And they would say, \u201cYou\u2019re just always so classy. Keep it classy.\u201d And it just stuck with me. After I wrote my book Bigger Than Me, I wrote, Keep It Classy, Co-Parenting Strategies for Unstoppable Moms and Devoted Dads.<\/p>\n<p>And so, I\u2019ve been into press on nails forever. My friends would always be like, \u201cGirl, you\u2019re the press on queen, honey, because they don\u2019t even look like press on the way you put it together!<\/p>\n<p>And so I was like looking for press on nails and I really couldn\u2019t find exactly what I wanted at times. So I\u2019m like, \u201cYou know what? Hey, let me start doing my research.\u201d And I did. I\u2019m like, \u201cI can just create my own, just make that come together.\u201d And I was thinking of a name and I decided that I couldn\u2019t do any other name but Keep It Classy nails. So that\u2019s how that came about.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about the different looks that we can do with this. I\u2019ve always wanted to get into press on nails, but I like my nails super long, like Cardi B. Do you have styles similar to that?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we have them, it\u2019s called coffin nails! You are going to love them and when I say the colors\u2026I was so particular about the first collection, we had 10 in the first collection and shortly after we had the chrome metallic coming up. You should see me right now. My face just lit up. I\u2019m so excited and passionate about it.<\/p>\n<p>We have the coffin nails and we have vibrant colors, we have the matte collection, like a matte pink and it\u2019s amazing. We have all types [of nails], we even have a nude color for the [lovers of more]basic.<\/p>\n<p>We have the fuchsia, we have a matte red that\u2019s really new that I\u2019ve never seen out and we also have a few shorter nails for their ladies who don\u2019t like the nails. We have something for everyone. Even on the short nails, it\u2019s still a pop. And we\u2019re going into fall so I wanted to make sure that we have the darker colors. One of my favorite colors is a deep, deep purple that can put you in the mind of black. So that\u2019s one of my go-to\u2019s. And even with the short nails, we have junk nails with rhinestones on them. But the box, I feel like it\u2019s going to be a movement, we have a little pink box. No shade to the other companies that are here before me, but the little boxes, you just throw it away after. I wanted a keepsake and that\u2019s exactly what we created. It\u2019s literally a little drawer, a hot pink drawer, you pull it out and it\u2019s fluorescent and it has a jewel on it to open it up. I love it. I think it\u2019s going to cause conversations. It\u2019s just going to brighten up your day, I like to call it an extension of your personality. You could just put the nail on and it just pops. You pop it on your nail, get a new attitude.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2503148\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blacktwitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/16969671590181.jpeg\" alt=\"Monyetta Shaw: Keep It Classy\" width=\"700\" height=\"875\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2503148\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2503148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Keep It Classy Nails<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s why I was like, I need to create something that looks like I sat down. It\u2019s been maybe a year in the making and while I was testing out exactly the type and the manufacturer I wanted to work with, I would wear them. Even in shooting the show, on Real Housewives of Atlanta, I actually wore the nails trying to figure it out. And I just wanted it to be something that was authentic to me. And even though it was convenient, I didn\u2019t want it to look like it was convenient. People really complimented me every single time I had on one of my nails. They could not believe it was press on, honestly. They could not.<\/p>\n<p>So what has been the reception with the ladies of #RHOA? I know you said Kandi\u2019s been super supportive. Is she going to be wearing these nails in one of these spoof videos when she\u2019s dressed as Charlamagne Tha God?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s hilarious. I would hope so. But definitely, she was super supportive even before she saw it. It\u2019s funny because we talked, she was like, \u201cTalk about moving in silence, girl, we didn\u2019t even know y\u2019all were doing this.\u201d She didn\u2019t even see it and she already supported me but that\u2019s how we are as friends, we support. And I\u2019m a girl\u2019s girl and I love to support other women and just empower each other. And that\u2019s what we do in real life.<\/p>\n<p>And so when I saw her yesterday, I came with the little pink box, and she was blown away. She was like, \u201cOh wow, these are really good.\u201d So she took her picks and got her stuff and she was really excited about it. And I just love the excitement and the support that she shows. I\u2019m hoping she\u2019ll have one on in the spoofs and when she\u2019s doing press.