L.A. Girls' Favorite Nail Salon Just Launched an At-Home Manicure Kit
There's no question L.A.'s fashion and beauty set take their nails very seriously and with convenient (and adorably decorated) locations sprinkled throughout the greater Los Angeles area, nail hotspot Olive & June is inarguably a favorite destination. (Naturally, it's where I tell all my East Coast editor friends to get their nails done whenever they're in town.)
In addition to the salon's wide range of services and admirable dedication to vegan, cruelty-free, and 7-free manicures, Olive & June has also embarked on a new and exciting venture of product launches. Last year, pandemonium ensued among nail lovers when the brand launched DIY-friendly nail art, and since then, it's released a steady stream of equally exciting nail staples such as its very own line of pastel-hued polishes, and The Poppy, an ingenious universal polish bottle handle created with a faster, easier, more-professional-looking at-home mani in mind.
But it's the latest launch (out today!) that might just be the most brilliant and game-changing idea yet—especially if you often find yourself low on the time or funds necessary for regular, in-salon paint jobs. Nail lovers, meet Olive & June's newest sparkling product debut, The Studio Box ($50).
Essentially, this 10-piece Millennial Pink set not only serves as the newest, chicest thing to hit your vanity, it's also filled with every single nail necessity you need to satiate your biggest and brightest at-home mani dreams. At just $50, The Studio Box is practically the price of stopping in-salon, but instead, you're equipped with the brand's signature staples you can use over and over again from your own home. Our one and only question: How has no one ever thought of this before?
Inside each Instagram-worthy Studio Box, you'll find a chic, waste-free manicure kit featuring the aforementioned universal Poppy Handle, a set of straight-edge nail clippers, a nail file, a buffer, a super-handy-dandy cleanup brush, nail polish remover, a dreamy cuticle hydration serum, travel pouch, a placemat, a clear top coat plus a nail polish of your choosing, and O&J's exclusive five-step guide to achieving a salon-level manicure from the comfy vantage point of your couch and current Netflix addiction.
Oh, and did we mention each box features a built-in cell phone shelf for FaceTiming with your friends or taking mani-selfies and/or content-filled videos? We weren't kidding when we said this is one of the most brilliant new launches to hit our beauty-product stuffed desks as of late.
If you already feel set with polishes or certain tools, you can even customize how stocked your selected box is. For example, Olive & June's Tool Box ($42) boasts all the above assets aside from the top coat and polish, and the Everything Box ($80) goes above and beyond the Studio Box ($50) by featuring all the listed tools and essentials in addition to all of the O&J polishes. So slick.
As we mentioned, The Studio Box ($50) has officially launched today, and we recommend snapping yours up real quick. We're predicting it sells out soon.

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
