A French manicure is basically the white tee of nail art: it keeps coming back because the structure works. For fall, the easiest update is not adding ten decorations. It is replacing bright white with one rich seasonal color, changing the direction of the tip or adding a fine metallic line.

These fall French tip nails cover short, square, almond and longer shapes. Screenshot the designs that match your actual nail length so the final manicure looks like the reference you loved.