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of you being a girl\u2019s girl and always keeping it classy, what was it like for you filming The Real Housewives of Atlanta? Because we know sometimes things can get tumultuous, people can get a little catty. How do you deal with that and still show up as the classy Monyetta Shaw that you are?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, boo. Great question. I guess a lot of people are like, \u201cYou\u2019re doing what?! Huh?\u201d But they know me and let\u2019s be clear. I\u2019m nice until I\u2019m not, don\u2019t push me too much, but I like to say it takes a few times for me to go there. Being nice and being kind, people seem to take advantage of you and they will try you, but you have to let them know. And look, that happened, with Marlo slamming the door on me. When I tell you, Dani, I saw black. I really saw black! Ad I was coming for her and everybody was like, \u201cRightfully so.\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cOkay, we\u2019re on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And I said some words and I\u2019m glad they edited how they did because trust me, the other side of me came out, honey. But one thing I\u2019m not going to do, I\u2019m not going to fight or anything unless I have to protect myself. It\u2019s always important to me to remain my authentic self in any situation and understand that. Even as I said, I blacked out because it was a real moment. I had to be real with myself and real with her. So I was still talking and she was still talking while she was walking outside the door. And I\u2019m like, \u201cGirl, look, I\u2019m right here. Whatever you got to say, just stay right here.\u201d So I kept going too.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s funny because people would be like, \u201cOh, you did that. But that was a classy thing, girl. That was a classy comeback.\u201d I am who I am, but I still remain myself and it gets crazy. And what\u2019s really, really crazy about it, still being friends with a few of the ladies, because we know a lot of people in Atlanta. So just being there and then seeing the confessionals and seeing people say things on the confessional that\u2019s a different energy.<\/p>\n<p>And when I\u2019ve been friends with people for over a lot of years and seeing them like that was the problem that I had and I was just like, \u201cOkay, so this is not cool.\u201d And of course, I would address the situation and then you would move on. But in real life, you\u2019re going to have situations and it\u2019s not going to always be friendly, but it\u2019s how you handle it. So I just try to remain myself regardless, but still speak my mind. And if I don\u2019t like the situation, I just say it and keep it moving.<\/p>\n<p>How do you keep it classy when it comes to these Housewives fans? Watchers of Bravoverse are diehards and will make complete threads after watching one scene on a show. How do you deal with that and how do you keep it classy when all of that is going on?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oh, always. And I have to understand that and d being in the limelight for many years now, thank God I was kind of prepared for it. But I wasn\u2019t fully prepared because Bravo, like you said, it\u2019s a different beast. These fans are hardcore, honey! So first season, I didn\u2019t say too much. I like to sit back and observe and now when I say something to show my opinion and get into the ins and outs of it, now I\u2019m talking too much. So I\u2019m like, \u201cY\u2019all make up your mind!\u201d They don\u2019t know what they want. So I\u2019m glad that I\u2019m being my authentic self because with that, you can\u2019t lose. You can never lose.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2503147\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blacktwitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/16969671507848.jpeg\" alt=\"Monyetta Shaw: Keep It Classy\" width=\"700\" height=\"1260\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2503147\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2503147\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Keep It Classy Nails \/ other<\/p>\n<p>Not everybody\u2019s going to be your person, but honestly, I\u2019ve been getting a lot of support as well. And it\u2019s hard too coming on as a friend [of the show]\u00a0 because they don\u2019t get to dive into the ins and out of my very full life and interesting life. I feel like honestly they missed so much. And so with the fans coming in like, \u201cOh well what\u2019s she doing?\u201d You have no idea. I have a lot going on and you guys would be very much so entertained.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m there to support and that\u2019s what I would try to let people know. But then if I would let one die-hard fan know, I had to let the other. So I just learned to just continue on with my life, be myself, and then if they start to follow me, they\u2019ll really, really see And they\u2019re like, \u201cOh, okay, this is what she\u2019s about. Oh, she\u2019s being real. Oh, she has been doing this for umpteen years. Oh, she\u2019s not new to this.\u201d I\u2019ve gained a lot of more supporters and they\u2019re like, \u201cOh wow, you should have a peach over this person.