Nail polish is my jam. As a little girl, I always loved color, even though my mom felt little girls should only wear sheer pinks. Once I got older, no color was off-limits. Now, as an adult, that hasn’t changed. I typically do a mani in my weekly self-care routine. Getting to write this Olive & June Nail Polish Review has made me want more polish!

While cruising on the Target app, I stumbled upon Olive & June and was like yes, please. Their color schemes represent my personality, a bit of soft and frilly nudes, and bright festive rainbows. I reached out to the team at Olive & June, and they happily sent me some goodies.

Olive & June Nail Polish Review

The Brand

I love that they use all colors of hand models. As insignificant as it may be, seeing hands that look like me helps me to know how a color will translate on me. I can’t even tell you how I have searched the web for a new polish release to find bloggers who have darker skin to see will it look as amazing on me. Now I have grown into buying higher quality items, inclusivity is very important. 

Olive & June is this fab brand that was dreamed up because they wanted better in the salon world. The brainchild behind this brand is Sarah Gibbon Tuttle, or better know as SGT. Only the cool kids can go by their initials and it is awesome. I love reading about how brands come to existence as my entrepreneurial heart just swoons. 

Olive &June’s focus on how to make salon-quality manicures great at home is truly magical. This created so many things that you will see today. They aren’t just a nail brand to me as they have their fabulous salons but took the game by storm by doing Mani Master Classes and Bootcamps that help you learn to paint your nails in 1 week. As someone who has been painting their nails for over 20+ years, I think this is genius. What makes an amazing mani is all about the strokes and application.

The Product

With COVID-19, many ladies are finding themselves missing that fresh mani feel. To some, a mani is an hour they get to devote to themselves especially the busy mom or professional. Being able to have a nice mani/pedi can help a lady have a bit of normalcy in this unpredictable world. 

 In that same energy, many ladies who are reliant on salons may not feel as confident about giving themselves at-home manicure. Their products are innovative, as a base coat is mixed into the nail polish allowing for just 2 steps. Their star, the Poppy is a universal nail polish top holder. It helps to steady the hand, which makes for a winning mani every time.

The polishes are long-lasting with salon-quality results with the claim of streak-free in 3 strokes or less and are 7 free! They are also vegan & cruelty-free.

One of my fav colors GH is a dream baby pink that’s flattering on dark skin tones lasted well even with my having to get groceries which again with the increased use of cleansers to safeguard my home it still lasted well.

Now I had to test out the longevity of this polish. I am rough on my nails with my increased workouts, and the pandemic increased handwashing has taken a toll on your manicure. I can happily say I can get a good 5 days of wear without chips but I’m hard on my nails so that is a Christmas miracle for me.

I was sent “The Into You” box which to me equates to summer in nail polish form. The colors speak to my cheery place. In this box, it gives you everything you could ever need for an amazing mani. From nail polish remover, nail tools, and of course the polish. This is a magnificent gift for someone who misses being in the salon or for you lol. They took the guesswork out of doing an at-home mani.

Now one item I was curious about was the Cuticle Serum. I make my cuticle oil as I love massaging my nails while in those dreaded Zoom calls lol. This gem helps to keep your cuticles hydrated and healthy, which helps to extend your manicure. I found the texture, which is a creamy serum very great when you don’t want your hands oily. I have also topped it off with nail oil at night and woke up to amazingly soft cuticles.

I hope this Olive & June Nail Polish Review was helpful. This would def be an item I would splurge on as it will pay for itself quickly. I would love to know, have you bought any of Olive & June polishes yet? If not, make a Target order and add a few or a lot in your order. It will make any date an outstanding one!
