1. Never Cut Your Cuticles 

The American Academy of Dermatology says you should never cut your cuticles. It can lead to infection and quick re-growth, resulting in overgrowth. Gently push them back instead.

 

2. Salon UV Light Weakens Nails

Salons use strong 60 Watt UV lights multiple times to cure gel nails, weakening nail structure. Livi manicures are already semi-cured, so they just need a 6 Watt light, and you only do it one time. 

 

3. Salon Removal Hurts Nails

Salons traditionally use acetone to remove gel nails, which dehydrates and damage nails. Livi Manicures are removed with cuticle oil, which nourishes and strengthens nails. Livi = happy hands :). 

YIKES. I'm ready to do them at home! Save my sanity (and my nail health) with that at-home gel mani system

Comments

I get gel manicure whenever I have a function or special event to attend. My nails are always a mess when they come off. I am going to try this new way to manicure.
