Q: How do you remove this? Can you show a video please?
submitted by miss mae - 18 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.

I’ve really enjoyed this gel system especially with kids or doing nails before bed! I no longer have to wait for my nails to dry. There is a learning curve for sure. I’m still learning but getting better with each application. Also, this set is still less than one salon manicure, so I think it’s worth it even if you don’t end up continuing use.
Neutral Gel System

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The neutral gel system at home is the absolute best. The instructions are easy to follow. The colors in the kit are all very similar to one another, which is perfect if you prefer natural looking nails. I’ve noticed the gel starts peeling in 6-7 days. I’m not sure if that’s normal, or if I’m not prepping my nails entirely correct.
LOVE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is better than any gel polish in nail salons. It is not hard to apply; even if you're not 100% perfect with application, it will look amazing and it lasts longer than a salon gel manicure! I'm also very impressed with the design of everything, it is really well thought out and everything is well made and pretty! The only feedback is that the soak off tools should be part of the initial kit that you purchase. I didn't pay attention to the fact that it wasn't included and ordered separately after my initial order. I think it makes sense to include those tools and supplies in the gel kit.

I was hesitant to try a home gel kit, but I love Olive and June so gave this a try and was blown away. You need very little product so the bottles last for several gel manis and the gel manicure was beautiful. Plump and glossy and lasted about 10 days (sometimes more). If you’re thinking about trying at home gel, this kit is a great place to start!
Whoa! I can do this at home?!?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am the sloppiest nail painter in the world. My 20+ year move is either: 1. Paint myself and then soak in the tub to let the paint soak off my skin (yes, it’s that bad) 2. Go to a walk-in nail salon and get furious because I get a nail fungus. Hygiene is not the salon’s priority. I did a gel manicure my first try that is on day 10 and still looking like salon quality. O&J where you been all my life?

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!

Gel maní kit

Leslie C. - 13 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!
