I fell off my monthly manicure routine over the summer—I was going to the beach a lot and the sand and salt water went to work on my paws—but now that we’re firmly in the depths of my second favorite season, I’m eyeing several fall nail art ideas to bring with me to the salon. At the top of my list is a perfect fall French tip nail in various rich, warm shades. Because while I love a classic French mani as much as the next beauty fan, I sometimes grow weary of the traditional cream and peach combination. Why not switch things up with a few autumnal nail colors?
Sure, any nail polish can work for any season, but I’m partial to moody, luxe deep hues, jewel tones, and taking inspiration from the changing foliage outside. I’m talking chocolate brown, silky burgundy, and burnt orange for an unexpected pop of color in place of the quintessential white tips. If you’re also looking to rock a fall French tip this season, keep scrolling for the nail polish shades I’m turning to for both an at-home manicure and my next BIAB appointment.
