Manicure
In collaboration with our
Manicure Schools in England, France and Belgium, we have developed a basic
nail care and beauty routine to help you obtain positive results in the
shortest possible time.
A complete
MAVALA manicure should be ideally done once a week.
Who ever said that nail care
is only for women? It is just as important that men and children develop
good nail-grooming habits.

The MAVALA Manicure:
- Remove old polish from
the nails by holding a cotton pad soaked with nail polish remover firmly
against the nail for a few seconds. Then wipe off with a single stroke.
Repeat the process until all traces of polish are gone. Remove stubborn
polish around the cuticles with a cotton-wool-covered cuticle stick
dipped in remover.
- Shape the nails with an
emery board. Lightly stroke form the edges of the nail toward the
center, holding the board under the edge of
the nail and at a slight angle. Bevel for a smooth finishing touch and
check for any remaining roughness. Avoid filing deep into the corners of
the nails.
- Apply
Cuticle Remover around the nail
contour. Gently roll back the skin with a cuticle stick wrapped in
cotton wool, working away the dead tissue to form a neat outline. Then
pass the stick under the nails for a final touch-up.
- Wash hands thoroughly
and brush the nails with a soft manicure brush. Nail polish will not
adhere properly if any oily film remains on the nail plate. Dry hands
before proceeding with the manicure. If desired polish with buffer.
- If nails are soft or
tend to break easily, this is the point at which to apply a small amount
of MAVALA Scientifique penetrating nail
hardener to the tips of the nails, being careful not to let it touch the
cuticle or skin. Allow it to dry before going on. This is also when you
apply Nail Shield or
Ridge Filler if your
nails require such treatment.
- Brush on
MAVALA 002
protective base coat to cover the entire nail surface, stopping short of
the cuticle. Let dry for a few minutes. It will remain slightly "tacky"
to the touch with enables the polish to adhere better. If nails are
fragile, use MAVALA Barrier Base. Both
products protect the nails from absorbing pigment contained in nail
polish and lengthen the life of your manicure.
- MAVALA's comprehensive
range of nail enamel offers you a large palette of colors suitable for
all tastes. Why not try something original and create a personal shade
by using coats of different colors?

adhere properly, apply in two or three thin coats. Place the first brush
stroke down the center of the nail, then fill
in the sides. Click
