- 💅 Olive & June Nail Polish Review | Best Beauty Products | Skin Obsessed Mary
I’m always on the hunt for the perfect at-home mani, something to rival my beloved Shellac. Olive & June promises to deliver long-wear polish that’s kind to my nails and easy to use. Fingers crossed!
✨ UPDATE ✨
This polish is easily removed with Acetone so, it's super easy compared to this video!

Love Olive & June. I’ve been using their system for a little over a year. It’s a regular polish and comes off easily with their remover pot, Zoya remover or any others I’ve tried.
This is 100% my go-to!
@@SkinObsessedMary I tried Olive and June for the first time a couple of months ago, and the Polish Remover Pot works really well, it must be formulated with their polishes in mind because it comes off so easily!
Ran into them by accident on Instagram and was immediately obsessed. I just purchased their mani system kit with 6 polishes. Going to a nail tech for some months and she damaged my nails so bad, leaving no choice but to let my nails grow out and get strong. Now that they’re finally healthy after some heavy TLC, I now decided if I go to a salon it will be catered to natural nails only and not use an e-file. Been doing my own manis at home and obsessed with their range of colors here. Thank you for the review ❤
They have so many colours, it's crazy! I was just back in the States to picked up another colour (I now have 9) and top coat.
Like you, I've decided to no longer allow efiles on my nails. If i do Shellac (which I do whenever I travel), then I make sure they're filed by hand. Bu so far, Olive & June has been a lifesaver and the longest lasting polish I've found to date 👍
I've used Olive and June. For the price I think it's great long lasting nail polish. I was able to take it right off with nail polish remover, no soaking required, but I did use a lighter color than the one you tested.
I think the key is acetone remover. Ill be buying it next time for sure.
I found Olive and June on the internet by accident and am so happy I did. They had a color I liked, so I ordered it. I have to say, I am so impressed with their polish, I am now theirs for life. I also ordered the mani kit that includes everything you need for the best home manicure ever. They provide instruction for the clueless
( me), and even sort their polishes by skill level. As if this wasn’t enough, their customer service is next to none. The only down side is delivery is slow due to the fact that polish is a chemical. So plan accordingly.
That’s very good advice. And I’m a big believer too - keep buying new colours every time I’m home. They don’t ship outside the US so that’s a bummer.
I love Olive and June! Their polish remover pots are lovely!
I need try those...a few people have said that actually
Yes! Takes like 3 seconds per nail. Polish come off easily.
I am glad I came across this video review. I just ordered a set of 6. Can't wait to try it!
Please let me know what you think! Which colours did you get?
I am a member of Olive & June and have a ridiculous number of colors from them--love them and give them as gifts as well! I also really like Static Nails, I bought their Sweater Weather kit and love it! Trust Fund Beauty is fun but I haven't shopped there in a couple of years due to my Olive & June run. Glad you liked them! I do like their remover as well. Very quick and easy.
I think they're amazing! I'm heading to the US on Friday and already have an order waiting 👍
The remover jar works beautifully - I was pleasantly surprised. The contents are ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, alcohol, and water. I find it gentler than straight acetone.
I also got one of the nail treatment colors (The Queen Takes Her Tea With Milk) and it seemed to last very long and allowed my nails to grow out much longer than usual.
That's a lovely colour! Must try the remover...
Addendum: Target sells the remover, alone and in a starter kit.
@@Cassandra-..- that’s fantastic!
I just bought Olive and June nail hardener and a color a little earlier today I can't wait to try it, but I am thankful to know I may need another remover
Actually you don't! Olive & June got in touch after watching this and told me regular remover will work. They're right!
Thank you for doing this video! I keep seeing the ads for them but was hesitant to try it. I love Sally Hanson’s gel polishes but this system looks like it may last longer. I’m going to give it a try ❤
You are so welcome!
Another one to consider is Dazzle Dry. I started using in November and I'm hooked. It lasts even longer. I did a video if you'd like to see it:

It comes off super easily using their non acetone remover pots. I highly recommend them!
Must pick it up actually!
Thanks so much for this review! I’m a sucker for a gel manicure but my nails grow so fast that they start to look like they need to be redone after only a week. This sounds like it would be perfect for me. Is the drying time like normal nail polish?
It's actually faster that normal polish, so that's good. I just bought another few colour + new top coat. They're just fantastic!
Another thing to consider.....Dazzle Dry. I just bough the kit and will be a review soon (and maybe a comparison between Olive & June and DD).
I looooooove Olive and june and am part of their membership! Are you excited for their spring collection? I think it’s dropping next week 👀
Darn - I won't be able to buy in time! I'm only in the US for a few days and my latest order is already waiting for me 🕺
I always thought I could detect an Irish twang in your voice. I live in England and always use either Maybelline super stay strength primer or Rimmel nail base and top coat, with 2 coats of super stay top coat over any nail polish and my nails last a good week without chipping. I’ve tried high end base and top coats but don’t find they perform as well.
What part of England? I always though I'd end up in London, but ended up in Dublin instead. But there's still time 😉
I've tried both the Maybelline and Rimmer but nothing seems to work. It's like I have builders hands!
I just got mine today.
Ooh let me know what you think!
You don't have to wrap them in foil. Just use a polish remover,hold thr cotton ball for about 10 or 15 seconds and wipe off. Comes off just like any other regular nail polish.
