Testing out the Olive & June Gel polish

I decided to give the Olive and June Gel Polish a try because I got tired of how quickly my regular polish chipped.

This is my first time using gel polish myself without going to the salon, so I'm sure I'll get better the more I use it.

All in all, I like the gel polish system a lot. I tried several colors, and they all applied well. They went on smooth, leveled out nicely and got good coverage with two coats of polish.

The nail lamp is also really nice, it's a better quality than the little ones that come with most gel strip kits. I always feel like the little lamps don't have enough oomph to be safe, but this one is a nicer one.

Overall, I would recommend it. I would probably say to get it in stores if you're able, because processing and shipping from their website takes more time than I had hoped.

💌 Brand: Olive and June

... Read moreOlive & June is gaining popularity among DIY nail enthusiasts, and for good reason. This gel polish system boasts vibrant colors that apply smoothly, leading to a salon-quality finish at home. Many users appreciate the longevity of gel polish, as it resists chipping longer than regular nail polish. For those considering a switch to gel, it’s essential to invest in a quality UV or LED lamp for curing the polish properly, as this can greatly affect the outcome. Olive & June’s lamp is designed to provide consistent results, ensuring the polish cures evenly without risking damage to your natural nails. Additionally, Olive & June offers a wide range of shades and top coats, allowing greater customization for nail art and seasonal trends. Nail enthusiasts can explore different color combinations and finishes to match their style or occasion. When purchasing, many users recommend checking physical retail locations, as shipping times can be longer than expected. This ensures you can quickly get your hands on new colors and supplies to try at your convenience. In summary, Olive & June Gel Polish provides an exciting option for those looking to achieve beautiful, long-lasting nails without salon visits. If you’re seeking nail inspo for spring or beyond, this could be the ideal choice for your next manicure.
