Properly, a whole lot of followers need you to affix The Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis. Have there been any conversations about that?
It’s high of thoughts for lots of people at Bravo proper now what to do with me. I’ll depart it at that.

He has a job in finance. We’ve at all times had this factor with New York actuality TV exhibits. A number of guys in finance signal these non-publicity clauses of their contracts that forestall them from having the ability to do press and TV exhibits.
Would you wish to movie with him?
That is an attention-grabbing, distinctive dynamic I’ve by no means skilled earlier than. I’ve dabbled within the actuality TV man world. It has not gone over nicely.

Engagement and marriage are completely even additional down the record at this level. Now we have a brand new child. There’s a whole lot of studying, newness, and changes. I’m postpartum, and my hormones are shifting. My physique is altering. I’m making an attempt to get used to being a mother, before everything, greater than the rest.
So it’s secure to say you’re not considering of child quantity two.
Give me slightly bit. I reside in New York Metropolis, and it’s very costly right here. Additionally I’m nonetheless simply having fun with my child proper now. It’s been lower than two months.

Lengthy distance solely works for thus lengthy, however then selections should be made. I actually really feel unhealthy for anybody who has to undergo a public breakup. Irrespective of who was proper or fallacious within the scenario, it’s a troublesome time. Breakups are arduous, irrespective of which means you slice it, however to do it publicly is much more troublesome. Clearly, there’s been a whole lot of info that has come out and rumors swirling round, however I’ve recognized Paige for thus lengthy, and I really feel like she is shifting ahead in the best way that works finest for her, as she ought to.
It’s high of thoughts for lots of people at Bravo proper now what to do with me.
What was your response to Craig’s Southern Appeal costar, Austen Kroll, seemingly claiming Paige already has a brand new boyfriend on Watch What Occurs Stay?
We filmed all summer time. Then this lady launched straight into her podcast tour for 4 months from September via December. She was gone each single week. She doesn’t have time. She’s already struggling making time for her present boyfriend. She doesn’t have time to then go have one other boyfriend. I don’t imagine any of that. I don’t know what Austen mentioned precisely, however Austen tends to place his foot in his mouth, and I do know that from private expertise. And he had an viewers in entrance of him whereas he did it.
You lately gave an interview the place you mentioned a rumor that Dorinda Medley from The Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis leaked your being pregnant. Have you ever and Dorinda talked in any respect since that interview got here out?
Somebody requested me if they might give my telephone quantity to Dorinda. This was again within the summertime. I mentioned, “Sure, completely. If Dorinda is asking for my quantity, give it to her.” After which she by no means known as. I simply don’t know why she was speaking about me a lot. There have been all these rumors about Traitors, and I’m not going to touch upon in the event that they had been true or not, however her title was wrapped up in these rumors.

Ciara has a very good technique. She’s a sneaky good participant that nobody suspects.

I received’t let you know how I do know these issues, however it’s troublesome. There’s a whole lot of isolation and nil communication. That does show to be troublesome with a new child.
Would you be a traitor or a devoted?
I’ve a tough time mendacity. The one time I’ve ever been good at mendacity in my life was hiding my being pregnant. However some other time, I put on my emotion on my face, so if I’m mendacity, I’ll simply wind up slipping up if I’m a traitor.

As a result of I like to carry on to the sun-drenched look for so long as I can, I depend on my favourite SHEGLAM contour and bronzing merchandise, which are available a wide range of new and much-loved shades.

I do know I did a show put up only recently, however I’ve seen a number of extra issues since then, and I am about to go on a month lengthy hiatus so needed to get them posted earlier than that. Thus the uncommon Saturday put up, as I have been operating round preparing for the journey and solely in a position to sit and work on this as we speak.
I went again to these Ardell faux nails that I shared from Fred Meyer final show put up, as I made a decision I needed to attempt a number of of the units and noticed one set that should have been hiding final time, a Flash & Sparkle set with gold reflective glitter.
Ulta had a Maybelline and Essie show nowhere close to the place the remainder of the Essie was. This had the 4 new Expressie FX topcoats: Iced Out, Immaterial Frost, Fake Actual, and Ethereal Glow. Given I’ve but to make use of any of the primary set of FX topcoats I acquired, I handed on these, however I do not understand how lengthy I am going to keep sturdy.
