Splitting, breaking nails

A nail plate is three layers. When they separate, the tip splits and breaks away. Water, detergents and dietary deficiency are the usual causes. Mavala care helps strengthen fragile nails and reduce splitting and flaking.

Complete routine, 5 essential products
For every manicure
  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.
  3. Apply a coat of Colorfix over the entire polished nail, then lightly brush beneath the free edge to help seal the tip. This adds shine and helps your manicure last longer.
Every evening
  1. Gently massage NAILACTAN into the base of each nail using small circular motions, until absorbed.
Two or three times a week
  1. On clean, polish-free nails, apply Scientifique K+ from the centre of each nail towards the tip only. Avoid the nail bed and cuticles.
  2. Keep your hands facing down and allow the product to work for one minute.
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
  • Apply Scientifique K+ to the tips of the nails only. Avoid the nail bed and cuticles. It is best applied in the evening or as the first step of a manicure. Do not wash your hands straight afterwards.
  • Barrier Base Coat is intended to be worn beneath nail polish or a top coat. Do not wear it alone.
  • Nailactan can reach the nail root through polish. For optimal care, apply it once a week to clean, bare nails.
  • Colorfix can be reapplied any time the manicure starts to dull.
DID YOU KNOW

A nail takes around six months to grow out completely. Once a split has formed, topical care cannot permanently repair it, but it can help protect the nail as it grows. Look for improvement in the new growth at the base of the nail.
