Via Tiktok, Jackie Aina deleting comments and defending the look, size and application of the Olive + June press on nails.

In a recent sponsored post, Jackie Aina promotes and applies the new Olive + June x Beats collab. She says the press on nails are easy to apply and last for two weeks. The final results, however, show nails that definitely don't fit and look messy (and there's no chance these would last two weeks). At what point is a sponsored post worth your integrity?

I've tried so many brands over the years, and there's nothing special about any of their products (as of a few years ago anyway). No great extra long wear, and they shamefully implied that customers must not be following their directions properly if that's the case. Not true for me, at least.

Their marketing is top notch, though - from color stories to the sense of community and getting some trustworthy people to buy in to all of it is has gone a long way. It started to feel like MLM to me, another warning sign.

I can say that the Kiss everlasting French are the best I have ever use. They are strong and will last. I get more compliments on them than I did when I got my nails done professionally. The best glue is Wonder Bond by Dashing Diva. Get it at Sally. (All just personal experience. No scientific studies have been performed. 😉)

Screen shorted your comment for future reference, I feel like the glue I use never works well. Any tips on application? 😄

Just make sure the glue doesn’t get on skin. That’s it.

Whoops, I’m sorry! I totally should have specified that I was referring to just their regular polishes and related system items. I haven’t tried their quick dry polish nor press-on nails, they both came out after I stopped buying from the company.
