My Complete At Home Mani Routine: Using the Olive & June Mani System

[@toy2poos28]

I have a real hard time with my cleanup after polishing. Hopefully after watching you and listening to your tips will help me to improve that part of my manis. Thank you so much for all your videos. I find them very helpful.

[@elysej5068]

Me too! Especially with my non-dominant hand but I think taking it slow will be the trick!

[@GoPolished]

I hope so too! As far as clean up goes just make sure your polish is dry before doing it. It just turns out better in the end.

[@georgeannaihrke7093]

Hello fellow polish freak! 😊👍🏻 I have been doing my own nails forever but I still picked up some tips from you. Also thank you for swatching endless colors and comparisons. It really does help me decide which polish to buy. Hugs.

[@GoPolished]

What's up Polish Freak!? haha I am so glad my videos help you decide what to buy! That's my goal!

[@krioux2029]

I plan to give Olive & June a try...it looks like a great system. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@lisar7996]

This is the BEST at home manicure video I’ve ever seen, I saved it to my favourite videos list. Also, I recently bought Gala-vanting and I’m obsessed. Thank you so much for your thoroughness and easy to follow video.

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so so much! I don't know about the best haha but I am so glad you find it helpful! I am so glad you love Gala-vanting!! It's so stunning!!

[@smbarone2000]

You could also use a glass cuticle tool from Trim. You use it to push back the cuticle but also, using circular motions, you can clean off dead skin. It's very satisfying.

[@jeanettenagel1187]

Very good explanation! Glad that you went over all your steps so we can then judge if the system is for us! Thank you! 😊

[@ginac3834]

Great video! One of my friends always paints her thumbs last to use those nails to help clean up around the nails. It works like a charm!

[@alisontopalian8592]

Hi..Just found your channel. Fascinating to watch. I have been collecting nail polish for years. And i have at the moment about 100 bottles. All Essie, that's all I buy. So seeing all the colors you have reported on are new to me. Since watching you, I have bought about 20 bottles. I shop at Wal greens and this week they had Essie on sale buy 2/get one. So I was really able to stock up. I also ordered the Olive and June Mani System starter set. Excited for that to arrive. thank you so much. these videos are fun to watch. Update 5/2022. I got my olive and june mani system. Love some of it. Not crazy about some of it. I love all the tools. Especially the polish remover pot. Love love it. Its so much fun to use. Love the buffer and the clippers. Love the shape the clippers give my nails. Not crazy about the poppy. I had a hard time getting it on. And was just to awkward for me to use. As far as the polish, the colors are beautiful. But not crazy about the quality. It started peeling off the next day. No matter what I tried. Applying Very thin coats, letting completely dry between coats. It just peeled right off. So I'll use the tools but stick with Essie polish.

[@suzanne2931]

Laurie, you continue to teach and inspire all in the name of self care. I find myself going through my nail care and polish routine often while watching your videos. I appreciate your updates to an already strong routine. I'm looking at possibly buying an electric file, maybe for Christmas! Thank you for all you do for your lucky viewers!

[@GoPolished]

Such a nice compliment. Thank you so much!

[@laurenheile8842]

Such helpful tips! Love that color too.

[@debhunderman1965]

Great tips! I always make a mess when I cap the free edge, I need to get better at that!

[@lifeaccording2ronda345]

The brush tricks-- I definitely needed that tip!

[@amrita1240]

Definitely going to try some tricks that I don’t use! I found this video SUPER helpful!

[@farmgirlb2296]

I never thought to put the cuticle oil on with a brush! Thank you! 😊

[@GoPolished]

I feel like I have better control with brush, makes it so much easier, Thanks for watching!

[@annaberge298]

love this! as someone trying to get back into painting my nails…very helpful!!

[@GoPolished]

Yay! Glad you found it helpful Anna. Hope you are doing well :)

[@fiorellalivora4651]

As a beginner, I found these tips so helpful! Thank you so much for your video! I love Olive and June's nail polish and hope to get some new tools this holiday to better paint my nails!

