Q: I can’t get the polish to cure even with the light. It remains sticky. What am I doing wrong?

submitted by Pollypockets - 13 days ago
  • A: Hi! Our Builder Gel stay slightly tacky by design so each layer can properly adhere to the next. Once you apply and cure the builder gel polish with the Gel Top Coat, everything seals and your nails should feel smooth and glossy. 💕

Q: How would you remove gel polish on top without messing up builder gel underneath?

submitted by Allicat - 2 months ago
  • A: To remove gel polish without damaging the builder gel underneath, gently file off only the top color layer using a fine‑grit file until the shine and most of the pigment are gone, and stop as soon as you reach the clear builder layer. Don’t soak in acetone, since that will break down the builder gel too; just lightly file and buff the surface so you can repaint right over the existing builder.

Not worth it

Don't waste your money. Doesn't last more than a few days. Also, the colors are VERY sheer so if you like that, cool but if you want full coverage, won't bother, even with 3 coats. What a disappointment. I gave it 4 stars for "Easy To Remove" because it literally feels right off the nail within a day or two, if that.

Great starter kit

This is a great starter kit! It is not my first time doing gel polish at home, but it is my first time with builder gel and it was very fast and easy. I'm glad this polish has less toxic ingredients than other brands and this will be the one I use from now on. I hope they get more colors at Target. If you do builder gel or acrylic nails fairly often, do yourself a favor and buy a nail drill to grind them down when you're ready to remove or redo. It's SO much easier and you can find ones that are not that expensive.

Terrible for your nails

This product ruined my nails. Directions were followed precisely, but my nails have never looked like they do now. It also didn’t last more than three days and they came off on their own.
1 reply from Olive & June Specialist team - 19 days ago
We’re really sorry this happened. When gel comes off on its own and leaves nails feeling thin or damaged, it can sometimes help to use ultra‑thin layers and avoid any lifting before removal, since peeling or early release can pull layers of the natural nail with it. We’d really like to help look into this with you and support your nail recovery. Please reach out to us at hello@oliveandjune.com, and we’ll be happy to help. 💅

Great Gel Quality

I love this company! The nail salon drains my social battery and my bank... I think they've got tons of gel polish to chose from, drying time is under 6 min per hand (depending on the # of coats), it lasts as long as a salon gel and is very shiny ✨ The lamp is an LED UV, this box comes with a base coat and a top coat so you only need to buy your favorite color 😍

Not suitable for those that work with their hands

I pick the items for and pack packages for a living. I tried these over and over again for a month, trying different things to make them last. I wanted to love them so much, but the longest ive been able to make them last is a week. So they’re good for a night or a weekend out, but not for regular use when you do manual labor. They peel so easy. But they did improve the health and length of my nails. My best tip is to keep your layers thin and clean up your edges.
1 reply from Olive & June Specialist team - 29 days ago
We’re really sorry your builder gel isn’t lasting longer than you’d lik. A quick tip that can make a big difference is thoroughly buffing the cuticle area before starting, since even the slightest bit of shine or leftover cuticle can cause the builder gel to lift almost immediately. If you’d like us to take a closer look or help troubleshoot your routine, please reach out to us at hello@oliveandjune.com and we’ll be happy to help!

Great product

Easy to use, I did my nails a few days ago and my daughter’s tonight. Mine have held up well. I’m happy to save the $100 per month on gel manicures.

Great base layer

Sugar Glow is a beautiful sheer milky white builder gel that gives a very natural, clean look. It adds strength while still looking soft and subtle. It’s perfect for minimalist manicures or as a base for nail art.

The first one I bought had a defective lamp so I returned it and got another one. Still giving 5 stars even though that was an inconvenient start. If you follow the directions properly this is super easy to use and looks amazing! It doesn’t come with color polish so I bought that separately. Also decided to add in the peel off base coat. Didn’t use that on my first time and it was a hassle & a lot of time to remove the gel polish. Second and third time doing my nails with the peel off made it so much faster to remove. My nails are super thin and damaged from years and years of going to the salon. I love the builder gel! Even a thin coat makes my nails feel so much stronger.

UGH, I hate to write

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] UGH, I hate to write anything negative as I love O & J. I already had trouble with the regular gel’s peeling off, but this didn’t even make it 24 hours. And it damaged my nails pretty badly. Half of it would peel so I wasn’t able to just leave it and so when I had to peel the rest off, it ripped the top layer of my nails. I reached out for help and they told me I put it on bar nails, and I followed the tutorial each step. Maybe there’s something wrong that my nails that it doesn’t adhere to. I don’t know. Sigh. I love the kid and really wanted it to work. I’ll leave a photo of my nails after you can see the last nail is still peeling off, but I’m afraid to pull it.

Don't love it

This polish is extra sticky. While I'm newer to DIY gel manis, I find this polish starts lifting quicker than the regular gel line.

Fantastic Builder gel!

The kit is simple to use and I was able to add length to a nail that was broken and painful. Once I built the nail length, there was no pain and it has grown out. VERY happy with the ability to do this on my own. I travel constantly so getting to a salon was near impossible. There has been no lifting of my manicure which is a plus!

does not cure

i have tried this builder gel 3 different times and am very disappointed. the first time with an olive and june gel and top coat. bottom didnt seem to cure and it peeled off in less than 24 hours. the second time i just did it with a top coat and it also didn’t cure. (obviously im doing this one coat at a time but im just giving examples of different ways ive tried it. ) didn’t seem to cure and peeled off under 24 hours. then i tried it by itself and if didnt cure despite almost having my hand under the lamp for 5-10 minutes. was sticky and didn’t even bother waiting for it to peel off.

received broken product

The products a good but the light arrived broken. Went to plug the cord into the port of the light and the port just fell into the inside of the light and rattled around.

I’m really sorry your light arrived damaged 💔 that’s incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re excited to use your new products and can’t even get started. We definitely want to make sure you have a fully working lamp so you can get the most out of your kit. Please email us at hello@oliveandjune.com so we can assist further, whether that’s troubleshooting or exploring other options. 💅

No more salon trips!

I’m so happy I picked up this kit. I used to pay $80+ every few weeks at the nail salon. The instructions are super easy to follow and the kit has everything you need. I used the bubble gloss builder gel polish instead of the clear one in the kit and I love it! It’s thick and shiny and cured really nicely with the top coat. I’m a chronic nail biter and this kit will definitely help me as I try to grow my nails out! Definitely give this a try!
