Olive & June Nail Gel Starter Kit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried the peel off base coat several times and it falls off within hours, the regular gel lasts for at least two weeks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the colors! I love the glossy shiny look after my mani. The set is pretty easy to use & goes on beautifully. My complaint is longevity- these peel off so easily. I was expecting to have to work to get them off but I’m having the opposite problem. And I quit using the easy peel base coat and they STILL just peel off. I’m constantly redoing 1 or 2 nails “quick” to keep it lasting. Frustrating & probably not worth the money, sadly. I really wanted to live this set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent lots of money on this gel set and wanted to love it. Longest they stayed on was a week and I was able to repaint them after each week. My nails were so thin and started to curve upward. It's been 2 weeks without anything on them and they still have yet to grow back normally. Very disappointed and wish I could return.

Kit includes a lot for a great price! Still trying to get the hang of it but like it so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty color and salon look that lasts about 24 hours tops. Peels right off even with recommended prep.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m enjoying my gel mani kit. This is my first experience with at home gel and so far I am impressed. I was good at doing my nails with traditional polish and after watching the o&j tutorials the learning curve has been fairly short. The first gel mani I did lasted 10 days but lifted slightly on day 7. I contribute that to the fact that I didn’t realize how thin the thin coats should be and I forgot to clean the edges with the brush between coats. I’m on my second mani, day 8, no lifting. They look great. This time I only did one coat of color because I was in a time crunch, but it was good coverage so a second wasn’t needed. I have recommended this kit to several friends already, one of whom has shared my good experience as well. A note on removal- I bought the soak off kit and used the sponges and caps, it took a longer time than I expected and a lot of acetone was needed however but the condition my nails was still good afterward. Sponges are able to be reused and I will just purchase my regular acetone from Walmart to make it more cost effective. Great job olive and june! Photo is day 8.

My first attempt was a disaster. Print so small on the instructions that I missed how long to cure the layers. Also very hard to apply thin coats. I put on too thick and then didn’t cure it long enough. Such a mess. The tried to remove and that was a project. What a waste. Not sure I have the patience to try it again. Think I will stick to traditional manis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The system is easy to use. Nails look great. But the peel off system allows for the nails to peel off within days, sometimes, next day. It is not long lasting!

Love this starter set!! I was debating and debating but finally took the plunge. Thin coats are the key to longer lasting and professional looking gel mani. My first trial I used the peel off base (worked beautifully) and a couple of my nails peeled off after 7+ days but of course not the ones that weren't so pretty - those lasted too long and I had to peel them off after 14 days (I couldn't take it lol). I've since done my toes and another round of fingernails. If you have trouble in the begining keep trying and follow the directions because you are worth pretty, shiny nails!!!

21 day wear is a definite stretch; more like 6 days in my case. Followed directions and was so hopeful this set would work better than all the rest. Now stuck with several bottles of nail polish. Would not recommend.

I absolutely love this mani system it’s my new fave hobby! Highly recommend to anyone who wants nice nails but doesn’t want to pay the salon price!

I was hoping it would last a week. I am disappointed.

Overall it’s a great kit and I’ve been loving it. Ideally if the peel off base coat lasted more than an hour that would be a game changer- that was a huge selling feature but unfortunately it doesn’t work for long term wear. 🥲 that’s the only reason I didn’t give the full 5 ⭐️.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first tried Gel Mani with my sisters on vacation. She loved it so much that when someone stole her first kit she had to buy another, so of course she brought it and we all tried it on vacation! It was fun and easy and mine lasted more than 2 weeks! Another sister and i both bought the kit with the best seller colors. However when I got my brand new kit in the mail the paint color was goopy, thick and harder to apply (I shaked them vigorously too) It left my manicure bumpy since the paint was so goopy. I still like it but was a bit disappointed when a few colors were this way, I have yet to try all the colors. I almost bought a kit for work (to share with coworkers) but was discouraged when the colors didn't seem right. Thanks for listening! Laura

Has everything you need to do the perfect gel mani at home over and over again

All around perfect product! Everything you need for a perfect manicure.

I love this set! I have saved so much money not going to salons and was surprised how long the gel polish stays on for. I also love the peel off gel so I can easily change colors.

It does the job for a quick fix to a manicure, but it does not last nearly as long as a salon style gel manicure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only like clear on my nails. I'm still learning how to best do this, but so far, I love the kit! The gel is so much prettier than polish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely loving this gel manicure system - I’ve had other systems in the past (Red Carpet, OPI, etc. ) but this is by far the easiest and longest lasting. I actually appreciate the steps it takes to give yourself a good looking manicure - gives you a sense of accomplishment!
