French-Tip Nails Look So Expensive—6 Stylish Ways to Wear Them This Autumn

As a beauty editor, I already know that an autumn French manicure is going to be one of the biggest nail trends of the season. This classic nail design was everywhere in summer, but I'm already seeing lots of nail artists transition the look into the colder months.

Whether it's swapping out your usual white nail polish for a deep red or burgundy shade, or opting for some trending autumn nail art on top of your French tip, there are lots of ways to get your manicure September-ready.

Below, I've rounded up six autumn French manicure trends that I believe will be huge this season. I study nail trends for a living, so I know a thing or two about predicting new manicure looks, and trust me when I say that all the signs point to these six designs being big news in the upcoming weeks. Now, time to decide which one to go for at my next nail appointment...

6 Autumn French Manicure Trends to Try Now

1. Blurred French Manicure

First up is the ultra chic blurred French mani. If you favour subtle, pared-back nails for autumn, then this is the trend for you. As the name suggests, this look involves a soft, blended white French tip that enhances your natural nail and makes your manicure look so polished.

2. Polka-Dot French Tips

Polka-dot nails were big news at the end of summer, but this autumn, it seems that a polka dot French tip is the chosen way to wear this trend. I'm not usually a fan of nail art, but even I can't deny how fun yet chic this is.
