Calling all Colleen Hoover readers! I have some exciting news for you. Have you ever been flipping through a slow-burn romance paperback only to notice that your nails could use some love, too? Olive & June — the nail care brand dedicated to making at-home manicures easy — has officially launched #BookTok’s newest obsession: the Olive & June x Colleen Hoover collection!Â
The nail care company shared an Instagram video on Feb. 28 showcasing the Olive & June x Colleen Hoover collection with none other than Hoover herself. (Spoiler alert: she loved it). If you’re on #BookTok as often as I am, odds are you may have heard of the New York Times bestselling author. Hoover has written 24 books, including fan-faves like It Ends With Us and Verity, which both have sold over a million copies worldwide.Â
Olive & June describes this collab as “a love story to great books and great manis.” The collection features eight new polish shades and 20 new press-ons with names like Lily Blooms, Atlas, and Perfect Pinwheel (the girls that get it, get it)! You can shop the Olive & June x Colleen Hoover collection on the brand’s website or at Target! It’s safe to say that this collection has you and your nails covered.
From Megababe to Beats, Olive & June is no stranger to viral collabs like this one. Since founder Sarah Gibson Tuttle opened the first Olive & June nail salon in 2013, the brand has always been focused on “bringing beautiful nails to everyone.” Olive & June has had their at-home nail system and line of products since 2019, including everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-nails content. The brand is basically your nail bestie. From polish to cuticle remover to nail art brushes, Olive & June has prioritized making at-home nails less daunting for beginners. As someone who can never find time to go to the nail salon, you will definitely catch me watching their Mani 101 instructional videos.Â
Hoover herself describes the shade Lily Blooms as “the ideal shade for the namesake. Sparkly, deep, shiny, and heartbreakingly gorgeous,” and writes that Atlas was “the shade that made me want to try layering polish.” If the author approves, then so do I! My personal favorite product in the Olive & June x Colleen Hoover collection is the limited-edition Colleen Hoover Mani Box, which comes with a customizable O&J Mani System set. And, y’all, the limited-edition box is inspired by the cover of It Ends With Us. It’s literally beautiful. Not only can you choose what nail polish you want in this gorgeous set, but it also comes with a clean-up brush, polish remover pot, cuticle serum, and more!Â
As we patiently wait to see Blake Lively as Lily Bloom this summer in the It Ends With Us movie, painting your nails with the Olive & June x Colleen Hoover collection might help speed things up. Romance-reading book lovers stay winning.
