Yes, the Gulfstream G-150 has a very unique wing and doesn't readily pick up ice, however, in order to obtain certification for known icing, the company was required to put boots on the wings. They paint them silver to look like it doesn't have boots.

Some aircraft don't require any form of anti-ice on the tail, like the Dassault Falcon 20. The design and angle of the tail make it unlikely it will pick up any significant amount of ice.
