elevate the look.
Use a bright red or burgundy polish to coat each nail twice. Then, instead of waiting for the color to dry, use its tackiness to place gold foil pieces onto the nail.
Use a dotting device to make six dots on the nail. With a toothpick, lengthen each dot into a line, enhancing the snowflake with two sets of stems on each line.