You're so right! Olive & June clarified that for me too. I wear this polish religiously now...so easy to use and really lasts 👍
Your eye make up looks lovely today x
Oh thank you!
This sounds like a really great range!
It’s sooo good!
I happen to be in the neighborhood, so I think I WILL stop in to the salon in BH. Thanks for the tip! Do you notice that it strengthens the nails like gel does?
No it wears like regular polish. I don’t know how they do it
Hey loved your review. I have some Newberg used for me. Used on mom popped off on one then a few nails. I will use this summer. I am loving Dazzle dry its awesome. Not sure if they ship there. The salon life has lots of videos
Popped off? That's so weird! I recently heard about Dazzle Dry as well, so I'll be checking that out soon 👍
Sold! Great review
oooh! Let me know what you think 👍
I have wanted to try Olive and June for some years. I tried to order the last time I was home in Canada but the delivery time was super slow (this was June 2020). How I wish they would ship internationally 😌I really want the special tool for applying nail polish, the cuticle oil and I have a long list of shades that I think are lovely.
Hmm, I guess ordering really early is the way to go. My order arrived pretty quickly but perhaps that's just within the US 😣
Greta video. Thank you Can't wait to try it
Please come back and let me know what you think 🙏
Great review! Have you tried the ohora gel nail strips?
I haven't tried Ohora but I did buy Maniko. The video review is here: bit.ly/3azUy1R
I'm not a fan of the strips because I couldn't get the edges to seal.
Such a shame that O&J don't ship to the UK 😭. I have exactly the same issue as you with polish only lasting a few days at most. As you say, they have such a wide range of colours and they are so pretty. I'll stick with Orly bonder basecoat and Essie Gel Couture polish and top coat. That's what works best for me, although OPI's The Berry Thought Of You just lasted 4 days 🥳😁👍with the previously mentioned base and top coats.
You could try a mail forwarding services...I have an address in the US and they ship it to me here in Ireland. It comes in very handy at Christmas! Cost me €15 but shipping within the US is generally free, so not a bad deal.
@@SkinObsessedMary thanks Mary, yes I might try that. Quite expensive but might be worth it for nails that last more than a day!
@@fionaH101 For me...it is! I'm heading to the States Friday and my new order is already waiting 🕺
@@SkinObsessedMary I'm very envious! Hope you'll show us all your lovely new colours soon.
So you love it but is it better than shellac? I may have missed your answer but I'm not sure you gave us your final verdict. :)
Nothing works as well as Shellac but I don't want to spend the time and money (and nail health) to do it continuously, so this is BY FAR the best at-home kit I've tried. Every time I go back to the States I pick up a few new colours. It's fantatsic!
I find it to take a long time to dry. Felt tacky. Maybe the coats were too thick? Then when I reapplied the top coat it lifted on the edges the next day. Even with wiping with alcohol beforehand. Any tips?
Hmmm. I'd probably do thinner layers and leave a minute or two in between each. I use them all the time and don't have that problem. Another idea....send customer service an email. I found them very responsive when I had a few queries.
Great polish
Thank you!
Have you tried dazzle dry it's awesome
Not yet - it's been recommended by so many! I'm back in the US in October, so will get some then. Watch this space...
Does the olive and june polish system dry as fast as the CND vinylux system? I am loving the vinylux system because of the quick dry time.
It was only after I finished filming that I realised I left that part out. It’s not as quick as Vinylux but definitely quicker than regular polish. It’s touch-dry in 10 minutes but I take it easy for another 15 or so
@@SkinObsessedMary Thank you! I so glad I found your channel because your reviews are spot on, honest, and fun!
@@pamschrader6906 thank you so much ☺️
Have your nails improved and strengthened/grown after using O&J?
@@bobbiemcintyre261 No but I do like the system.
Does their polish turn your nails yellow once removed? Thanks!
No not at all. I was really surprised...it doesn't seem to cause any damage
@@SkinObsessedMary thanks so much for letting me know! I will give them a try. I just do not like yellow nail beds after removing polish. Can’t be healthy!
@@tasst2674 although…if you use a dark colour you need to start with top coat as a base because the colour will stain
@@SkinObsessedMary you’re brilliant and so kind to actually answer questions! Big like! Many thanks!
@@tasst2674 any time!
Where do u live? I live in Madrid Spain and its impossible to get these polishes! I dont understand why they dont have a distributor in Europe! Very unfair
I'm in Dublin, Ireland. But I'm American so would buy when I went home. It's a real pain!
okay it's just regular polish; you don't need to go crazy with soaking. It does come off with regular polish. The darker colors may stain a bit, but that's kind of unavoidable.
Yeah, I finally figured that out. It certainly simplified the process!
olive june is very good
It is!
Hi Mary being nosey you refer to home in the states where in the states are you from? Interested that you've ended up in Ireland lol.
THAT is a very interesting question. I think I use them interchangeably (which probably doesn't help much). Often when buying products I refer to US as home, but I haven't lived there in 17 years so it could be Ireland too 😉
I married an Irishman 20+ years ago while living in San Francisco (then unmarried him not long after we arrived here). I do ❤️Ireland
@@SkinObsessedMary unmarried him🤣🤣🤣 I was close I thought you'd fell in love with a Irish man and moved there so you obviously re fell in love with another Irish man who is your camera man! Thank you for your reply I'll stop being nosy now x
@@annhall2331 You got it, alright!! Happy to share 😉
