Olive & June Gel Nail Polish — You're Invited Lilac, LED-Cure HEMA-Free Gel, Up to 21-Day Wear

Olive & June Summer Gel Polish in "You're Invited" (Lilac) is a HEMA-free LED-cured gel polish that delivers salon-grade shine and up to 21 days of chip-resistant wear with gentle, damage-free removal.

This lightweight gel color combines a plump, glossy finish with a cleaner ingredient list so you get long-lasting results without common harsh additives. Designed to cure under UV/LED lamps, the system is built for home or pro use: base coat, two color coats, top coat, and a quick cure schedule produce an even, saturated mani or pedi. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and excludes HEMA plus other frequently avoided chemicals, offering a kinder option for long-wear color.

How long will this gel polish stay flawless on my nails?

When applied correctly with the recommended base and top coat and cured under an appropriate LED lamp, expect up to 21 days of wear for typical daily activity. Longevity depends on application technique, nail prep, and lifestyle—frequent handwashing or heavy abrasion can shorten wear time.

• Standard routine: base coat, two thin color coats, top coat.
• Cure times: 2 minutes per color coat, 1 minute for top coat under Olive & June LED lamp.
• Typical wear: up to 3 weeks for manicures and supportive pedicures.
• Maximize durability by sealing free edges and avoiding thick layers.

Is this formula safe for my nails and skin sensitivity concerns?

The polish is formulated without HEMA, formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and several other commonly flagged ingredients, making it a cleaner alternative within the gel category. It's cruelty-free and vegan, but anyone with severe allergies should patch-test or consult a professional because individual reactions vary.

• Free from HEMA and 15 other potentially harmful ingredients.
• Cruelty-free and vegan certified formula components.
• Gentle soak-off removal reduces scraping and mechanical damage.
• Recommended: patch test if you have a history of nail or skin sensitivity.

What is the correct application and removal process?

Apply a thin, even base coat and cure, then add one thin color coat and cure for approximately 2 minutes. Add a second thin color coat and cure again, finish with the Gel Top Coat and cure for 1 minute; removal uses a gentle soak-off system to help protect natural nails.

• Prep nails: clean, lightly buff, and remove oils for best adhesion.
• Apply thin coats to avoid wrinkling or bubbling during cure.
• Curing: Olive & June LED lamp or compatible UV/LED lamp required.
• Removal: soak-off with recommended system—no harsh scraping needed.

Will this shade work for both manicures and pedicures?

Yes—"You're Invited" is a versatile lilac that works equally well on hands and feet, offering even coverage and a plump glossy finish when cured properly. The formula is formulated for both mani and pedi use, holding up to the higher impact often experienced by toes.

• Shade: soft, modern lilac suitable for everyday and special occasions.
• Finish: high-gloss, plump look that reflects light for salon polish shine.
• Application tip: slightly thicker on toes for extra wear, but still avoid overly thick layers.
• Pairs well with neutral or contrasting accent nails for custom looks.

Who this is for: Olive & June Gel Polish in "You're Invited" is ideal for people who want professional-looking, long-lasting gel color at home or in a salon with a cleaner formula. It's a smart pick for those who prioritize durability and shine without HEMA and other controversial additives, plus anyone who prefers a gentler removal process. If you own an LED/UV lamp or plan to use Olive & June's system, this lilac offers reliable color payoff and a modern, wearable tone for a wide range of styles and skin tones.
