Temperatures have been below freezing here and there’s a layer of snow on the ground, with no sign of thaw in sight.

Deep winter days can be a great time to stay cozy inside and dive into your favorite hobby, like painting your nails.

Keeping your nails painted when the air is cold and dry will also keep your nails protected, preventing them from breaking.

During the chillier months, I like to start my manicures with a strengthening base coat, like essie strong start. It’s infused with biotin, which helps to reinforce the nail, making them more resistant to peeling and chipping.

As the temperature drops, you also may be wanting to tune into your inner Ice Queen with some frostier hues. I certainly feel that way.

What is an Ice Queen, you ask?

Ice Queens are emotionally distant, aloof and restrained. They can stay cool, calm and collected in situations that would bring others to the brink. 

They’re unbothered.

Channeling the energy of your inner Ice Queen can be useful; it can help you maintain a sense of composure no matter what happens, a skill that can come in handy in countless scenarios.

In addition to having a firm control over their emotional display, Ice Queens also have a reputation for being physically attractive. 

What’s better than being physically attractive and in control of your emotions? I can’t think of much! Both of these qualities are super powers.

Of course, there are times in life when you’ll want to defrost the Ice Queen in you, but during deep winter, this feminine archetype has a place.

Thinking about tapping into your Ice Queen character self? Below you’ll find 5 frosty winter nail colors that’ll help you do just that.

All swatches below are shown with a base of essie strong start and without a top coat.

Here are the Ice Queen inspired nail colors: 

Huella Beauty Glitter Pill To Swallow swatch

Huella Beauty Glitter Pill To Swallow

This 15-free, cruelty-free, vegan and made in the USA polish is designed to be a topper, but you can wear it by itself.

Shown in 3 coats, Glitter Pill To Swallow packs a punch with the sparkle. It’s a multi-color glitter in a sheer white base with green, blue and gold shimmers, giving it an icy finish with a warm touch.

L.A. Colors Sugar Snowflake swatch

L.A. Colors Unicorn Sparkle Sugar Snowflake

Sent compliments of L.A. Colors!

From the Unicorn Sparkle Collection, Sugar Snowflake is another sheer white base with an iridescent shimmer. You could call it a milky sheer with a glow.

Compared to Glitter Pill To Swallow above, the glitter in Sugar Snowflake is much smaller and it’s got a sheerer finish. The iridescence is purple, blue and silver, so it’s a cool toned shimmer.

Shown in 3 coats, Sugar Snowflake is an ethereal, delicate shimmer.

Revlon Pure Pearl swatch

Revlon Super Lustrous Pure Pearl

Shown in 2 coats, Pure Pearl is a classic white pearl with medium coverage. For full coverage, wear it in 3 coats.

Like many pearls, it will show imperfections like brush strokes and lines from nail buffing, so if you want to minimize these effects, apply this shade with a smoothing base coat and paint in thin coats, using long, uninterrupted strokes.

Revlon Irresistible swatch

Revlon Super Lustrous Irresistible

Shown in 2 coats, Irresistible is a creamy light blue with a slight periwinkle undertone. You could call this a sky or baby blue, but no matter what you call it, it’s a cheerful blue.

I love the brush on the Super Lustrous polishes. It’s wide, flat and fans easily, allowing you to flatten it on the nail, spreading it out so you can get your entire nail in one swish.

Huella Beauty Love, Genevieve swatch

Huella Beauty Love, Genevieve

Shown in 3 coats, I partially got this nail color for the name. I also got it because it’s a teal pearl, which is one of my favorite colors and finishes.
