Olive & June Nail Primer for Long-lasting Polish Protection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love being able to do my nails whenever I have time. The kit makes it super easy and it always lasts over a week. Also, the colors are fabulous!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hoping to get a base coat to protect my nails from the damage I inflicted by using gel and dip powder for about a year. I found the primer to be very thick. It was difficult to apply it in such a way as to make a smooth surface for color. When I used it with a long lasting color, my manicure stayed for about a week. It was the first manicure I did with my new kit and I was mostly satisfied with the results. For the next manicure I did not use the primer, I used a quick dry color and the top coat. My manicure was peeling off with in two days. So the primer may have fulfilled it's function, but it was not an easy, smooth foundation.
