Olive & June Fall 2024 Review & Swatches: Meet Us At The O&J Studio
The Olive & June Fall Collection just released!! I’m not spiritually ready for fall to start yet but this collection is definitely going to make ushering in the new season a bit easier!
Have you heard about my favorite hack for wearing all of my regular polishes while keeping my nails protected and helping them grow longer? Plus my nails are never stained from regular polish, I don’t have ridges, and my nails never peel?? The secret is *clear builder gel*!
I wear a layer of clear builder gel under my nails most days to give my nails are super smooth, plump surface. It gives my nails so much strength so they can grow out without being bendy, I truly can hit them on anything and they won’t break, and they’re never stained from regular polish. It’s THE BEST! Here are some links if you’re interested in learning more:
My FAVE Clear Builder Base – It’s so shiny and makes my nails SO strong
My Basjc Gel Manicure 1.0 Masterclass Tutorial Course – If you’re new to gel manicures or can’t seem to perfect your at-home process, you NEED to watch this.
My NEW and Improved!!! Expert Builder Gel Application Course – My exact process for applying builder gel. It’s so much easier than you think. Once you watch this, you’ll be a pro in no time!
My Dry Manicure Prep Course – Prep is KEY for making your manicures last. This is my brand new Dry Manicure course where I go into detail on how to prep your nail surface, how I do my cuticle care + nip my cuticles, and how I shape my nails. This works for both regular manicures and gel manicures!

One quick desperation minute from myself!! I’m so glad you love these reviews and I hope you find value in them! If you plan on buying anything from O&J (even if it’s not from this blog post), I would really appreciate if you used my LINK here. It costs you nothing, but it tells the brand that you came from my content and helps support me and the time that it takes for me to make these posts :) This is my full time job now and any support is GREATLY appreciated! This goes for any content creator that you follow as well!! It helps us grow and tells the brand that we are really driving sales/traffic for them :) ok lets get into the post!!
First off, this collection is called “Meet Us At The O&J Studio” and it has an artsy dark academia kind of vibe going for it. There are seven new colors and they’re all pretty unique I’d say! Let’s get into the collection:
Self Portrait
Color Description: Cool pastel blue-toned grey polish
How It Paints: This is a classic O&J pastel polish that I think looks best with 2 or 3 thin coats! It’s definitely more grey leaning once you have all of the layers on.
Similar Colors: BP, Rink and Cheers!
Sculpture Wing
Color Description: Cool lavender neutral polish
How It Paints: I really enjoyed using this color because even thought it’s a pastel, it felt like it had a thinner consistency than some others and it painted really nicely with very little streaks!!
Similar Colors: The Usual and TT
Museum Date
Color Description: Chocolate brown with rainbow shimmer
How It Paints: Ok this polish was a surprising favorite for me!!! I absolutely loved how it looked in the sun with the rainbow shimmers and it was really easy to paint with because the base has a slightly sheer quality to it, which I love (as you know :))
Similar Colors: honestly this one is very unique!
Patron Of The Arts
Color Description: Dusty sheer rosy brown
How It Paints: This polish is a slightly sheer/jelly rosy brown! If you loved Shacked from the fall collection last year, I think you’ll love this polish! It’s gorgeous!
Similar Colors: Shacket or Fawn
Garnet Glass
Color Description: Scarlet jelly polish
How It Paints: Another easy favorite for me from this collection! This is a deep scarlet jelly polish that looks so glassy and shiny with two coats. I love these types of colors in the fall, and I’m SO happy that there’s a jelly scarlet now! Because of its consistency, when you paint two coats, it doesn’t get darker / look almost black like some darker polishes do.
Similar Colors: Luxe Loafer, SC and Obsessed
Still Life of Flowers
Color Description: Cool mossy green polish
How It Paints: This is an opaque cooler medium green that I really enjoyed painting with! It went on smoothly with no streaks with two coats. I think the cool tones in this polish make it a very wearable green too!
Similar Colors: Cucumber Sandwich
Girl With The Pearl Nail Polish
Color Description: Pearly iridescent golden polish
How It Paints: This one is pretty iridescent/sheer with a golden pearly finish! I was really surprised to see the golden effect in the sun, especially compared to the other pearly polishes in O&J’s collection. It’s beautiful! *this one is only available with the full mani system*
Similar Colors: Atlas and Freshwater
Kara’s Fave:
Museum Date or Garnet Glass! Both so unique to the O&J collection and so beautiful for fall!! Which ones are your faves?!
