Nails: Hosts

chanceandholly — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 19:17:17 GMT

If your a host and showing jewelry your nails should look at least (good). I'm seeing dirty looking, cracked, peeling, growing out nails. I turn the channel when I see this. Q should at least make the hosts look neat.

I also think the female hosts should wear a neutral nail color when presenting jewelry. I find garish pinks, etc., to be very distracting. I've watched a couple of jewelry shows on HSN and the hosts never have a color other than a neutral on their nails when presenting jewelry. It looks so much nicer.

When Antonella shows jewelry, I find I sit and watch her garish fingernails and don't even know what she's showing. I remember when they required the hosts to wear neutral nail polish.

Y'all do get bent out of shape at the most trivial things. I've never been ""distracted"" by colored nail polish during a jewelry presentation. I don't even notice the hosts' nails.

It does cause you to wonder, when people who are supposed to be style mavens have nails like shovels or badly need filling. Nancy Hornbeck has the nicest and prettiest hands. Always well manicured and yes, in a pale neutral shade.

I don't ever remember seeing unkempt nails on any shopping channel. I do think Antonella should wear darker colors and not the pink she sometimes wears but her nails are always nice.

I would much rather see the colors of nail polish than the squared off paper white tipped nails some of the women wear. A rounded nail with off white tips look so much nicer and more natural.

I do think that everyone, men and women should have clean manicured nails if they are going to be presenting anything that shows close ups of their hands.

Susan Graver always has lovely, well-manicured nails with neutral shades of polish. Their almond, beige, pale pinks on shorter nails look beautiful showing. I think long nails ala LR, Antonella are not very pretty. Long faux, claw nails just look 80's and don't look clean and fresh.

Funny this should come up. Last night I was watching HSN and the host who was showing jewelry was wearing puce colored nail polish. It was horrendous and very distracting from the jewelry. It's the first time I really noticed polish other than to think ""that's pretty.""

I have not noticed Antonella's nails being overly long, just the Pink that is to light for her skin tone. I have never even looked at LR's nails, I can't get see any further than the makeup and fake tan.

Perhaps you should have a little more tolerance of others thoughts and not be so petty,petty,petty.

Black nail polish makes the fingers look infected .... it's really gross.

I like seeing the different nail colors the Hosts wear and how they shape their nails...the only Host that wears ugly polish is Jill....she has some kind of gray/black/not sure what color it is...but I find it ugly...

My gripe is with the male Hosts that do not get a manicure before showing jewelry...they have all raggety looking cuticles...nails are all chipped and nasty looking...(aka Rick, mostly)though he has been getting better...Come on guys...we notice your hands, too.....

I think Jill has nice nails. They look natural. Sometimes she wears a brownish/greyish color which I don't like, but usually it's a pretty sheer pink. I'd rather see short, well kept nails like Jill's rather than fake ones like Lisa's, Shawn's, Mary Beth's, Carolyn's and a few others. I think that if they are going to be on air where their nails are visible, they should always have their nails looking nice. I don't care for Mary Beth's fake nails, but they never look like they need to be filled in, unlike Lisa. I saw Linda Davies on there the other day and there were several close ups of her nails and they were terrible. Way overdue to be done! I remember Kathy Levine used to talk about how they had to have nice nails and she never went on the air like some do now.

Well, I don't let these things bother me, but since we are on the subject...

Lisa's nails look dated to me. Antonella's don't bother me, I think its just her personal style.

Mally's shovels are not very attractive to me and I don't like French manicured fake nails, again, dated.

Mostly dark brown/black/gray nails tend to look like fungus to me...especially on toes! yuck.

I have seen a host with really raggedy fingers with peeling skin all over. On top of that there has been an injury on one nail that was never covered up with a nail polish of some kind, a big red spot. Nasty. I would say who the host was but I will get poofed.

I don't mind color on the nails but if you are doing jewelry and there will be close ups of your hands, at least have them properly manicured. Lisa does wear a pretty (in my opinion) shade of "clear" pink but her nails are always in desperate need of a fill. Antonella's are also grown out at at times appear to be dirty.

Seriously? I wonder how many of these types of threads would exist if this community wasn't anonymous. I don't find this type of thing on QVC Facebook pages.
