One of the best things about an at-home gel manicure? It fits your life—not the other way around. With no drying time, no fumes, and no messy polish, you can do your nails practically anywhere—yes, even mid-chaos. Our gels apply like stickers and cure to a hard, salon-quality finish in minutes. And while it might take a couple of tries to get your routine down to 10-15 minutes, once you do, you’ll wonder why you ever wasted time (and money) at the salon.
Here are some of our favorite (and surprisingly easy) moments to treat your nails—from the couch to chic in no time.
1. TV Time = Mani Time
Binge-watching your favorite show? That’s prime mani time. Grab a glass of wine (or a mocktail) and apply your gels while you catch up on the latest drama. Since there’s no drying time and no risk of smudges, you can move around all you want—by the time the episode’s over, you’ll have salon-perfect nails without leaving the couch.
2. In Bed, Because Why Not?
Yep, you can even do your nails in bed. With no fumes and no mess, Livi gels are bedtime-approved. Whether you’re winding down with a book or scrolling through your phone, it’s the perfect low-effort, high-reward treat.
3. While Pumping for Baby
True story: One of our customers told us she does her manis while pumping—because if you’re already multitasking, why not add a little beauty routine? With no mess and a quick 2-3 minute cure time, our gels fit seamlessly into mom life.
4. During Your Commute
No salon, no problem—your morning commute is another perfect time to get your mani on. With our portable travel lamp, you can cure your gels anywhere. Train, rideshare, or passenger seat—since there’s no polish involved, you don’t have to worry about spills or mess.
5. Bath Time Beauty
Kid in the tub? You’ve got at least 20 minutes of prime self-care time. While they splash, you cure—just another win for multitasking moms everywhere. And don’t worry—since the gels are stickers, a little movement won’t mess them up.
6. While Waiting for the Pasta to Boil
If you’ve got time to boil water, you’ve got time for a mani. Use those 10 minutes while dinner is cooking to upgrade your nails—because waiting around is so last season.
7. The Boring Zoom Meeting Fix
Let’s be honest—some meetings could’ve been an email. Use that time wisely and give yourself a quick nail refresh. With no strong odors and no polish spills, no one will even know (unless you show off your perfect nails).
8. Sky-High Style: On an Airplane
At 30,000 feet, your schedule is wide open. With no fumes and a compact lamp, you can easily do your nails on a flight—and arrive with a fresh mani ready for wherever you land. Plus, since there’s no liquid polish, turbulence is no problem.
9. Breakfast & a Mani
Who says you can’t multitask before 9 AM? Start your day with coffee in one hand and a nail upgrade in the other—because mornings deserve a little glam, too. And with Livi gels, you won’t need to wait around to dry before rushing out the door.
Anytime Is Mani Time
With Livi, you don’t need hours or a salon appointment for flawless nails. Whether you’re on-the-go, winding down, or juggling a million things, our easy-to-apply gels cure in minutes and fit seamlessly into your routine. And once you get the hang of it, you’ll be rocking a perfect manicure in 10-15 minutes flat—anytime, anywhere.
