Olive & June Summer Gel Nail Polish in BP Icy Blue is a HEMA-free, long-wear gel formula that delivers up to 21 days of glossy, salon-style manicures and pedicures with gentle, damage-free removal.

Bring the salon home with a lightweight gel that cures to a plump, high-shine finish. This shade, BP Icy Blue, gives a cool, modern pastel that works for manicures and pedicures alike. The formula skips HEMA and a list of other harsh ingredients, is vegan and cruelty-free, and is designed to remove without aggressive scraping—so you get professional-looking nails with less stress.

How long will BP Icy Blue stay chip-free?

When applied following the Olive & June gel system—base coat, two thin color coats, and top coat—this formula is engineered to hold up to everyday wear for up to 21 days. Individual results vary with lifestyle, nail prep, and lamp curing consistency.

• Expect up to three weeks of glossy, even color with proper lamp curing.
• Use thin coats for best adhesion and avoid lifting at the cuticle.
• Wear time can shorten with frequent hand exposure to solvents or heavy abrasion.

Is this safe for sensitive nails and what does HEMA-free mean?

HEMA-free indicates the formula does not include hydroxyethyl methacrylate, an ingredient some people avoid; Olive & June also leaves out formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and other commonly scrutinized chemicals. The polish is vegan and cruelty-free, formulated to be kinder while keeping professional performance.

• Formulated without HEMA, formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and 15 other concerning ingredients.
• Vegan and cruelty-free for ethical consumers.
• Still requires correct application and removal to protect natural nails.

What lamp and process do I need to get salon results at home?

You’ll need a UV/LED nail lamp to cure each layer—Olive & June’s LED lamp is recommended for best performance. Apply a gel base coat and cure, then one thin coat of BP Icy Blue cured for 2 minutes, repeat, finish with the gel top coat and cure for a final minute for a durable, glossy finish.

• Cure each color coat for 2 minutes with Olive & June LED lamp (times may vary by lamp).
• Finish with the brand’s gel top coat and a final cure for lasting shine.
• Follow the brand’s soak-off removal method to prevent damage.

How do I remove Olive & June Gel Polish without harming my nails?

Removal is designed to be gentle: use the Olive & June soak-off system rather than scraping or picking. Proper soaking and gentle lifting will remove the gel cleanly, preserving the natural nail surface underneath.

• Soak with the recommended acetone-based remover and wrap or use the kit tools provided.
• Gently push off softened gel—avoid force or scraping to protect the nail plate.
• Finish with cuticle oil and nail care to restore moisture after removal.

Who is this for? BP Icy Blue by Olive & June is ideal for anyone who wants a reliable, modern blue gel that performs like a salon service at home—particularly people seeking a cleaner ingredient list, long-lasting wear, and an easy, non-damaging removal process. It suits mani and pedi lovers, frequent polish changers, and anyone who prefers vegan, cruelty-free beauty without compromising high-shine gel performance.
