During quarantine last year, we had to resort to doing our own nails. Dislike. I am not a fan of painting my finger nails and toes mainly because it just never looks like when a professional does it. And honestly, who doesn’t want a nice foot rub with their pedicure? One day, Olive & June popped up on my IG. It’s been around for several years but just in case you haven’t heard of this line or are finally coming out of hiding from the pandemic, here you go. The 1st thing that drew my attention to it, was the claim of being long lasting like a gel mani you would get inside a salon. My gel used to last almost 2 weeks. I would say this polish FOR ME lasts 1 good full week. But, I’m VERY hard on my hands. It’s also not a fair assessment as we are washing our hands constantly and using lots of hand sanitizers. And, I tend to pick at my nails and cuticles. A big no no. Using their cuticle cream helps a lot and the glossy top coat is fabulous. I love how fast the polish dries too. The other thing that grabbed my attention is the selection of beautiful colors. These 3 are my latest infatuations. From left to right, the colors are-Lava, Sweet Gracious, and Lemony Lemon. Never too bright for me! Lava and Lemony Lemon are from their 2021 summer line. You can remove it with regular nail polish remover in a few quick swipes. This polish is also: formulated WITHOUT Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde resin, Camphor, Ethyl tosylamide, Xylene. AND it’s Vegan and Cruelty-Free!
