    How could I say when someone has got a an expression in his eyes similar to the ice?

    maybe a glassy eyes? or an icy eyes?

    "Eyes like [or o]f ice". 'Icy' is not used like that, and 'glassy' means something else: a 'glassy stare' is one that sees through the object without focusing on it. (You can also use 'cold' to refer to a stare. Come to think of it, a stare can be icy - but not eyes.)
