Q: How do you remove this? Can you show a video please?
submitted by miss mae - 14 days ago
A: For the easiest, non-damaging removal of your gel manicure, start with our Peel Off Base Coat. Formulated with hydrating glycerin to treat your hands while you wear it. It creates an invisible hydration shield for easy removal and its super-hydrating formula helps retain the nail's natural moisture. You could also add on the Salon Speed Soak Off System for an alternate removal method. https://oliveandjune.com/blogs/olive-university-gel/gel-polish-removal

Q: how do you remove it?
submitted by taylor - 3 months ago
A: Great question, Taylor! To remove Olive & June gel polish, file the top coat, saturate a sponge with acetone, place the sponge in a silicone cap with your nail, and soak for 10-15 minutes. If you used their Peel-Off Base Coat, you can peel off the gel polish. If using their Super Stick, peel off the Super Stick nail.

This is supposed to last up to 21 days. I followed instructions exactly as stated. I took a shower two hours later and when I got out 4 of my fingers had no polish left.

meredithjrailey - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve never done an at home gel mani in my life, but this kit is the perfect intro into gel manis at home!! The peel off base coat has a learning curve, but works well if you follow ALL the directions to a T!! I prefer my gel mani to last a full 3 weeks, so I skip the peel off base coat and just use the gel base coat, 2 coats of color, and gel top coat! The photo is the color XOXO, one of my faves for summer vacations ☀️

I've been using Olive & June's regular polish for a couple of years now and did not immediately jump on the gel train, I admit. I used to get gel done in a salon for years and didn't want to go back to that lifestyle of fighting with gel polish removal, etc etc....but I finally caved and tried it so I could do my sister's nails in gel, and I was worried for no reason. Does it take a little practice? Yes. I highly recommend reading the instructions and watching the videos on the website and on YouTube, and then don't get discouraged if you don't do it perfectly the first few times. I went in cocky and mine peeled off (with the peel-off base) after my first shower LOL. So I sat down that night and tried again with thinner coats, more "white space" and better clean up around my cuticles; it's now been 5 days and they're still going strong. Not to mention when they did peel off, it was CLEAN - no damage! Totally worth the fractional investment instead of a salon trip every two weeks!

I really wanted to be able to do gel at home but this system doesn’t really work. I followed the instructions exactly and the polish was streaky/see through and then peeled off within 48hrs. I contacted O&J to ask about a refund but no one will respond.
Gel maní kit
5 out of 5 stars
Leslie C. - 9 days ago
originally posted on Olive & June
I am new to DIY gel nails, I started practicing with just regular polish, but I wanted something that lasted longer and where I don’t get so much damage to my nails like I the nail salons they just overly file your nail bed using the electric nail filers. Therefore, I got The Gel Maní System and 6 polish bundle which I am really loving this and have been having so much fun trying on all the colors. The pros for me so far: extremely user friendly and provides all the steps, I loved all the colors and can’t wait to get more, but I need to finish and try all the one I got first. The only con is the peel of polish works extremely well that the gel starts peeling off in less than 24-48 hrs. The first time I did my nails a few started peeling off in an hour then the rest the next day at work a few more and I ended up having to remove all of them to re do them at home after work. I have just started not using the peel-off coat & my gel nails will last about a week because I am a nail picker and I over fixate on my nails.

I’ve tried nearly every gel polish out there that requires a UV or LED Light and while beautiful for the first few days, they always end up peeling or popping off. I decided to give Olive and June a try, but wasn’t expecting much. I was shocked at just how long they lasted! I had to actually peel/remove them off myself because it had already been 3 weeks and the grow out didn’t look so great 😅 but the fact that I can even say I saw a grow out is amazing! I have already reordered another kit so I can cure both hands at the same time, and wanted to add 10 more colors!

Love the product. Directions must be followed step by step. Love the set up and every is so neatly packaged. When using the peel off base the gel polish leaves no damage to the nail.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge powder gel fan because it lasts much longer. I am tough on my hands and do a lot of dishes and wash my hands a lot with a newborn in the house. I must say that olive and June gel is just as strong and lasts just as long as the powder gel from the salon! It is easy to apply and I’ve had it on for over 2 weeks and I have not had one chip yet! I am totally converted and will visit the salon much less often! Great product highly recommend. The peel off base coat however can not get wet AT all and if it does it indicates peels.
Great system!

Dissapointed - 19 days ago
I love olive and June nail polishes so I thought I’d give this kit a try. Would not buy it ever again. The gel was not curing under the UV lamp no matter what I did. I tried applying the thinnest of layers and still no cure. Sad it didn’t work out but I guess you get what you pay for.
