A flawless at-home gel manicure is a serious game-changer—but what’s even better? Making it last. With a few simple hacks, you can keep your nails looking fresh, glossy, and chip-free for even longer. Here are our best tips to extend the life of your Livi manicure.
1. Get Really Close to Your Cuticles
One of the best ways to lock in your manicure is to get as close to your cuticles as possible—without touching them. The closer the gel is to the base of your nail, the longer it takes for grow-out to show.
Pro Tip: For ultimate longevity, try gently tucking the gel slightly under your cuticle before curing. It helps prevent lifting and keeps your mani looking fresh for days. Need a visual? Check out this video for a quick tutorial!
2. Seal It with a Top Coat
A few days after applying your gel, swipe on a top coat to seal the edges and add a fresh layer of shine. This simple step protects against daily wear and tear while keeping your manicure looking salon-perfect.
3. Keep the Spare—It’s a Lifesaver
Don’t toss that extra gel! Each Livi kit comes with enough gels for a complete manicure plus a few spares. Safekeep those spares in the black plastic bag to store them away from light. If you notice a chip or blemish, you can swap out a single nail instead of redoing your entire manicure. Quick, easy, and no one will know the difference.
4. Gloves Are Your Best Friend
Hot water and soap are the enemies of a long-lasting mani. When doing dishes or heavy cleaning, wear gloves to protect your nails from moisture and harsh chemicals. Your mani will thank you—and so will your skin.
