When it comes to nail polish, I’m into reds these days. The cabernet colored shade, “Obsessed”, was my Thanksgiving favorite. Now, I’m in love with “Lipstick Stain“, a new long wearing polish from Olive and June that I bought during the pre-Black Friday sale.
Although Olive and June describes Lipstick Stain as a “deep berry”, I think that’s totally wrong. Or at least the color is not like any berries I know! It’s a classic lipstick red shade. Not a red with blue undertones, but a red red. I think it’s the perfect Christmas red.
Like all the vast majority of Olive and June long wearing polishes I’ve tried (and I’ve bought a ton of them!), Lipstick Stain is easy to apply. In fact, even though I applied this while sitting up in bed while watching TV, even I – not the greatest manicurist, lol – didn’t make too many mistakes or get it on my skin. A true holiday miracle. After applying my Olive and June Nail Strengthener, I put on two coats of Lipstick Stain and followed that with their fabulous Glossy Top Coat. Since I was going to sleep after doing my nails, I put a drop of Dry Drops on each of my nails, and they dried in a minute or two. Love!
Again, like all of the O&J long wearing polishes I’ve tried, it wears like iron! I apply another coat of Glossy Top Coat every other night, and it’s still going strong on Day 6, especially after spending 3 hours raking leaves.
I bought a lots of shades during Olive and June’s sale since they have them so seldom, but I am so in love with Lipstick Stain that I may just reapply it in the future when I need a new mani.
If you’re looking for a Christmas red polish for a regular mani or for nail art, take a look at Lipstick Stain! $9/bottle
