Reviews

Beautiful, but not as pictured

"This color has the same quality, longevity, and easy-to-use consistency that I expect from my O&J gels. It’s beautiful in its own way, but it is NOT the color that the pictures show. It’s a warm purple-berry color with gold shimmer, not the cool red it looks like in the sale page. I’m an exclusively cool-toned person, so I was disappointed, but my daughter loves this color and it looks beautiful on her. Look at the pictures in the reviews before purchasing. They are much more accurate."

Huge confidence booster!

"I’ve always been self conscious about my nails because they’re naturally small, and no matter what I did, I felt like they’re never looked as nice as everyone’s else’s. Then I tried this gorgeous red polish, and it helped me completely change how I feel about my nails! The color is a GORGEOUS shiny red that instantly makes my hands look polished and together! Very professional too. What surprised me the most wasn’t the color but how it made me feel. I felt confident about my nails and I didn’t feel like they were so immature anymore. Instead of focusing on how small and childish they looked, which is how I always felt, I was able to admire how stunning they looked! This red also matches with nearly everything, so I never have to worry about my nails clashing with my outfits. It’s elegant to look nice with formal outfits but stylish so it brings that pop of color! This polish applies so smoothly and has an amazing glossy finish. It’s become my go-to shade and I love it! I do my friends’ nails for fun and they love using that shade around Christmas & Valentine’s! If you ever feel insecure about the size or shape of your nails, this shade is you go-to whenever you need a confidence boost! Olive and June, you’ve done it once again! ❤️"

Not opaque

"There’s something wrong with this gel polish. I put 2 coats on and it’s still clear and not a bit like the picture. More of a “hint of rose” type color."

— Celia (2/5)

Not as described

"My bottle does not look anything like what is pictured online and my nails are not this color either. It is more of a mauve with zero red tones. I am not sure what happened. I have requested information to return or exchange. The color is nice, but I didn't want a mauve color. I painted two thin coats of color and this is what I ended up with."

— Tera (2/5)

Color not as advertised

"The color Budget? What budget? does not look anything like the pictures. I'm wearing it right now, and with 3 coats, it came out looking coppery brownish red rather than the deep red in the pictures."

— Rae (2/5)

Great payoff

"This shade is playful and stylish without being over the top. It has great color payoff and applies smoothly in thin coats. It cured evenly and looked really shiny after top coat. Definitely a fun color to add to a gel collection."

— Taylor (5/5)

Perfect shine

"Love this pretty burgundy. The sparkle is just the right amount!"

— Jill L. (5/5)

Light Maroon

"Love the color but even with multiple coats I can’t seem to achieve the same depth as pictured. Regardless it is beautiful"

— Tanya E. (4/5)

Great color and name!

"Took more coats than I expected to get a rich color. I layered obsessed under it and that gave me the look I was expecting from Budget what budget. It's just not as opaque as I thought it would be. But fantastic color."

— Stephanie C. (3/5)
