Gel Polish - Olive, 10 ml

Olive Gel Polish, 10 ml by ReformA is an olive with a warm grey-green undertone and full coverage in two coats. A muted olive for understated everyday nails.

The grey-green undertone mutes the olive and gives it an earthy feel, closer to the neutrals than to the greens. It comes in a 10 ml bottle with a brush. Apply Olive over a cured base and seal it with a top coat.

How to apply

1. Prep the cuticle area with Cuticle Remover: apply a small amount to the cuticle, gently push it back with an orange stick or a pusher and lift off the pterygium.
2. Prep the nail plate: degrease it with a cleanser such as Cleanser, then dehydrate it with Nail Prep. Duo Prep covers both steps in one product. Then apply Ultrabond Primer for better adhesion to the nail plate. The primer needs no curing, it air-dries.
3. Apply Rubber Base or Base Coat in one thin layer and cure.
4. Apply Olive in one or two thin coats, curing each coat.
5. Finish with a top coat and cure according to its instructions.
6. Wait at least 60 seconds after curing the top coat before applying cuticle oil, so the top coat keeps its shine.

Gel polish curing time: 60-120 sec in an LED lamp, 30-60 sec in a 48 W dual LED lamp. Curing time depends on the power of the lamp and its LEDs, so check it separately for each product.

Frequently asked questions

Do rubber gloves really make a difference to gel wear?
Yes. Water and detergents soften the nail plate, and a soft plate flexes under the coating, so gloves for washing up and cleaning help Olive stay put. If you wear them for hours, a cotton liner underneath absorbs sweat and stops the nails going soft inside the glove.

How is Olive different from Mosses?
Mosses is a green with a warm yellow-green undertone and reads clearly as green. Olive has a grey element, so it looks more muted and more neutral.

Is olive suitable for an office dress code?
Yes. Muted, earthy shades read almost as neutrals. On short nails with a glossy finish, Olive does not come across as a bright manicure.

Colours on screen can look different from the real shade: monitor calibration and display settings both affect it. If you are unsure about a shade, get in touch and we will show you the actual colour.
