Super easy mani system
I love how easy this was. My gel manicure looks phenomenal for an at home system ! The gel polish feels very high end and I love the way it is wearing. I’m a little sad because I did the fall mani gel system to get all the fun fall colors as well as the whole gel system. I got my limited edition polish but not the compact mirror.

Love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just my first run at using the set I ordered. I honestly think it looks better than what I was paying for at the nail salon and I can do it at my convenience. Only negative is I didn't order enough polish colors the first time.

Trouble Setting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love everything about it, but I’m having issues getting the polish to cure. I’ve done VERY thin layers and read all directions to make sure I’m doing it correctly. No luck.

The cord is barely a
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cord is barely a foot long. And you have to have a brick and an extension cord. I’m very disappointed in this. The polish peels off in 2-3 days. (No, I’m not using the Peel Off Base Coat) The acetone dried up after only a few uses. The instructions aren’t clear. I really don’t like anything about it except the colors.

The kit itself is great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kit itself is great and all the products in one box makes it easy. However, I purchased it for the new peel off gel base which is supposed to last “almost as long” as the 3 week gel polish. However, the product is completely unusable as a long lasting product. It came off within 12 hours and by 24 hours every fingernail had peeled off. I reapplied again using the video instructions and they all peeled again within 24 hours. The peel off gel base does make removing the polish a breeze but I don’t think anyone wants a less than 24 hour polish. I stopped using the product and used the regular base coat and the color has stayed on for over a week with no chips. Haven’t removed this version yet. Overall, the gel polish seems good but the new peel off base coat is unusable.

The polish is great! Light, not so much.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy overall but the on button for the light keeps getting jammed and I'm going to have to buy a replacement.

I am Pleased!
I am new to the world of gel nails, so I was super grateful to see all of Olive and June’s bundle options. I purchased the Gel Mani System + Builder Gel Kit, and I now basically have my own mini nail salon lol. The cost was the same as getting my nails done once, so that’s a steal in my eyes! I did my own gel nails for the first time ever yesterday after watching O&J YouTube videos, and I am so happy with how they turned out.

Peel off base coat is game changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thought I’d give the kit a shot since it’ll pay for itself after 2 uses. Really pleased with the quality of everything and step by step instructions. It took me 2 hours (no exaggeration) to remove the existing gel manicure I had on. The peel off base coat made ALL THE DIFFERENCE. My first manicure lasted about 2 weeks and I think I could get it to last longer with practice. The bail polished peeled off easily and without pulling my nail off with it. Very pleased and excited to collect more colors.

Great for Newbs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went from occasional Colorstreet use to this New Gel Mani Kit and 6 colors. I’m still wearing my first attempt 2 weeks later. I even did my mom’s nails when I visited her. It’s easy enough to learn and have great looking nails. I’m hoping the hard protection will help my nails that easily shear also.

Exactly what I was looking for!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love to have my nails done. But as I can’t afford to continuously get them done at the salon or take the time to leave my kids to do so and was just searching for a better option when I came across the gel mini system. I did not have a lot of expectations because usually things are too good to be true, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I did manicures at home that were lasting through the everyday life of dishes and all of the Mom things. I just got more colors for fall, I am so excited I will be using nothing else! This is such a game changer and my preteen loves it as well. It’s so great for your fingers and toes. I am simply obsessed. Thank you so much Olive & June!

Saving me from the salon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my nails done constantly for the last three years. I’m happy to find a way to save money and also use a cleaner product on my nails. It was so easy to learn to use

Either doesn’t last a day or ruins your nails
I’ve had this for a few months and tried different methods of application and it’s officially going into the trash. If I use the gel polish as instructed and even as instructed online, it will peel off with 12-24 hrs. If I don’t use it then the sides will peel off after a week and eventually when I use their products to safely remove the gel it will peel your nails off. My nails were strong before using this product and now they are flaking and brittle. Do not purchase this product.

We’re sorry to hear you’ve had such a frustrating experience with the Gel Polish and that your nails are now feeling brittle and flaky. Gel manicures and acetone-based removal can be drying to the natural nail, so keeping nails hydrated with cuticle oil or nail serum is important, especially between manicures. We’d also love to learn more about your application and removal process to see what may have happened. Please reach out to us at hello@oliveandjune.com so we can take a closer look and help!

Pretty Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still need to practice more with this but so far so good! The peel off base peeled off within a day so wont be using that again. Time consuming doing it yourself too.
