I wasn't keen on polka-dot nails—until I came across this sophisticated design.

      It's well known that I’m not particularly enthusiastic about nail art. I often write about minimalist nail trends, such as milky manicures and white French tips, which are the styles I prefer. It's not that I don’t appreciate the beauty of nail art; I often admire others' creative manicures. However, when I try to do it myself, it doesn’t feel right. Nevertheless, as a beauty editor, I strive to keep up with the latest trends, and in recent weeks, I've been researching popular nail art styles for the autumn season. One trend that keeps catching my eye is polka-dot nails. In my view, this is an adorable manicure choice for the fall and winter months. There are numerous designs available, ranging from monochrome to vibrant colors. Many of my friends have recently experimented with this nail art, which has definitely intrigued me. During my research, I discovered a sophisticated way to wear this trend that has persuaded me to give it a try. I’ve seen top nail artists merge polka-dot designs with classic French tips, and the result is undeniably chic.

      Don’t believe me? Below, I’ve compiled some of my favorite polka-dot French manicure inspirations that had me forgetting my usual nude polishes in no time...
