Swirl, plaid and floral art sits close to the edge on French designs, so seal the tips with top coat every two or three days to stop the artwork wearing away, and keep cuticle oil in your routine — warm autumn shades look richer against hydrated, healthy-looking skin.

From a single plaid accent to a full set of harvest blooms, these square French tips prove the classic manicure wears autumn beautifully. Choose your favourite, show it to your nail tech, and enjoy the cosiest season in style.
