It’s no secret that French-tip nails are back in fashion, and in my opinion, this manicure is better than ever. From micro French tips to colourful designs, there are so many fun ways to wear the popular trend. However, as we go into autumn, it seems that brown French tip nails are going to dominate.
That’s right, everyone in London to Paris will be asking for chocolatey brown French tips, and I’m not mad about it. In fact, I’m kind of obsessed. Not only will this manicure go with all of the autumnal tones in my wardrobe, but I think it’s such an elevated way of wearing the French tip design for the colder months.
You don’t have to opt for a classic finish either. Lots of people are trying this trend out in their own way, from reverse French tips, micro French tips and even matte French tips! There are so many ways to wear the manicure, no matter what kind of nails you are into. Don’t believe me? I’ve rounded up some of my favourite brown French-tip nail designs for autumn and beyond, so keep on scrolling for all the proof you need that this really is the most elevated manicure of the season…