[@GoPolished]

Yay! I am glad you are getting into painting your nails. I hope you get some fun nail stuff this holiday too!

[@lovelionlion1]

Very good video. Nice to see how you prepped your nails for the polish.

[@colleenslaiby4365]

Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! I want to try capping my next mani.

[@deannaingram8989]

I've been painting my nails since about the age of 11, but I always learn something new. Thanks for sharing your tips & tricks!!

[@GoPolished]

You are welcome! Thanks for commenting ;)

[@candicekunasek1705]

I had just asked about your process and then you put this video up. I loved it!!

[@allisonhiggins1826]

Thanks for the tips! I've been painting with O&J just over a year and just love it. Loved what you said about not having to have perfect nails! Thanks for the chance to win!

[@GoPolished]

Thanks so much Allison!

[@chrissystl9283]

Great video, as always! I have always painted my nails thumb to pinky and I have no idea why. Never even thought about it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will be switching it up next time. Thanks for all the tips!

[@GoPolished]

I am so glad you found it helpful!! Thanks for watching :)

[@karengant2555]

Great vid... It is always good to know the tips and tricks from someone who does a complete mani regimen.

[@GoPolished]

Thank you!

[@Heatherlynn00278]

I loved this. I do alot of these already but I need a better clean up brush. Maybe I'll try olive and June!

[@alimoore2471]

I have been thinking about trying Olive & June! You have convinced me! ☺️

[@jenn13]

Very detailed and helpful. No matter what file I use, or have had used at a spa… my nails crack and peel after. These kits look great!!

[@GoPolished]

I have nails that peel too no matter what I do. I have just learned how to work around it. I have realized my nails aren't perfect but I can still make them look beautiful. :) Thanks so much for being here.

[@metalstephie79]

Your doggo is so cute. She never bothers me in your vids. I haven't tried O&J. The fall collection probably has been my favorite so far from them. I love fall colors.

[@GoPolished]

I am so glad she doesn't bother you!! She's pretty hilarious. Yes, the fall collection was really great!

[@AmandaWeeg]

I never knew what ELF stands for… That’s currently the brush I use for clean up. Good video!

[@GoPolished]

It's a good brush too! Just a little thicker ;)

[@destinyramsey4]

This probably one of the best nail tutorials I've ever seen. I have used a brush to clean up polish in the past. It always seems to smear where yours just vanishes. Is it because I use a non acetone base, you think? I like to stay as non-chemical as possible. That cuticle tool may just be my saving grace. I too have that hard skin layer in the corners of my nails and I thought I was just cursed with it. I had no idea that tool would help. Thanks for making this video. Can't wait for my first O&J shipment to come ... any day now!

[@LGdaisylg6]

Thanks for the video, it’s always nice to see what others do for nail care.

[@janaw]

Thank you for this video. I learned a bunch and can't wait to give some techniques a try!

[@roryl2980]

I can't believe I've never thought of painting from pinky to thumb! I always bump my nails when painting them, so I'm definitely using that tip next time! Thank you!

[@GoPolished]

I really makes a pretty big difference! Thanks for watching and commenting Rory!

[@LisaRichter181]

Love the tips and how to use the cuticle tools. Thanks 💅

[@Fuzzy5149]

Thanks for the tutorial. It really helps me to actually see how you do your manicure. I’m not the best at painting my nails but I’m getting better.I have learned to relax and enjoy the quiet time.

[@GoPolished]

I think that's the best part oof nail painting is the relaxing quiet time. Thanks so much for watching :)

[@J_adoreLife]

Thank you for sharing your routine. I always like seeing what others do to maintain their nails at home. Continued blessings and success to you

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much!!

[@louisejeffries7155]

Hi fellow polish freaks. I watched the old mani video about a year ago now And even though I have been a polish freak for many a year That video made a huge, in fact the biggest difference ever to my nail care and routine My nails and cuticles have never looked better or been as healthy Laurie can I suggest that older video is good to watch in conjunction with this new video. it’s also interesting to see how techniques evolve Thanks as always Laurie for the video and the time and effort you put in. I think I’ve said that before but it is truely appreciated They are always so inspirational The only down side is now my world must stop While I go pick a colour for next week I try to reframe myself to one mani a week and I can do that now as I find just through good care and healthy nails the polish lasts longer Anyway once again thank you from a Fellow polish freak to.