Ulta had an endcap show of Glamnetic faux nails. This had three sections: Bestsellers on High (Favorites for Each Event), Restricted Version within the center (Development-Setting, Viral-Worthy Manis), and Customizable on the underside (Create Your Good Size and Form. The underside part was essentially the most attention-grabbing, because it had a really elaborate nail clipper promising an ideal minimize each time. It is acquired a dial with totally different nail shapes and lengths. I have been chopping and shaping mine by eye, and I believe they give the impression of being okay so I am going to simply hold doing that. I used to be confused by the nails on this part as most had designs that would not work so properly if the ends of the guidelines have been minimize off.
I noticed a Kiss show with a Marilyn Monroe themed assortment of pretend nails. I do not know a lot about nail traits within the Fifties however these did look like traditional colours and types.
Fred Meyer had a comparatively untouched show of OPI Nature Sturdy. This mentioned “Even Extra Flowerful” and “New botancial base coat, shades, and glitters” on it, however I have not paid hardly any consideration to this line because it was first launched so unsure how new any of that is. I ought to do some extra analysis on the glitters a minimum of, to see if they are surely higher for the setting that those in conventional polish. Entrance row, left to proper: Botanical Base Coat, Large Bluetiful Planet, Eco For It, Thoughts-full of Glitter, Glowing Locations.High row: Pure Origin High Coat, Sort of a Twig Deal, A Kick within the Bud, Bee the Change, Leaf By Instance.
A Walgreens had some Sally Hansen polishes lined up on a shelf subsequent to the sweetness part money register. I virtually walked on by as a result of they weren’t in a show and seemed like shades I would seen earlier than, however I figured I used to be there and never in that large a rush so stopped and located one of many new Miracle Gel toppers, Moonlit High Coat. That is the flaky one just like Essie Shine of the Instances. The one signal of the opposite new one, Glazed, was the worth tag caught to the shelf. That one can also be a flaky however iridescent somewhat than shifty (as I perceive primarily based on my 5 minutes of web analysis). I believe these are speculated to be a part of the core line, however there weren’t slots for them within the core show space after I went to look.
The Ceremony Help across the nook from the Walgreens (properly, across the nook and down one very lengthy block) had the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s Nail Get together show. Along with the highest and base coats and few core colours within the again row, this had eight vivid shades: Did I Blue That, Nostalchick, Frosted Ideas, Good Good Child, Toadally Buggin’, Mixtape, Be Brilliant Again, and Meet Me on the Mall. Should you’ll excuse me, I will dry up into mud and blow away now, because the 90s being retro and nostalgic now makes me really feel historic.
I used to be very unhappy to see that the show at Ulta for the Sally Hansen Sesame Avenue assortment was almost empty by the point I noticed it. Luckily (I assume?) the slots have been labeled so I may get an thought of what I used to be lacking. 9 shades on this assortment: Elmo Loves Hue, Good Friendship, As much as Snuff, Assume Large, Scram, Turquesa Brilliante, C is for Colour, Am I Not Adora-blue, and 1 Polish Ah Ah Ah. The Clearly Fast was there, too. The final slot on the proper seems to have been for faux nail units, which I surmise solely becacuse there was a photograph of them on a second show (see beneath). I seemed on-line and Ulta already has these colours on clearance and solely 4 have been left after I seemed, so I assume I will must miss out seeing the lacking ones in particular person.
The opposite Sesame Avenue show had units of 4 polishes subsequent to a photograph of these aforementioned faux nails.
I felt unhealthy that I hadn’t recorded (and even checked out) the names of the W7 polishes I shared in my earlier show put up, so I took the time to look after I was again at that retailer. I am reusing the earlier photograph, as on this go to the show was a bit worse for put on (cretins who take a look at polish on the shows want to remain residence till they will management themselves). Colours left to proper: Puerto Rico, Nicosia, Watermelon (fairly certain; my photograph is blurry), Pink About, White, Lake, Brazen Blue, Mintimalistic, St. Lucia, Sprung Lilac, Brazil, Hawaii.
That is all for now. See you in late August if all goes to plan.
