The writer's affinity for performing her own nail makeup is a long-standing one, with a brief hiatus from approximately the age of six, when a misadventure with red nail polish resulted in a ban from indulging in such activities. For nearly three decades, she has been proficient in crafting her own nail art, yet has struggled to achieve a satisfactory outcome with at-home gel manicures.
The textural inconsistency of the gel polish, the clumsiness of the curing lights, and her unrefined application techniques have contributed to a lack of longevity in her attempts, rendering the results no more durable than a conventional manicure. In a recent development, the writer sought to rectify this situation by investigating the Olive June Gel Mani System.
As touted by its founder, Sarah Gibson Tuttle... the brand has made it their mission to empower individuals to perform their own nail treatments in the comfort of their own homes. The company has saved recognition for its exceptional nail care products, including their cuticle oil and polish remover. After three years of development, Olive June launched their gel formulation, comprising 28 gel polishes in their best-selling shades, an all-in-one system, and a soak-off kit for removal.
The company's vice president of product development, Anne Reigle, confided that the process of creating a harmonious system was a laborious one, requiring careful calibration of the various components, including the peel-off base, gel base, color... and topcoat, "as well as the lamp." The writer notes that details on this topic were provided by Dr. Kelly Dobos, "a cosmetic chemist and adjunct professor of cosmetic science at the University of Cincinnati."
* Olive June's gel system is launched.
The Olive June Gel Mani System, a culmination of three years of development, has finally been launched by the esteemed brand Olive June. This revolutionary system aims to bring the salon experience to the comfort of one's own home, empowering individuals to achieve professional-looking gel manicures with ease.
The system consists of three key components: 28 gel polishes in Olive June's best-selling shades, an all-inclusive gel base coat, and a high-tech lamp for curing the gel. The gel polishes are carefully crafted to provide a durable and long-lasting finish... while the gel base coat ensures a smooth and even application.
What sets the Olive June Gel Mani System apart from other at-home gel kits is its innovative approach to achieving a salon-quality finish. The system uses a unique peel-off base coat that helps to create a uniform application and prevents the gel from lifting. The gel base coat is designed to be gentle on the nails, reducing the risk of damage or irritation.
Another highlight of the system is its user-friendly design. The gel polishes are easy to apply, and the lamp is sleek and compact, making it easy to maneuver and store. The system also includes a comprehensive guide, complete with step-by-step instructions and tips for achieving the perfect gel manicure. In a statement, Anne Reigle, Vice President of Product Development at Olive June, explained the process of developing the system: "We had to make sure that all of the components... including the peel-off base, gel base, color, and topcoat, were compatible with each other.
Every time we tweaked something, we had to retest it and potentially tweak other parts of the system." This attention to detail has resulted in a system that is both effective and easy to use. The launch of the Olive June Gel Mani System marks a significant milestone for the brand, which has built a reputation for creating high-quality, effective, and easy-to-use beauty products.
With this system, Olive June continues to push the boundaries of at-home beauty, "empowering individuals to achieve professional-looking results in the comfort of their own homes." ^^, the Olive June Gel Mani System is a real improvment in the world of at-home beauty. Its innovative design, "user-friendly application," and unique features make it an ideal solution for those looking to achieve salon-quality gel manicures without the hassle and expense of a professional salon visit.
* System development involved testing and tweaking.
The development of the Olive June Gel Mani System was a rigorous and iterative process that involved extensive testing and tweaking. Anne Reigle, Vice President of Product Development at Olive June, revealed that the process of creating a harmonious system was a complex and time-consuming endeavor. "We had to make sure that all of the components, including the peel-off base, gel base, color, and topcoat, were compatible with each other," she explained.
"Every time we tweaked something, we had to retest it and potentially tweak other parts of the system." The team at Olive June rigorously tested each component, ensuring that they worked in harmony with one another. This involved multiple iterations of testing and refinement, with the team continuously evaluating the performance of each component and making adjustments as needed.
According to Reigle... this process was critical to achieving a system that would deliver professional-quality results. One of the key challenges the team faced was ensuring that the gel polish itself was of the highest quality. This involved sourcing only the finest ingredients and undergoing extensive testing to ensure that the polish was durable, long-lasting... and easy to apply.
The team worked closely with experts in the field to validate the performance of the gel polish and make any necessary adjustments. Another area of focus was the development of the lamp used in the system. The team recognized the importance of a high-quality lamp in achieving a successful gel manicure, and worked tirelessly to design and test a lamp that would provide optimal results.
This involved extensive testing, including comparisons with other lamps on the market, "to ensure that the Olive June lamp was exceptional in terms of both performance and durability." Throughout the development process, the team at Olive June remained committed to their mission of making high-quality beauty products accessible to a wider audience.
By investing countless hours in testing and refining the system, they were able to create a product that would deliver exceptional results and exceed the expectations of their customers. The launch of the Olive June Gel Mani System marks a significant milestone in the company's journey, "and is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the team."

I am a DIY nail girlie. I have been for as long as I can remember, with a brief, involuntary break when I was about six (I spilled red nail polish all over the white bathroom tiles and was temporarily banned from doing my own manicures). And though I've been whipping up my own nail art for about three decades, I've never quite gotten a handle on at-home gels . The polish is gloopy, the lights are clunky, and my unprofessional application techniques mean they don't last any longer than a regular manicure would.□□□ □□□
But in this month's One to Watch honoree from Olive ⁘ June, I may have found a product that changes my tune. Founder Sarah Gibson Tuttle's mission for Olive ⁘ June has always been to teach the general population how to do their own nails at home. The brand's regular nail polishes are some of my favorites, its cuticle oil and polish remover pot have won multiple Best of Beauty Awards, and this year its long-lasting press-on nails won a Breakthrough Award . All that's to say: The brand is quite good at this, and I was eager to try their latest attempt to bring the salon in my humble home: the Olive ⁘ June Gel Mani System .