\u201d You know how they do. It\u2019s just like I have my people too, and that\u2019s a beautiful thing. But the others that are for the others, that\u2019s fine. It\u2019s just like, \u201cYou stay over there because if you like that, you might not like me because I do things this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I like what you said about your life and how you do have so much going on. You have your husband, you have all your business endeavors, and at one point you and Marlo [Hampton] had a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cs0BYrqO9R4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> back and forth<\/a> and you said, \u201cYou\u2019re right. I should be a Housewife\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2345787\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blacktwitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/16859769091418.jpg\" alt=\"RHOA: Monyetta Vs Marlo\" width=\"700\" height=\"650\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2345787\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2345787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: AB+DM (Ahmad Barber and Dant\u00e9 Maurice) \/ Bravo<\/p>\n<p>Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>So that is something that you feel? That you should be a Housewife? You do have a lot of things that we could learn and we could see, and we haven\u2019t really gotten to see that much.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly. You said it perfectly. It\u2019s all there. And for whatever reason, they wanted to give other people that forum. And hey, it worked out. Now they see that it might not, it\u2019s time to move on. Let\u2019s do it. I have connections, I have the family, the blended family. It could bring a different dynamic. Even the interracial relationship, you haven\u2019t seen that on The Housewives of Atlanta. It would be good to get that. And a lot of my friends that are connected, even the kids\u2019 father [Ne-Yo] where he would be a huge part of the show, but literally we do things together. We just went to his concert last Saturday all together, and that\u2019s really what you see. He pulled Maddie on the stage for the first night. It\u2019s so many awesome moments that the world I think would love to see. And it\u2019s not always perfect. It\u2019s to see how we get through and how we reach resolve.<\/p>\n<p>It would be amazing for the world to see. But I\u2019m not the type person that\u2019s like, \u201cPick me, pick me.\u201d I just know I know my value and I\u2019m going to continue with cameras or without cameras. I\u2019m going to continue to do me, live my life and just be this fabulous, classy person that I am.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about what else you\u2019re working on. I saw that you and your husband are doing a YouTube channel. Is that correct? Are we going to see more of you guys on there?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, yes! My YouTube channel, \u201cJust Monyetta\u201d, I\u2019ve been getting more consistent with it. It\u2019s really been really awesome. And introducing the world to [my husband]Heath Carter and everybody\u2019s loving him. Literally, everybody that meets my man, his energy is amazing. We see each other in each other if that makes sense, and it just works.<\/p>\n<p><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2504647\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blacktwitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/16971490516333.jpg\" alt=\"BMI Acoustic Sunset Sessions\" width=\"700\" height=\"675\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2504647\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2504647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Prince Williams \/ Getty<\/p>\n<p>So they\u2019re loving it and you\u2019re definitely going to see more of us together having these conversations and just having fun, honestly. And I want to show that one of his companies is demolition, he actually consulted the demolition of the Georgia Dome years ago and drove me out at five in the morning to see it. I was mad about it but I was so glad once I was there. It was cold, so I was like, \u201cWhat?\u201d And I was like, \u201cOh my God, I\u2019m sorry, babe. This is the most fascinating thing in life.\u201d Just watching all that and all that hard work and then it coming down and then seeing the new Mercedes-Benz right there in the horizon. I want to show part of that too, because he\u2019s my cheerleader and everything that I do and is so supportive of me being on this show, I\u2019m his number one fan too, and his biggest cheerleader as well. So I think that the world would love to see that. We\u2019re going to show more of that on \u201cJust Monyetta.\u201d So it\u2019s a beautiful thing and I\u2019m super excited.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know where to pick up these wonderful press-on nails so we can support you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0You can order them right now on <a href=\"https:\/\/keepitclassynails.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KeepitClassynails.com<\/a>.
