Nails on hosts

foodie105 — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 02:47:37 GMT

All I can say is I appreciate a more natural nail, just short and nicely polished that some hosts still have. I guess I'm not up on what is happening with fake nails now....but really can't watch a presentation when the nails walk in the room before anything else and scream nothing but ugly. There are several hosts now that look silly with these ugly nails. One half of the nail one way and the other half with sequins? Or long sharp pointy daggers. Who can do anything with those on?? Do people really think they look good? We see their hands more than them so please make it stop. Yes I change the channel....all the time.

I like short, plain nails best, too, but it doesn't bother me when other people choose to have long, fake, crazy nails, either. "To each their own" is my perspective.

Agree, one of the hosts has those pointy claws, and I think they are horrid! I can't stand looking at them... So I don't! 🤣

You know who I think has the most professional manicures? Sarah Anderson show host on HSN.

I strongly dislike that too. It's like those particular hosts are trying to be the focal point. The item they're selling should be the main point of interest, not some crazy, swirly, abstract mess on the hands of a host.

I really think someone managing at QVC thinks they will attract younger viewers if they do what they think are hip cool trendy things like the super pointed nails.

I'm sure they will never read these complaints or suggestions which is sad because they are valid to many.

If it is a makeup or nail show or just real life out and about, rock the nails you want but yeah when presenting something if all we can look at are the nails, you lost a lot of people I imagine QVC!

No watching no buying for a lot of people who watch a shopping channel. Isn't that what a shopping tv channel is all about and different from every other online company?! But they won't get it.

It must be some old guys thinking they are creating a hip new QVC-the stupid mickey mouse glasses, beanie hats, facebook, talking as fast as possible, fake excitment. It gets ridiculous. Even the hosts I know I used to love watching and yes buying from at reasonable prices and customer friendly shipping, are screaming.

What is astounding is that despite so many similar opinions about this, someone at the powers that be, continue to think this is what is going to sell.

It just seems like a tidal wave no one can stop. They just don't listen.

These forums to many were/are actual talking to each other, sharing life experiences. To others it is their own personal (in their mind) blog or something. I don't know. It has changed so much. Things will always change but wouldn't you like to meet at their next round table business meeting on how things should be presented at QVC?!

People are different everywhere. I guess that's what makes the world go round.

What do I know but as so many here post "jmho"🙄

@on the bay

Yes to all you said.

Many years back, I watched a lot of QVC and shopped quite a bit. I was working then, so my viewing time was limited, and there was no Website.

Years passed, and I found myself more annoyed than relaxed. When the voices, host antics and presentations start getting on your nerves, it's not a good sign.

I stopped watching other than a few minutes now and again, and I can't remember the last time I bought anything.

The last time I used my Q card it was at Zulily.

So many posts over something so trivial. If you dont watch as many say then whats the problem?

These women are professionals. I find the super busy nails that are painted several colors with sparkles decals and very long to be distracting.

I don't care how others keep their nails, wear their hair, wear their makeup, what clothes/shoes they wear. It's a shopping channel so all I care about are product details and quality.

Well said and so true. I also wonder how hygenic these dragon nails can be. There are a few hosts that have really nice manicures. I think for some hosts their time in front of the TV monitor becomes "it's all about me" time instead of the product presentation.

Much as I like Colleen on HSN, yesterday she had very long, very red nails. It was a beautiful manicure, but that's all I could notice while watching her during a jewelry show. She was presenting Herkimer diamonds. I feel that shorter nails in a more neutral work best for jewelry shows. JMHO.

@foodie105

If that is what YOU like, then that is how YOU should wear your nails.

I don't dictate to others what hair or nail style THEY should like, nor what size or style of clothing they should weear.

Maybe they think WE look silly with our nails.

We see their nails more than them? Seriously????? Ridiculous statement.

Please make them stop? Good grief.

If you let a host's manicure 'distract' you so badly, you weren't really interested in the item in the first place.

I just think they should be clean, and cuticles nice. Dirty nails,
Uh, no.

@Krimpette I know I watched her show yeterday too! I thought her nails were a bit bright, usually she does a pretty french manicure. She is leaving this week for the Tucson Gem Event though, I figured that's why the red hot polish! I do enjoy her shows very much.

Nails, hair and clothing are a personal choice and preference. The female hosts are not "Stepford" hosts. They are free to do as they please, just like all of us.