[@GoPolished]

Thanks so much Louise! 💜

[@toryedwardsface]

Just ran to buy that tweezerman tool! It’s exactly what I’ve been needing to clean up that stubborn skin.

[@leedesantell5301]

Great video! I need to spend more time taking care of my nails. You’ve inspired me😊😊😊

[@GoPolished]

Yay! Have Fun!

[@Lois1593]

Yours nails came out great, I did not know what elf stood for either, thanks for the info, great giveaway

[@lee-ann4156]

Thanks for another detailed video!! Going to try the cleanup with acetone trick:)

[@gerbydaisy]

This was so relaxing to watch! I just love your process. Makes me want to sit down and do my own nails even though I did them last night already 😂

[@GoPolished]

Thanks so much Katherine! I am glad you find it relaxing. Thanks for being here

[@deborahbellinger5786]

Loved this video. I got a few tips I will definitely try. Thanks for sharing!

[@kristinorth]

I love your videos and Olive and June and learned some great tips from your video! I really appreciate your comparisons of O&J to their colors as well to other company’s similar polishes!

[@GoPolished]

Thank you for watching!!

[@justbreathe3833]

This video was very helpful! I love that little Dremel electric tool that you use and I think I might pick one up! Thank you for putting out such a wonderful videos!

[@GoPolished]

They really are so nice to have!

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

Thanks. I enjoyed watching and learning. Been painting my nails for years and years, but you can always learn a few new things!!!!

[@GoPolished]

Thanks Darlene! ❤️

[@stephaniesu3264]

I LOVE that you talked about uneven nail lines! It’s not talked about enough! I have that with a few of my nails and I get discouraged that they’re not even or straight. Thank you for keeping it real that nails don’t have to be perfect!

[@GoPolished]

You are welcome!! Thanks Stephanie!

[@flatline51]

nice, complete video. The electric file part was scary lol. Piper is so funny

[@indoorcats]

Every time you say "Polish Freaks" I feel joy!! Thank you for this, it was SO helpful!

[@annwelker1852]

I like Olive and June’s mani system too! Thanks for all the helpful tips!

[@laurengrady3757]

I got some helpful tips from this! I’m going to paint my nails tomorrow morning so I can try them out. I’ve been doing the cleanup part, but now I realize I need to blot the brush. I was creating almost as many problems as I was fixing!

[@GoPolished]

Yes! Blotting the brush is crucial! You don't want to flood the cuticle with acetone. I hope that is going well for you.

[@wendybascom9824]

Thank you for your videos! You have inspired me to start doing my nails on a regular basis.

[@whitneyalger6386]

I waited to watch this video until I was doing my nails. Super helpful!✨

[@GoPolished]

I am so glad you watched while you painted! Thanks for your support!

[@kristinmckinney2750]

Yay!!!! Love this video, found it super helpful, painted my nails using your tricks immediately after! Thank you for the details

[@GoPolished]

Awesome!! I am so glad it was helpful!

[@julianawilkinson107]

This was VERY helpful. I would put oil on my nails for faster drying, but seemed to miss my cuticles. Wow! What a game changer!!! TY

[@GoPolished]

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for being here!

[@paulsheldon229]

great color on ur nails my favorite

[@jenniferma4481]

You are so sweet! I love that you said you just want everyone to be happy with their nails! I love doing my nails but I try to rush through them and have sooo much clean up after. Im definitely going to try and slow down!

[@GoPolished]

I do just want everyone to be happy with their nails haha :) Yes, take your time and enjoy it!

[@sherribuschmeyer8711]

I really enjoyed this video. I am going to try the cleanup with acetone, I usually just use remover. I love the color, but I always love the colors you choose to wear.

[@GoPolished]

Thanks Sherri!

[@kiarad145]

Looks just like the elf concealer brush.

