1. Bumpy nails

Do your nails have ridges or are discoloured and in need of a good polish to smooth them out? Cure this problem by buffing and polishing the issue away! Buffing not only provides an attractive lustre to the nails but also stimulates blood circulation at the base of the nail, which encourages healthy growth. This will also help to soften any ridges – be sure to use a topical treatment to even out the bumps and give a uniform and smooth nail surface.

Optical nail whitener.
Various external factors (colour pigments, nicotine, …) can stain, yellow or make your nails look dull. Their aspect is then particularly unsightly.
The innovative formulation of MAVA-WHITE hides the unsightly aspect of stained, dull nails, while giving them a natural and healthy look. It is an optical colour perfector for the nails thanks to specific pigments that react to UV light. When used under a nail polish, the shade does not change visually. No more colour that turns into a dirty beige, a dubious yellow or a dull red, when applied on yellow nails ! Thanks to matt finish when used on its own, MAVA-WHITE may also be used by men whose nails have been stained or yellowed, perhaps due to nicotine, and who are concerned about the apearance of their nails.
