Do This Instead of Gel-X

If you’re tired of the time, cost, or damage from Gel-X nails—but still want that salon-level look—there’s a better way. Olive & June Press-On Nails are changing the game for moms, busy women, and anyone craving cute nails without the upkeep.

Why I Ditched Gel-X

$60+ per set, every 2–3 weeks
Hours in the salon
Weak, damaged nails over time
Not realistic for everyday mom life

What I Use Instead: Olive & June Press-Ons

These are salon-style press-ons that take 10 minutes to apply, last up to 10 days, and come in modern, natural shapes and colors. Here are my favorite sets:

Tips for Long-Lasting Wear

Buff your natural nails first
Use Olive & June’s glue or brush-on nail glue
Avoid soaking your hands the first 12 hours
