Does anyone use Olive and June for their nails?

Honestly, I'm not overly impressed by their stuff. What I do like about them is that if you need a good place to start with nail care, it is a nice consolidated system. So I don't think it was a mistake, but that you may find other products to replace these as time goes by.

The one big dislike I have is their top coat. It isn't quick dry, nor do I find it to be very shiny. I'm also not a fan of the Poppy, but I'm well used to painting my nails already. It might be a great tool if you aren't already accustomed to doing it.

I am wearing their polish right now. For me, it's great!

I am rough with my hands. I think the key is to make sure the top coat is applied well. Make sure to get it to the very tip of your nail. I also apply another coat of the top coat maybe 4 days in. I do all of this at night when I am settling down to read or watch something on Netflix.

I don't always do the full manicure program. Most times it's just polish and top coat. I do like the colors.

I bought their mani and pedi system during the pandemic. I still haven't been to a nail salon since Covid so I'm still using it. I do love their colors and they last a long time for me. Almost too long as I find the polish hard to get off even with their remover when I want to change colors. The poppy is a little awkward for me. And the box thing you're supposed to put your foot on for the pedi is not happening for me. She's a tall, young and flexible person. I'm 5'2" and 60. It's an awkward position for me to get my leg/foot into.

I like it for the most part. I do usually repeat the top coat a couple of days after the mani.

I started using their polish last fall. I really like their medium to dark colors, they cover nicely. I just buy their polish and their top coat.

I joined an Olive and June Facebook group, and the consensus in the group is that their nail polish remover is hard on nails. I already had some Sally Hansen polish remover so I just have kept using that and it works well.

The group also recommends OPI Nail Envy as a base coat and a nail strengthener and I do find it helpful. It helps keep my nails from staining.

So I usually do a coat of OPI Nail Envy, two coats of Olive and June polish, and then a coat of Olive and June top coat. I use their chisel brush dipped in a bit of nail polish remover to tidy up the edges. It usually stays nice-about ut five days, and I can always give the chips a little touch-up and get a few more days out of it.

It's all hard on my nails, however--they've always been very strong but they do flake sometimes now. So I try to give my nails a week or two of rest between manicures.

I don't usually attempt pedicures because I'm old, inflexible and short-sighted. For spring and summer, I usually go to a salon for pedicures and keep them plain when it's not sandal weather.

The FB group I'm in is called Olive and June Obsessed, if you're interested. I've found them really helpful.

I have quite a lot of it, and painting my nails has become a sort of hobby. I’m amazed that my skills have improved like they have.

I like the polish quite a bit. I like the wider brush and the poppy.

The pedicure tools that come in the Pedi set are really good. I did all of my own pedis last summer and got a lot of compliments on my work.

I use base coats from Holo Taco, and (most of the time) their topcoats too, because they dry faster.

I’m in the Olive You Club on Facebook. I’ve learned so much from other users, and the O&J educational videos and Instagram live demos are fantastic for getting started.

Thanks for the group recommendation!

It's probably great stuff but it feels cult-y the way Holo Taco does so I stick with indies for the most part. And they don't have anything really unique to my collection (understandably, since I must have at least 2000 polishes--I gave up my spread sheet)
