Fun with Olive & June Summer Brights

Well, whatever you do, don’t – don’t! – Try removing your nail polish by sticking a toe in the Olive & June nail polish remover jar.

I’m going to file this life lesson under “Things that seemed like a good idea at the time.”

Ha ha ha!

However, getting nail polish off the fingers is another story. It’s very easy – put a nail into the bowl, which has a pre-moistened sponge inside, and stir it a few times.

It’s less of a hassle compared to needing a cotton pad and a bottle of nail polish remover. It’s so easy, in fact, that I make it my weekly nail maintenance routine.

In any case! It was a really fun nail polish with the Olive & June Mani System that my friend Marisol gave me for my birthday. Connor was enjoying it too and even volunteered to help with swatches.

We’re wearing three of the six new summer colors! On my fingers, I wear two coats of how do you spell bougainvillea? House of O&J Connor Track Coat Not a Cloud.

The only thing that’s interesting to me about these particular shades is that they have a coverage level that isn’t completely opaque, so even with two coats, you can see a little bit of your nail whites running off if you look closely. (You can’t see it at arm’s length, in case you were wondering.)

These shadows have a tiny smidge of translucency in them, which seems to go with all my gel mani’s going in lately!

I naturally prefer a nugget of color, but the more i wear the gel hues, the more i love my go-to look.

All this to say – even when you know exactly what you like, you never know if you’re going to get into a new trend until you try it.

Have you tried this type of jelly mane yet? I think you should try it!
