Icon13 Not trying to sound like a...

jerk, but.

If you’re gonna set up a camera and lighting and do a video watch review, wear cotton jewelry or painters gloves.

I hate seeing a video by someone who’s totally passionate and excited but their nails and hands look so horrible, you can’t help but stare. I don’t believe I’m the only one here that has noticed this.

Nothing against nail biters, working mans or woman’s hands, I’m one of them — but gloves. If you’re doing a closeup video — Gloves. Gloves. Gloves.

That’s my rant.

I’m a nail biter. Not sure why...I also peel the skin on the left and right of my nails until they bleed at times. Maybe I need a shrink...

Haha I know exactly who you’re talking about too! Can’t help but to stare and conjure up negative thoughts.

Can’t disagree! It’s the details that show care. I’ve been guilty of this looking at one or two close ups of me holding a watch.

You are a nail biting, working man with woman’s hands?

Me too. Looks ugly but it's practical and no one will ever see me on a manicure.

I used to bite my nails when I was a kid ... then I learned about all the disgusting germs that live under them. No more

I used to make pocket knife videos and you can't imagine the number of makers or similar videos who had long, dirty fingernails. Grossed me out.

I was a nail biter until I started working in veterinary hospitals. WAY too much nastiness to be putting in my mouth.
