The perfect fall Frenchies
Feeling the pull of autumn? With the leaves falling, the weather dipping and cosy nights in more plentiful than ever, we’re certainly feeling it. Match your manicure to the fall vibes with these seasonally apt ideas for French tips.
What Is A French Manicure?
Arguably the most popular nail design in the world, you should already be familiar with a French manicure. Consisting of a clean, neutral base coat (think nude or soft pink) with crisp white tips, a French manicure is the blueprint for elevated, natural-looking nails.
The timelessness of the manicure has made it a consistent staple in nail salons for decades – having first been introduced in the 1970s. And now, with over 76 million posts tagged under #frenchtipsnails on TikTok, it’s caught the attention (and the hearts) of a new generation of fans.

But while a classic mani never goes out of style, you’ll catch more and more people adapting the look to their personal style, events and occasions, holidays and even season. And this fall, you’ll find plenty of ideas and inspiration for a seasonally apt French manicure.
How Can It Be Adapted For Autumn?
A fall French manicure takes the core tenets of the original classic – a base colour and contrasting tips – and gives them a seasonal twist. The easiest way to do this is by changing up the colour palette to include shades like maroon, chocolate and pumpkin spice.
But, if you want a more modern take, you can also change the placement – think side, reverse and half Frenchies – combine glossy and matte textures, add some nail art or even go fully abstract with shapes and lines.
