You’ve got your dream Livi manicures—perfect shades, zero dry time, compliments rolling in. But what happens when you don’t use them all at once? (Because, let’s be honest, self-control is real.)
Good news: Your Livi manicures have a shelf life of about six months once opened, and with a little TLC, you can stretch that as long as possible. Here’s how to keep them fresh, flexible, and ready for their next debut.
1. Seal the Deal—Literally
Once you open a set, oxygen starts working against you. Always press the strips back into the original plastic sleeve and seal it tight with the adhesive strip or a little tape. No air = no drying out.
2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place (No, Not Your Bathroom)
Heat and humidity? The enemies of longevity. Your bathroom might seem convenient, but the constant temperature shifts (hello, steamy showers) can ruin the adhesive. Instead, stash your Livi sets in a drawer, a makeup bag, or anywhere cool and dry.
3. Give the Fridge Trick a Try
Want to go the extra mile? Pop your sealed Livi manicures in the fridge. The cooler temps slow down any drying, keeping them fresher for longer. Just let them come to room temp before applying so they stay flexible.
4. Keep ‘Em Flat, Not Crushed
Tossing them at the bottom of your bag? Not ideal. Store them flat and protected to keep the strips from bending, warping, or getting stuck together. A little organization now = flawless manis later.
5. Use What You Open
The best way to extend the life of your Livi sets? Use them up. If you’ve opened a set, plan your next mani (or share a few with a friend) so they don’t go to waste. Because fresh nails > forgotten leftovers.
The Bottom Line
Livi manicures are low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way. Seal ‘em, store ‘em smartly, and get every last use out of your favorite shades. Because no one likes a wasted mani.
