Mini Color Adds color to the nails while allowing the nails to breathe naturally. The Mini Color - small gold-topped bottle - relies on a simple yet genius idea. Nail polish, regardless of the quality, tends to dry out sooner or later, especially when the bottle is frequently opened. The MAVALA Mini Color has been designed to avoid this inconvenience. No longer a half-full bottle thrown away because the polish is too thick ! Other important advantages : the small size makes it an ever-ready companion for all circumstances and allows to have at home a wide range of different shades, without knowing the problem of drying out. How to use: Apply two thin coats to the nail after using a base and before a top coat. Note: All the MAVALA Mini Colors contain 2 small mixing balls, in order to efficiently shake the bottle before use to break the thixotropy inherent in this product and to restore its appropriate consistency and dazzling color. Nail Polish Basics: Modern nail polish is
composed of three principal ingredients : resins, solvents and pigments.
Correct proportions and blending produce polish that is easy to apply,
gives good coverage and adheres firmly to the nail. It should also be
sufficiently porous to enable the nail to breathe, even when several coats
are applied. Quality nail polish, properly applied over a protective base coat, MAVALA 002 or Barrier Base, should last five to seven days, given normal wear and tear. A layer of Colorfix or Mavadry 918 top coat applied at the time of a manicure, and every second day thereafter, will make polish last a maximum length of time. Nail polish that is too thick is difficult to apply, does not dry properly and tends to peel. It can be restored to its proper consistency with the addition of a Thinner specially formulated for this purpose, added very sparingly and allow to set before using. Never add nail polish remover or acetone, as these solvents contain water and will cause the polish to separate. Nail polish tends to thicken with time, particularly if the bottle is not closed tightly between applications. Avoid leaving the bottle open for more than a few minutes; keep tightly closed and in a vertical position when not in use. Nail polish becomes thicker when cold, thinner when warm. However never heat or expose it to high temperatures. One-coat, quick-drying nail polishes are useful for the woman who does not have time for a manicure or whose nails need a quick touch-up. They are usually less brilliant and less resistant to peeling and chipping than normal polish. Before applying nail polish, roll the bottle well between the palms of your hands as some colors tend to separate or settle. The small stainless steel balls found in the bottom of many bottles help keep the mixture uniform in color and consistency and facilitate smooth application. Before beginning your manicure, make sure that the nails are absolutely clean, dry and free of any oily film. Suggested Retail Price: US$4.00