[@JessicafromPA]

Awesome awesome video, could not be better 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much for sharing your tips and recommending high quality products.

[@whitetigersallie1146]

I love watching these types of videos to see what others do and it helps me find other things that might work for me or find some bad habits that I might have picked up and not realized it. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks

You are so welcome 💜

[@christinamichael4501]

Excellent tips learned a lot. Thanks for the info.

Using a clean up brush is a complete game changer! I’m currently still using the ELF concealer brush. Would love to try the O&J products!

[@ericasciulli2890]

Great video! I've updated my nail routine multiple times from watching your videos. I always paint thumb first and then go down the line but what you said about pinky first makes sense so I'm definitely trying that on my next mani!

[@GoPolished]

It's amazing how small adjustments can make such a big difference! I hope that's going well for you :)

[@ericasciulli2890]

[@sweetGGbaby]

Thank you for sharing your routine. I thought I have a pretty good routine but I learned a few new tips and tricks too! Would love to try out either collection from olive and june!

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@serabella779]

Found this video really helpful, especially since I sometimes have trouble painting my nails because my hands will shake. The Poppy and clean up brush are really helpful for me as well as the INM Out The Door top coat.

[@GoPolished]

I like Out the Door Top coat as well. I do find that the Glisten and Glow has less shrinkage than the out the door topcoat. Glad you are liking the Poppy.

[@serabella779]

Laurie- I think by now I’ve nearly watched all of your videos and just love! Even when Piper tries to steal the show :) thanks for your tips.

[@amypetty3718]

Thanks for all the tips and tricks! I really enjoy your videos -- since I'm a Polish Freak!!

[@michelleparker3119]

Great video! Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I like how you clean up at the very end. I have been cleaning up as I paint, but the polish is still wet then and it tends to smear it and make a bigger mess. Your way seemed to avoid that! I need to do the maintenance too, I want to get right to the fun part of polishing and hurry the beginning steps along, and it shows in the finished product.

[@GoPolished]

yes, it works so much better when the polish is dry or mostly dry. Thanks so much for watching!

[@susanharrisonjohnson7816]

Great video . I love to see other people’s mani routines . That Essie colour is beautiful x

[@theprettyintellectual]

This was so incredibly helpful! I especially loved the tip about pushing the polish toward the cuticle before pulling it back. Thanks for another wonderful video!

You are welcome Sara! Thanks for watching!

[@lenacordell8800]

Thanks for this video, Laurie! I really need to buy some pure acetone!

[@suzannecox3578]

Love the idea of filing with the polish on I would never have thought of doing that as I always feel mine are a bit uneven and it’s the reason that you said they are uneven in the attachment, thanks for this so helpful . 😊

[@GoPolished]

Yes, you have to think about that. You can't always file by looking at the attachment. Glad you found that helpful. Thanks so much for watching ;)

Thanks Laurie! You are my go to for all things nail ❤️

Great nail routine tutorial. Like all the detail and especially the cleanup and how you round your edges. I love O&J as well they have the best systems!

[@GoPolished]

💜 💜 💜

[@lf4712]

Thank you. It was really helpful. I always wanted to know what top coat you use. Now I know. I love Essie because of the brushes. I will get the Tweezerman tools, they look super helpful. What I do when painting my nails, is I don’t paint the thumbs until the end so I can use them to clean around the rest of the nails. It is hard for me not to get nail polish on the cuticles, I guess i need more practice.

I found your KZbin channel and followed you on IG and was hooked. I appreciate the detailed explanations and always love your comparison videos and swatches! I know this takes a lot of time and is a labor of love, so thank you. Also, I was cracking up at Piper’s pig. 😂

[@justme-ll8qs]

I usually have bare nails but plan on painting them. After watching this video I realize all my past mistakes. This was perfect and I appreciate the shopping links to make it easier on us. Just curious why nail polish remover shouldn't be used for the final clean up of the cuticle area (you said using acetone was important at that step).

[@jackish1717]

Such a helpful video. So many new tools to get 😍. Lol. Also I agree Piper should have a cameo in your videos.
