    Traditional Frenchies have a refined and polished look, but if that’s not your vibe, you can always spice up the design with some edgy elements. Opting for jet-black tips instead of crisp white does the trick, while tiny silver pearls add a cool-girl feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    November is the prime time to embrace pretty pumpkin colors. A solid-colored manicure never fails to deliver PSL vibes, but if you want to spice up your look (pun intended), a pumpkin Frenchie and tortoiseshell accent nail is the perfect choice. For infinite shine, try using a long-lasting gel topcoat.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    A negative space design is never a bad idea. In this manicure, bold blue polishes join sharp black lines and crisp white stripes in a cool freehand design. Adding French tips, whether solid or printed, only increases the contemporary feel of the look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    A true Frenchie fan knows that getting creative is the best way to upgrade the design. This look embraces that notion fully and uses a cross-hatch base and gold tips to create a truly unique French manicure. For an edgier approach, paint your pinky jet black. The contrast will be the cherry on top of your cool design.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Latte nails are in full effect this November, and this creamy French manicure proves it. The nude base and caf\u00e9-colored tips have a delectable feel, but the real star is the cream: A single strip of milky polish borders the base of the tip and mimics the drink’s signature frothy rim.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Speaking of caf\u00e9 colors, this espresso and chocolate manicure takes the (coffee) cake. It’s deliciously dark and features some of the season’s best mocha shades. Hues aside, the heart design is just as captivating. Opt for two accent nails instead of one: The consecutive designs will draw the eye in and bring you loads of compliments.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Forest hues are a given come fall. This French manicure feels fresh and lighthearted thanks to the earthy, emerald, and grassy shades. The simple, monochromatic gradient completely elevates the classic design, and rhinestones and gold stars add a sparkly finishing touch.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Brown nail polishes hit differently in November. Instead of earthy, they deliver a warm, toasty feeling fitting for the cozy time of year. They also have a spectrum of shades perfect for creating gradient French manicures. Take a cue from this almond nail look and use them on the tips for a dipped look that ranges from mocha to caramel and apple spice.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    If manicures are like mini works of art, why not take inspiration from storied painters like Van Gogh? With this moody French, you can create a stylish take on his famous painting in no time. Even better? All you need is a deep midnight blue polish and some well-placed golden stars to give your manicure the artistic touch.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
