Snowflakes ~~ I could have gotten more intricate with them, but desiging something I can do with my left hand is a bit hard to do, So I thought I would keep it simple.
What you need is your trusty white, and a solid blue that covers well, a toothpick, and top coat.
For my blue I am using "Sally Hansen Chrome" I love the chrome paints by far the best coverage I have ever seen, but it does tend to wear off easily so I thought I would try a top coat to see if it holds up any better.
Get your base coat on and make certain this is super dry. Apply a drop of white polish in the center of your nail. Getting the right amount of paint might take some practice, you want it to "mound" but not be too much, if you run out before you are done you can always go back and add more, but you can't take it away if there is too much. I hope you can see over the shine of the chrome polish...
Now hold your toothpick nearly strait up and down (not at an angle) and starting at the center of your drop, drag the polish out to the side of your nail. repeat until you have a star or snowflake pattern.
you can make 6 or 8 points I have 6 on the first finger in this shot and I am putting the 8th on this finger 8 has a bit of a look like a spider though, it all depends on the angle you make your stripes.
Here they are all done, I think they are really pretty. Don't forget your top coat of clear to keep them from chipping!
