Last night at the Super Bowl XLII, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks walked out onto the Arizona field to sing a very smooth and soulful "Star-Spangled Banner." For the most part I thought she looked great with her center part and loose waves, her iridescent pinky/purple eye shadow, and her understated black dress. But her silvery white and black-tipped manicure was questionable. What did you think of it?

Sorry, not a big fan of the color on the tips of the nails thing. It looks untidy to me.
She looks flawless, other than that.
1I'm on the fence about her nails, but I LOVE her dress!
2She looked good and her performance was well done!
3Why does her hand look ginormous? Hate the nails--looks like she has dirt under them.
4I love it!!!
5It's SO much better then the gothy all black nail!
I noticed those nails right away yesterday. Tacky!!!! Other than that, she was stunning and her singing was perfection.
6I like it
7I love the nails, very different. It is such a winter thing.
8I think it looks scary...borderline trashy.
9I thought it was great - it was playful and age-appropriate for her. And I think I would wear it for an event that called for a bit of sass to an outfit, though it's definitely not a daytime look (even though I could pull it off in my very casual advertising agency office).
10I'm usually not a big fan of this look, but it's very hip and young, quite appropriate for a teenage pop queen.
11I think it looks cheap. However, she looks lovely despite it.
12I like it on her, but I wouldn't wear it.
13I have seen this look amazingly cool in other places, but it looks... I don't know, *gimicky* here.
14while i am not a fan of the nails, i think she looked flawless!
15Love them!
16I think it looks great
17I did something like that over the summer with hot pink tips with silver glitter. It got attention, that's for sure!
18I used to do that in high school, but with silver.
19Oh and my nails were not as long.
20I've been doing the color-tip nail thing for years....it's cool. It's definitely NOT boring.
she's 18, not 60-somethin. Let her have fun.
21Not loving the nails. Everything else, though, about Jordin was great.
22eh, I think the color tip/sparkly thing is kind of tacky.
23I used to do this in high school!
24Tacky. They look all chipped too! Did she do them herself? Meh...
25She looked good, her nails did catch my eye last night. Maybe for girls her age, but not for me.
26I love her nails! She is around my age and that is totally something I would do!
27In fact, I will have a picture of my nails on my profile...
28I love her nails...unique.
29They are classy. They are black tie. Much less tacky than thick white tips.
30I think it's funky.
31Not a fan.
32Its okay. I wouldnt do that cause I like more natural but it seems fun.
33I'm not a fan of it but at her age, she can get away with something not so traditional & and she looks cute!
34i like her nails, i don't see how it's trashy at all
35the black isn't that bad, it's the fakeys that make it tacky.
36I love it..
37geh-toe.
38Ive seen it before ... not something I would ever get but too each is own
39Sophia you said it girl
40Dislike. It looks very odd.
41Not a fan. It just looks odd to me.
42doesn't look too bad. if the tips were longer, it would look HORRIFIC. i don't get why this girl always looks 30 going on 50. considering her age, it's frightening. she doesn't have that fresh-faced look.
43I hate this. I've seen this on others and from a distance it looks like they've chipped off their polish.
44Personally I find it tacky and borderline trashy. It looks like she has dirt under her nails. I've never been a fan of colored tips, or tips with glitter. I say if you want to be creative, do it on your toes. I thought the whole black nail polish was finally over? It would have looked better solid black than just the tips.
Granted, she is 18, so most people will give her a pass on it. The last time I did anything wild with my nails was when I was 15, now I look back at pictures and wonder what I was thinking!
What's wrong with a french manicure? It always looks neat and classy, and it never clashes. Provided it's done properly, not too long or thick, or has those weird indented ends.
45I forgot to add that her eye makeup is beautiful, whoever did that did an amazing job.
46nope..looks like they're dirty or something..
47I am a french manicure lover especially with very bright white tips
ehhh...
48Love them... Plus her dress was conservative so with the edgy nails.. the look totally worked!
49I love her nails. If she were a decade or so older I would say they're ghetto or trashy but hey, she's still a teenager. When I was her age I thought a regular french manicure was for either a conservative event or for older women lol. She wore a great dress and looked fantastic so a little funk in her look kept her looking age appropriate, at least IMHO.