Hi there hiya! I do know a number of individuals had been ready for this put up as Noodles Nail Polish often has at the least one summer season assortment. Not solely do I’ve the 7 to point out you tonight, however I am joyful to report that there might be one other one subsequent month! The gathering incorporates 6 glitter crellies and one glitter topper. The additional polish on this set is for Natalie’s eleventh anniversary! Congratulations to her for pursuing her ardour with a profitable enterprise for such a very long time! Particularly whereas being an elementary college instructor. This set might be obtainable beginning on Wednesday, July seventeenth at 5 PM EST on the Noodles Nail Polish web site for simply $10.50 every.
Do not forget, the Polish Pickup Rewind polish pre-order might be coinciding with the discharge and might be obtainable from 7/17-7/19. We could get to the swatches?
Greatest Strategies for Smoothing Out and Eradicating Glitter *up to date 1/30/24*
Noodles Nail Polish is all concerning the glitter, on a regular basis. Whereas all of us love the bling, it may be a ache to take away. Oh, and it may be identified to eat topcoat which leaves texture on the nail after it dries. If you’re particularly delicate to feeling your polish, be sure that your topcoat is a thick one, or apply a second coat of a thinner one.
As an alternative of making use of 2 coats of thick topcoat, a number of indie manufacturers have come out with a product that you simply use after your final coat of polish and earlier than your topcoat. These are usually thick and “fill in” the gaps left from the glitter. Listed below are a number of merchandise I exploit and suggest (in no specific order):
3. Criminally Clean Glitter Smoothing topcoat (dries with a matte end not like the others)
6. Clean and Shine Duo from Esmaltes da Kelly (obtainable by Polish Pickup some months)
To make use of these glitter grabbing topcoats, it is best to let the polish to dry for a number of minutes earlier than making use of. If you happen to apply the glitter grabber too shortly, the nail polish can eat up the glitter grabber somewhat, making the polish proceed to have somewhat texture, even after the addition of a quick-dry topcoat. Utilizing it this fashion requires somewhat extra persistence, however it’s completely value it.
I additionally use peel-off basecoats to make removing a breeze. I like to recommend UNT Prepared for Take Off, Hit the Bottle Keepin’ it Peel, or Black Dahlia Lacquer as all of them work effectively (I’m not affiliated with any website or model…I am simply sharing the love). The UNT works higher for my physique chemistry because the Hit the Bottle will typically pop off throughout the day. It looks like the UNT has been tougher to seek out currently, so there’s all the time the Holo Taco one if you actually need one. If you need your polish to final somewhat longer, I fully perceive. In that case, the foil methodology will work greatest for you whenever you’re prepared for a change. Clips like these are low cost and nice for conserving the cotton balls in place. I hope this helps, and be happy to e-mail me or go away a remark with any questions you will have.
Noodles Nail Polish 11 Years (3 coats)
And we’re beginning with the anniversary polish! I really like that Natalie makes a brand new commemorative polish for yearly. 11 Years is an orchid crelly base with pink/inexperienced/gold shade shifting flakes with gold holo and pink matte glitters. I actually love the flakes and gold glitter combo on this one. It utilized simply in 3 skinny coats, however you might be able to get away with 2 if you happen to use thicker coats or you may have quick nails. This beautiful a lot applies to the entire following polishes that I used with 3 coats. Please preserve this in thoughts for the remainder of the put up.
Noodles Nail Polish Cool Summer time (3 coats)
After I first noticed the identify of this one, I considered the tune Merciless Summer time by Bananarama after which acquired unhappy after I realized my mistake and that it’s certainly merciless and never cool summer season. I suppose you can even consider Cool for the Summer time by Demi Lovato as an alternative. Cool Summer time is one other favourite of the gathering, and it is a gentle lavender crelly base with blue/magenta/purple/neon pink/sapphire hexagonal glitters in varied sizes. I used 3 coats, however you may most likely get away with 2, however lighting makes my nail line extra seen, so I’m going with 3 simply to verify. I am particularly loving the pink/blue/purple combo on this one. I am unable to wait to put on this subsequent April!
Noodles Nail Polish Ocean Ave (3 coats)
You realize I really like blue. I would not thoughts if all water regarded this stunning. Ocean Ave is a semi-sheer gentle blue crelly base with matte white and blue holo hexagonal glitters in varied sizes. Since this one was a bit extra sheer, I used three coats once more. For this one, I like to recommend a glitter-smoothing topcoat due to the bigger glitter.
