My nails are a mess this winter. Between shoveling snow in below freezing temperatures and washing dishes without always wearing rubber gloves, my nails have split and broken in spite of me taking biotin, using nail treatment products, and having trimmed them about two weeks ago. Nevertheless, lately I’ve been trying to keep them covered …
Shopping Local at Walgreens/CVS When picking up a prescription at CVS a week or so ago, I noticed they were putting up an end aisle display of Olive and June Nails products. I was a little bit surprised that it took so long for O&J to show up at CVS since, as I’m sure you …
It’s been a busy several weeks, and today is no different. I’m off to a concert in beautiful Rockport MA to hear Yulianna Avdeeva, – a pianist who was the First Prize winner of the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition. She’s playing preludes by Chopin and Shostakovich, two of my favorite composers. I’m hoping the …
Because I’ve been trying to get my gardens in order, I haven’t been wearing nail polish very often. As a result, some of my nails broke while digging or using a variety of gardening tools. Boo. Even though I have more to do, I decided to paint my nails this weekend. I ordered a few …
The two green polishes I bought from Olive & June a few months ago have been sitting unopened wrapped up in the bubble wrap that they arrived in. Thinking about St. Patrick’s Day, I thought this was the perfect time to choose one of them. Frankly, I don’t remember buying “Touchdown!“, a medium green that …
I forgot all about Olive and June‘s sole yearly sale around Black Friday when I placed my order for a few polishes a couple of weeks ago. They arrived last week along with a free bottle of Long-Lasting Topcoat and Quick Dry Topcoat, both of which I need. So I think the two bottles of …
Last night before going to bed, I decided to change my nail polish. I reached for a polish that I don’t remember buying, but I must have. I don’t think I have worn it previously, and it was unopened and still wrapped in the bubble wrap that it came in. From Olive and June‘s Long-lasting …
When it comes to nail polish, I’m into reds these days. The cabernet colored shade, “Obsessed”, was my Thanksgiving favorite. Now, I’m in love with “Lipstick Stain“, a new long wearing polish from Olive and June that I bought during the pre-Black Friday sale. Although Olive and June describes Lipstick Stain as a “deep berry”, …
As the holidays are coming up, think about red polish for your nails. I have found my red! Actually, Obsessed came in the Valentine’s Day Mini Set I bought last January. How did I let it sit around for almost a year before trying it? Although I often don’t wear very dark polish, this one …
Because I’ve been working so hard in my garden, it just didn’t make sense to paint my nails. The bluestone and marble chips that I was putting onto my walkway did a number on my nails. I ended up having to file them down, but they sure do look better than they did. I love …
Although Olive & June nail products aren’t 100% perfect, you know I love them. Even the Quick Dry formula that I wrote about two weeks ago ended up lasting me a week! Right now, Olive & June is selling their Mani Jetsetter kit of minis as their best-selling gift for Mother’s Day. Whether you are a mother, …
The State of My Nails Over the past 3 months, I haven’t exactly been taking the best care of my nails. Yet, thanks to Olive & June and the occasional Natrol Extra Strength 5000 mcg Biotin tabs, my nails look pretty darn good. I’m hoping that people will look at my nails instead of my …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links There’s no secret, I adore Olive & June polishes and nail care products. So this year, when I noticed that Olive & June was selling both Christmas Advent calendars ($65 original price) and Hanukah nightly calendars ($55 original price), I thought maybe I should pick up a Hanukah calendar. It …
