We'll never tire of a brown French tip, especially where these 7 chic looks are concerned

On the left is a picture of a hand with ombre brown French tip nails, and on the right, a picture of a hand with almond-shaped, dark brown French tip nails, both created by nail artist, Fliss Alton/@gelsbyfliss/ featured in a white and grey marble-look template with a brown nail polish spill and a product shot of essie's Odd Squad nail polish.

Akin to a chic suede jacket and spiced coffee, brown French tip nails are a true autumn staple. They go with everything, whether you opt for a soft, taupe brown or a rich chocolate, and thanks to the rise in demand for short nails, the possibilities are almost endless.

French tip nails are arguably the most timeless of manicure designs, and so, have unsurprisingly been a constant on the list of 2025 nail trends - throughout the seasons. It's in autumn, though, when the look really hits its peak. Autumn French nails allow you to mark the season and its rich and moody colour palette more subtly, not to mention the fact that they work with just about every nail shape. So far, we've seen burgundy French tips surge in popularity, along with polka dot nails, but in our opinion, nothing tops a creamy mocha tip or warm chestnut brown.