Noodles Nail Polish Sea La Vie (3 coats)
Sea La Vie is a little bit of a change-up for the gathering, and for that, it’s a prime choose for me. You will not discover any chunky glitter on this one. It is a medium cornflower blue crelly base with pink/gold/inexperienced shade shifting shimmer, holo silver flakes, and silver holo blue matte glitters. This one positively has a shift from the shimmers, however it was arduous to point out in pictures. Hopefully the bottle shot provides you a greater thought of what it appears to be like like at totally different angles. This one dries with somewhat texture, however not practically as a lot, so you’ll be able to possible get away with only a single layer of topcoat for that clean end.
1 coat Noodles Nail Polish Sunshine on My Thoughts over 2 coats Zoya Frankie
We acquired a glitter topper on this assortment! I hope you are not uninterested in glitter toppers…that is the one trace I will provide you with If you happen to’re keen on any of the Zoya Colours of the Month, this might be somewhat preview for the July Coloration, Frankie, which is impressed by watermelons. I used 1 skinny coat of Sunshine on My Thoughts over 2 coats of Zoya Frankie for the swatches. I feel you will notice seen nail line if you happen to used Sunshine on My Thoughts by itself, so I solely used it as a topper. It’s a clear-based topper with matte white and neon inexperienced/yellow/pink/purple/pink/orange circle glitter with a scattered holo glitter end. That is the proper topper for all your vivid summer season manicures!
There you may have it, people! It is one other assortment within the books. My prime picks must be Seaside Life, Sea La Vie, and Cool Summer time, however they’re all pleasant shades. I do know Natalie places a lot effort and time into making the most effective shade combos, and she or he all the time nails it. Only a reminder, these go on sale this Wednesday and never the standard Friday, so chances are you’ll wish to set an alarm for this one. And remember to choose up your bottle of It is Fricken Bats for the Polish Pickup Rewind as effectively (here is a photograph of that one).
*These polishes had been supplied by the corporate or PR consultant. All opinions are based mostly solely on my opinion. For extra data, please see my full disclosure on the backside of the location*
Sure, it has been a month since I final posted. I used to be overly optimistic about what I may get executed between my lengthy journey and the shorter one I bought again from earlier this week. However now I’ve managed to get by all of the show images I took on the lengthy journey. I did not doc the shade names for these as I used to be restricted within the time I may spend searching in shops. Talking of shops, I solely went to ones I got here throughout, so it was all Boots and Superdrug places in London, Birmingham, and Southampton.
I might by no means seen a Barry M show in particular person earlier than this one. It was largely crammed with Gelly shades, however there have been therapies within the higher left and decrease proper. The underside row had a couple of Hello Vis shades.
The identical retailer had somewhat part with six Gelly shades, a minimum of one in every of which was within the larger part proven above, so I am unsure what this was about … seasonal assortment of repromotes perhaps. I did word the shade names right here: All in One Basecoat Topcoat and Nail Hardener, Espresso, Chai Latte, Raspberry Ripple, Grape Soda, Pistachio, Pineapple Punch.
A Superdrug in Southampton had a wider choice of Barry M. This show had In a Flash fast dry colours on the left aspect, with Hello Viz neon colour on the highest proper, with Velvet matte shades, Gelly Rose Tinted assortment, and a few glitters beneath that in the appropriate hand aspect.
That very same Superdrug additionally had an enormous show with Gelly colours and prime/base/therapies. It was so huge I did not get all of it within the body of the photograph … ooops.
There have been six extra Gelly shades featured in that Superdrug in a separate show part. These weren’t the identical six as within the Boots in London, so unsure what is going on on there.
I admit I used to be sorely tempted by the Boots model faux nails, however resisted as I knew I had a number of units of different manufacturers at residence.
I might by no means heard of the Assortment model earlier than, and solely bumped into one show for it. The highest two rows had been Highlight Shine colours and the underside two had been Gel Impact.
Just like the Boots faux nails, I used to be additionally tempted by the Elegant Contact ones, as I am unable to get that model at residence, however once more, though fakes are simpler to make use of up than polish, I actually need to make use of what I have already got. (I used to be not tempted by the Kiss nails, as I’ve quick access to these.)
Essie is not arduous to seek out at residence however it was nonetheless fascinating to see the shows in England. This one at Superdrug had mini bottles, a line referred to as Love by Essie that I do not recall seeing earlier than (it is plant primarily based), a bunch of shades within the common line, a smaller choice of Gel Couture, and prime/base/therapies.
