Cindy Panagioutou, Maple Ridge, B.C., Canada: The North Pole has never looked so lovely with Panagioutou’s elegant icicles and snowflakes to accompany the friendly snowman and penguin.
Ryoko Garcia, Navarre, Fla.: Garcia took her handpainting skills to the next level with this snowy design.

Chelsea Bart, Victoria, B.C., Canada: With an aquamarine base of glitter, encased in clear acrylic along with confetti hexagons, these nails shine with the icy swooshing
reminiscent of a
