Strictly speaking this is not Mavala's offering for Spring 2013 but I'm sure most will agree that you don't get much more Spring like than sugary sweet pastels - mint and lemon shades forever being my favourites.
The four shades I am about to show you all do have a claim to fame, they were featured in Holly Fulton's S/S13 London Fashion Week show for a cool retro 60's vibe.
Mavala polishes are pretty dinky in size at 5ml each but they are wonderful for traveling with or for those like myself who never manage to finish a full bottle of polish!
The Mavala formula is free of parabens, formaldeydes, tolune, camphore, cellophane, animal products
and heavy metal (the substance not the music genre), the unique formula also allows the nail bed to breathe as it delivers unique microscopic air pockets.
Mavala White - Every polish collection deserves a white polish not just to rock the all out white look (try it in the summer with a tan I'm willing to bet you will like it so much more) but to use as a base coat for all those streaky pastel shades or to make a neon nail polish really pop! The Mavala White shade is faultless yes it is very stark but it is opaque in one coat which is pretty rare. My current favourite white polish.
Mavala Lagoon - A pastel toned turquoise shade that veers more green than it does blue, it is nice enough but not truly unique. However it does apply beautifully and is fully opaque in two coats which dries wonderfully well and even.
Mavala Lemon Cream - This lemon reminds me of cute little fluffy Easter chicks and again is one of those shades that really pops on tanned and deeper skin tones. Sadly as with a lot of pastel toned shades this does apply a little streaky and is not completely even in finish after three coats.
Mavala Aquamarine - Don't let the name fool you this a slightly duller than average mint green that almost borders on being a sage green. If you are not quite ready or perhaps simply don't like cutesy milky pastel shades this makes for a wonderful Spring/Summer shade. Mavala Aquamarine applies similarly to Lagoon - opaque in two coats with no streaking.

I have seen this brand in Debenhams recently, and have been put off from buying any of them. I don't know why, because I think the price isn't too bad for a nail vanish. I love the Aquamarine shade, I think it would definitely suit those with a tan or a darker skin tone. Really thinking of buying some of these polishes, the quality also looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, was really helpful.

Pretty shades :)
ReplyDeleteI really like Mavala polishes due to the size, you don't waste product by it drying out. Love the shade Lagoon.

These look lovely. I love the Mavala mini polishes as I rarely get through a bottle of polish, saves on money too (which means I must be able to buy more shades, because I'm saving right?!) haha.