At Boots, the show was related, however had extra shades and as a substitute of the Love line, had an Expressie part.
A distinct Boots had a trending shades part above their predominant Essie show. This had Ballet Slippers, Birthday Lady (bought out), Cute as a Button, Lilacism, Salt Water Completely happy, and Mint Sweet Apple.
I solely noticed a Kiko show as soon as, at what I regarded as the flowery Boots (it was a minimum of twice as huge as any of the others I went into). This had removers, prime/base/therapies, and shades from the Energy Professional and Sensible traces.
The one Make-up Academy polishes I noticed had been on this standing show with neon make-up for summmer.
I miss the times when Maybelline had a number of polish releases, so many with fascinating colours and finishes. I noticed two traces from them in England, each with a reasonably tame choice of shades. This is the Tremendous Keep:
And the Quick Gel:
I’ve a comfortable spot for Max Issue because it was a model my mother used. Their presence within the US appears to have light rather a lot since then however it appears going sturdy in England. This show had three traces of nail polish: Nailfinity (longwear gel-like color and not using a UV lamp), Miracle Pure Nail (plant-based and 100% vegan), and Masterpiece Xpress Fast Dry (60 seconds excessive shine wealthy color).
A distinct retailer had this association of Nailfinity and Masterpiece Xpress:
That retailer’s inventory of Miracle Pure Nail seemed to be a restricted version assortment from Priyanka Chopra Jonas, together with her title printed on the labels. I did get these shade names. High row: Glowing Mild, Dawn Glow, Radiant Rose, Vanilla Spice. Backside: Winter Sundown, Daring Cherry, Daring Rosewood, Starry Night time.
Like Assortment, I hadn’t heard of the My Temper model earlier than I noticed the show. This was organized by teams: Want a High Up (glitters), Nude Temper (a spread of skintone cremes), Nail the Dream (shimmery pastels), Subsequent Degree Neon (neons plus a white base), On the Brightside (appears a couple of pastels snuck into this half), Cult Classics (stunned the blue was right here and never with brights), Remedies (bases, topcoat, oil), and Energy {Couples} (pairs of suitable shades).
A better have a look at the glitters, which nearly made me break my no shopping for polish rule for this journey:
The Nails Inc show I noticed had two rows of Plant Energy shades (vegan and halal-friendly) on prime with the standard line beneath (neons, nudes, pastels, pinks, glitters, prime/base/therapies) together with a row of the 45 Seconds Speedy Gloss shades.
The polish within the Revolution show at Superdrug had neons in spherical bottles and excessive gloss shades in squar ones.
At Boots, the Revolution polishes weren’t showcased as nicely however they’d extra varieties: Categorical Nails, Neon/Sweet Nails, Gel Impact, and Nail Care.
This Rimmel show had Tremendous Gel colours within the prime rows and 60 Seconds Tremendous Shine beneath with a couple of Glitter Bomb shades as nicely.
At one other retailer they’d a Rimmel Nail Bar part with a wider vary of shades, together with a pair glitter prime coats. These had been largely 60 Seconds Tremendous Shine with 4 rows of Tremendous Gel within the higher proper.
My outdated good friend Sally Hansen had some represention over the pond. At Superdrug, they’d a choice of Good Sort Pure, Miracle Gel, Insta Dri, and coverings.
At a Boots, they’d an analogous assortment of Sally Hansen.
I’m nonetheless amazed that I managed to not purchase any nail polish on my journey. Every time I bought tempted, I might remind myself of the numerous many many lovely untrieds ready for me at residence. I did purchase three concealers and a basis (and sunscreen and some different issues I used on the journey), and have purchased a couple of polishes since I have been residence, in order all the time I am a piece in progress.
If you happen to’re keen on any of the Zoya Colours of the Month, this might be somewhat preview for the July Coloration, Frankie, which is impressed by watermelons. I used 1 skinny coat of Sunshine on My Thoughts over 2 coats of Zoya Frankie for the swatches. I feel you will notice seen nail line if you happen to used Sunshine on My Thoughts by itself, so I solely used it as a topper. It’s a clear-based topper with matte white and neon inexperienced/yellow/pink/purple/pink/orange circle glitter with a scattered holo glitter end. That is the proper topper for all your vivid summer season manicures!
