General Care
I wholeheartedly recommend starting with the system! It has everything you need. Use code SEEMAV20 for 20% off.
The Mani System – Olive and June
For pedis! The built-in footrest is a game changer. Use code SEEMAV20 for 20% off!
The Pedi System – Olive and June
The BEST base coat. I'm sensitive to the ingredient PVB - it makes my nails peel. This base coat has made a huge difference.
Nature Strong Vegan* Base Coat - OPI
I usually use this as a second top coat on day 2! I love the shine.
Seche Vive Nail Gel - Clear - 0.5oz
My day 1 top coat
Super Glossy Top Coat
My favorite cuticle remover. Leave it on for 15-20 seconds and use a thumbnail or tool to push cuticles back. Works beautifully.
Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover
Glass files are supposedly much better for your nails! The small works great - no need to spend extra on the larger one.
Bliss Kiss Czech Crystal Nail File & Case
Helps so much, especially when painting my dominant hand!
The Poppy – Olive and June
I won't paint my nails without this.
Dry Drops – Olive and June
I prefer 100% acetone for polish remover.
Acetone Nail Polish Remover - 6oz - up&up™
The best value for cuticle oil! I keep this on my nightstand.
Cliganic Organic Jojoba Oil 100% Pure 4oz
Fill these with cuticle oil and keep them in your purse, car, and nightstand! Use them whenever you have a spare minute.
3-Pack 6ml Refillable Cuticle Oil Pens
Someone on IG recommended this acetone dispenser, and I love it! Great for cotton balls or a cleanup brush.
Acetone Pump Dispenser
Dip this in polish remover and use it to wipe polish off of your cuticles and skin! Before top coat.
Clean Up Brush
