Galentine's With Olive + June

GALENTINE’S PARTAAAYYY!!!! Minus Leslie, Ann, April, and Donna.

There’s only TWO days left till Galentine’s Day aka one of the best holidays ever! If you’re not familiar, it’s basically just another version of Valentine’s Day but instead celebrating your closest and most beloved lady friends, single or not. Just watch Parks and Recreation and you’ll understand where I’m coming from. But ANYWAY, in honor of this special day for the ladies, Olive + June was generous enough to send me and my roommates 5 full boxes of 25 colors of nail polish for us to have our own Galentine’s manicure party. That’s right, 25 SHADES OF NAIL POLISH to choose from! I mean, what better way to celebrate your gal pals?! Take that, Leslie Knope!

I still love you though, Leslie.

If you’re not familiar with Olive + June, they’re an L.A.-based nail salon known for their in-house brand of good quality nail polish, as well as their manicure box sets. They’ve been featured in a variety of positive reviews in media outlets including Vogue, People, InStyle, and many more. And they just announced that they’re going to be selling their nail polishes in every local Target now, which, as a Target junkie myself, is SO exciting! So next time you’re on a Target trip, go check out their collections and treat yo self with some new colors for your nails! Because it’s impossible to go to Target without getting just one thing, am I right?! 😂

Anyway, as soon as the boxes arrived, my roommates and I immediately threw an early Galentine’s party to try out the different given shades. There were so many colors and ideas to choose to play around with. There’s no better time to whip out the phone for some Pinterest inspiration, am I right?! It’s always so difficult to pick what color to paint your nails for a manicure, especially when there’s literally 25 colors to choose from. But thankfully, it’s possible (and cute) to paint them by using multiple colors! One of my favorite trends going on right now are the ombre nails, in which you paint your pinky finger thumb nails the same color and three different but matchable colors for the remaining three. I decided to paint mine by following the trend as well as taking a little Valentine’s inspiration with light pink, red, nude and sparkly copper (for the ring finger, of course!). My roommates mixed and matched their nails as well. The more colors the better!

Thank you SO much to Olive + June for sending us your goodies and allowing us to have the best Galentine’s party EVER!
