For the Aussies and Brits - a tailgate is a party thrown at a sporting event before the game, usually in the parking lot. I remember the confusion over the term from this old post of mine;<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tailgate-food" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....lgate-food</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-200111 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:32:56 +0000 Cookie 200111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and think it would be perfect for a party! The purple and gold is my favorite. I could also see wearing this to a tailgate for football with either green and white or navy and gold. The more I consider this the more excited I am about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-200109 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:28:05 +0000 Mac 200109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fun to look at in the photo but in real life I can't imagine it looking very good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-200067 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:59:38 +0000 FiestyWife 200067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the purple and gold and will probably get that manicure for a ball or wedding (I have several coming up). I may try some different color combos though. This isn't something I would wear everyday and if I did it would need to be my major statement. Simple jewlery a must. I also like the manicures with color on just the tip. I've had this with really short nails &amp; liked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-200066 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:55:53 +0000 yublocka 200066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red and fuschia combo! Although I would never try it because my nails are never ever long enough, plus I'd ruin it within 2 seconds and I'm not allowed to wear nail polish for work anyway.</p> <p>Having said that I'm planning on getting a way overdue pedi tomorrow. Can't wait!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-200052 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:06:22 +0000 shana 200052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems to become popular every now and then. It's not for me at all and I put it in the same category as any sort of wildly decorated nail. But of course, I rarely sport painted nails anymore - too much upkeep at this moment in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199986 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:20:37 +0000 Debora 199986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like this is already trending in some places. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of this look on teens and young women this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199968 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:57:49 +0000 Isabel 199968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the red and fuschia. I think the others are too stark. Young women here have been doing this for a couple of years...but I have never seen these combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199934 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:11:26 +0000 Sihaya 199934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fun but I can't imagine ever wearing it. I think for me if I wore it, I'd fall into the "she's trying too hard to be trendy" category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199884 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:30:40 +0000 Angie 199884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote nay. Just don't fancy the look at all. It's like wearing too much make-up :0( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199825 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 01:10:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 199825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh here they do the nude color on the nail bed, and a real color on the tips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199792 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:33:36 +0000 Debora 199792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for weighing in! It looks like the feedback is mostly positive for this look and the color combinations. </p> <p>bj1111 - thanks for the link! I hadn't heard of reverse manicures.</p> <p>Julie - I think you are on to something! Why buy one bottle when you can buy two!</p> <p>Boof and Anna - I very rarely get manicures for the same reason. I am just too tough on my nails and they never last more than a day or two.</p> <p>Khris - I've only seen this type of manicure once before. The manicurist at the salon where I go had her toe nails painted with Essie's Watermelon and the tips painted green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199789 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:15:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 199789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here, it's really common to see a French Manicure with the tips being a color- is that in style anywhere else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199786 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:11:07 +0000 bella 199786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but it looks very hard to do without the help of a professional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199728 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 22:24:12 +0000 annagybe 199728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple and gold. But I work in healthcare so a manicure on me is short lived due to lots of handwashing.<br /> I tried to get a halfmoon one once at the beauty school, she totally failed and admitted to me that she was just bad at manicures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199707 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 22:05:52 +0000 medusa 199707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, love it. If I painted my nails I would do that. I like all of the color combinations, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199678 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:41:59 +0000 lynne 199678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trendy and fun. I think it would look great on short nails. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199677 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:39:51 +0000 Dawn 199677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it but I never grow my nails long enough for these types of manicures. As for the half-moon manicures, I adore them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199675 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:36:58 +0000 Vani 199675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, love the purple gold combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199673 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:25:11 +0000 Boof 199673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a fun look, but not really my thing. I paint toes but almost never my fingernails. With kids and pets, a manicure lasts less than 24 hours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199659 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:37:23 +0000 Louise 199659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been doing a pale purple/ dark purple combo for ages never thought of different colours but i love it x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199652 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:31:19 +0000 AJ 199652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely trendy but I like it! Fun to do as a transition from summer to fall. I like the navy nail with the turquoise tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199596 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:15:02 +0000 Steph 199596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like this look, but think your nails would have to be really well-shaped for it to look good in real life. I personally don't really like regular French manicures, so I'm surprised that I like this. I think maybe I don't like regular French because I feel like it's trying to look like your natural nail, but since it isn't, it seems silly to me. In this case, it's clear you're not trying to fool anyone that these are your regular nails. I also really love all three of the color combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colorful-french-manicures-for-fall-yay-or-nay#post-199591 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:07:38 +0000 RoseandJoan 199591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, a cunning ploy to help you buy two bottles of polish when you only need one;0)</p> <p>It's not something I would attempt to do myself but in the hands of a professional it could look good.
