Just when you were about to give up on achieving a DIY salon-level manicure while you’re stuck at home, Olive & June’s Mani Bootcamp has come to save the day (…and your nails). It’s basically a three-week crash course aimed to teach us how to master the art of doing your own nails. Olive & June’s virtual Mani Bootcamp made its debut on March 22 and will run through April 11. During the three weeks, Olive & June founder and CEO Sarah Gibson Tuttle will go live on Instagram stories at 3pm PDT with live demos, questions and answers from viewers, and plenty of facetime with Olive & June fans—which we all need a bit more of at the moment, right?
Mani Bootcamp’s goal is to help us non-professionals become bona fide pros after the first week and move our way up to more advanced skills in weeks two and three. Week one is basically manicuring 101, introducing the basics and practicing the “art of painting.” Week two will introduce nail accents, teaching us how to do ombre and apply sticker adornments without destroying the polish underneath. Finally, in week three, we’ll be ready to nail advanced-level designs like french manicure and half-moon. Check out the entire schedule here.
