This limited-edition shade from Olive & June blends rich color with a subtle sublight shimmer inspired by The Mandalorian & Grogu, formulated to deliver salon-quality results at home. The polish is vegan, cruelty-free, and made without HEMA and several other harsh ingredients, giving you a long-lasting finish that removes easily without aggressive scraping.

How do I get the longest-lasting manicure with this gel polish?

For maximum wear, follow the Olive & June three-step routine: Gel Base Coat, two thin coats of color, and Gel Top Coat, curing between each application. Proper nail prep and thin, even layers reduce lifting and help the polish last up to 21 days.

• Begin with clean, dry nails and a light buff to remove shine.
• Apply Gel Base Coat and cure per lamp instructions to bond the polish.
• Use one thin coat of color, cure 2 minutes in an Olive & June LED lamp, repeat, then finish with Gel Top Coat and final cure.
• Seal edges and keep layers thin to prevent chipping and wrinkling.

What makes this formula safer for frequent gel wearers?

This gel polish is HEMA-free and excludes common harsh ingredients like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP, offering a cleaner formulation without sacrificing performance. The brand also designs the polish for gentle, damage-free soak-off removal, which is kinder to natural nails over repeated applications.

• Formulated without HEMA and 15 other potentially harmful compounds.
• Vegan and cruelty-free ingredients reduce exposure to animal-derived additives.
• Simple soak-off removal minimizes mechanical filing and scraping.
• Designed for both manicures and pedicures with consistent results.

Which tools do I need to use this gel polish at home?

You’ll need a UV or LED lamp to cure each layer; Olive & June recommends their LED lamp for the specified cure times and optimal shine. Alongside the lamp, use their Gel Base Coat and Gel Top Coat and a gentle soak-off system for removal.

• UV/LED lamp (Olive & June LED lamp for exact cure times).
• Olive & June Gel Base Coat and Gel Top Coat to complete the system.
