How to nail your
Livi manicure

How To Apply

Step 1

Prep

Prep your nails by shaping them with the file and push back your cuticles with your cuticle stick. Clean your nails with the prep pad (included).

PRo tip: avoid lotions & oils before and after application
Step 2

Pick

Hold the sheet of gels above your nail and pick the gel that’s slightly smaller than the width of your nail. Peel the protective film off of the chosen gel.

PRO tip: in between sizes? pick the smaller size and gently pull on the sides of the sticker to enlarge
Step 3

Press

Press the gel firmly to your nail, leaving a space between the gel and your cuticle. Use the cuticle stick to press down on all sides of the gel firmly.

PRo tip: the nail should not touch any skin (or it will not adhere correctly)
Step 4

Precut

Use the scissors (or clippers, if you prefer) to cut down the excess gel along the shape of your nail.

Pro tip: cut excess with scissors first. you can clip now or at step 6.
Step 5

Protect

Protect your manicure by curing your nails (including your thumb) under the LED light for 60 seconds (twice).

pro tip: cure twice (2 minutes) for extra durability.
Step 6

Perfect

Smooth the edges of your nails by filing (pro tip: filing in one direction help keeps it even and make sure you're lightly filing!)

pro tip: if filing is tricky for you, clip your nails to desired shape at this point

Don't forget these tips!

Avoid water, lotions, and any oils before and after application. Make sure to prep your nails thoroughly (or use our nail dehydrator) before applying the gel manicure stickers.

In between sizes of the gel? Pick the smaller size for that finger and gently pull on the sides to enlarge the sticker a bit.

There is no prescribed top or bottom part of the sticker: choose the side that follows the shape of your cuticle best and stick that to the bottom.

File in one direction (aka use the file from left to right or right to left) in order to create an even shape amongst your nails.

Place the gel as close as you can to the cuticle but make sure that it does not overlap with your actual skin. If you do get the gel on your skin, redo it - as it will not adhere well!
