Olive & June’s Gel Mani System Delivers a Salon-Quality Manicure Without Leaving Home
As longtime fans of Olive & June who've received many a mani at their L.A. locations, we've loved seeing the brand's at-home lines flourish in recent years.
They offer a little bit of everything, from polishes and nail art stickers to press-on nails, with our favorite being their systems including everything you need for stunning nails, without ever having to leave the house. Our favorite, though, has to be their new The Gel Mani System, including a whopping 14 different pieces (including up to six gel polishes) to get picture-perfect nails that last. The brand was kind enough to send us at Sweety High, as well as some of our favorite influencers, our own systems and press-ons to try out, and they're worth every penny.
The Gel Mani System
Olive & June's The Gel Mani System's is all about customization, starting with one polish color at $85 for the system or six polishes with the system for $115. In case you're feeling indecisive, they also have pre-selected sets of six colors, including Bestselling Shades, Sheer & Neutral Shades and Dark & Moody Shades (all of which are gorgeous).
And they do not skimp when it comes to having a system for every step of your nail routine. It includes a 5-Finger LED Gel Lamp for curing plus Peel Off Base Coat, Gel Polish Base Coat, Gel Polish Color and Gel Polish Top Coat for getting the perfect polish look. They also include a Cuticle Serum for prepping, Poppy for painting with your non-dominant hand, Mani Cuticle Pusher, Nail File, Nail Clipper, Nail Buffer, Cuticle Remover and Clean-Up Brush for clean, neat-looking nails, as well as an Acetone Remover Pot for both preparation and clean-up. It's a process that's entirely worth the results—especially because they can last up to 21 days.
And we're not the only ones loving the system. Lifestyle influencer Vanessa Egorah was all smiles receiving her Gel Mani System, donning bare nails ahead of her next beautiful manicure.

Press-Ons
If you'd rather leave painting your nails to the professionals, we totally get you. That's why the brands press-on options are such a great choice. The brand offers both blue and tab press-ons in both solid colors and playful nail art designs for any occasion you can dream up.
Lifestyle and sports content creator Katy Kahn received their OMG Glue Press-Ons, featuring a super practical extra-short and rounded shape in a bold fall indigo. Honestly, you'd never guess these weren't her real nails—and Katy loves them too.
"They're so cute—such good quality," she said of the nails. "They legitimately last two weeks and I always get compliments"
