Cute icon given makeover failed to impress (3,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
cut no ice
'failed to impress' is the definition.
(to cut no ice is to fail to impress someone)
'cute icon given makeover' is the wordplay.
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'makeover' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'cute'+'icon'='cuteicon'
'cuteicon' anagrammed gives 'CUT NO ICE'.
(Other definitions for cut no ice that I've seen before include "Fail to impress" , "Fail to split frozen water and count or nothing" , "Be ineffective" , "Fail to have an effect" , "Roller skates will" .)
