Nail Care

Find the routine your nails need

Eight nail concerns, each with the routine Mavala prescribe for it. Add the whole routine in one click, or pick up the single product you are missing.

Delicate, fragile, too thin nails

Delicate nails may chip with everyday knocks or break before they grow to the desired length. Frequent exposure to water and harsh cleaning products can contribute to nail fragility; nutritional factors may also play a role. MAVALA care helps protect nails that are prone to chipping and breakage.

Complete routine, 4 essential products
Starting the routine
  1. Phase 1: Apply a layer of Nylon Fibres formula to clean, oil free nails and let it dry.
  2. Phase 2: Apply a layer of Sealer to even out the surface. Add a second coat if the nail is very uneven.
Before polish
  1. Apply Barrier Base Coat to clean nails and let it dry before polish or a top coat.
  2. Apply your colour in two thin coats.
Every evening
  1. Gently massage NAILACTAN into the base of each nail using small circular motions, until absorbed.
When removing polish
  1. Saturate a cotton pad with remover, press it onto the nail and hold until the polish softens. Then wipe away.
  2. Repeat as needed for darker shades or glitter polish. Acetone-free removers may take longer to dissolve polish.
Pro Tips
  • Nailactan can reach the nail root through polish. For optimal care, apply it once a week to clean, bare nails.
  • Nail Shield does not harden the nail, but builds a protective barrier over it.
  • Barrier Base Coat is intended to be worn beneath nail polish or a top coat. Do not wear it alone.
  • Allow four to six weeks to see improvement. Fingernails take around six months to grow out completely, so more severely damaged nails may take longer to show a full result.
DID YOU KNOW

For very thin, fragile nails, MAVALA recommends prioritising protection and nourishment before using a hardener. Scientifique K+ may be used as a complementary product, rather than as an essential step in the routine.
