Weak and brittle nails are a common concern caused by a myriad of things from diet and neglect through to using synthetic nail treatments on repeat. Don’t despair! Nails can be restored to a normal, healthy state in 4-6 weeks by diligently following this treatment protocol. The key here is ‘the compound effect’ – small changes over time amount to long-term lasting change.

To Do - twice per week
Step 1 – Remove previous coat of nail polish with a non-acetone polish remover.
Step 2 – Apply Lightening Scrub Mask for Nails – gently massage a small amount of product on bare wet nails and cuticles (for 10-20 secs each finger). Rinse off with luke-warm water using the nail brush that comes with the product. Dry well with towel.
Step 3 – Apply best-selling Scientifique from the center of the nail to the tip only. Avoid touching cuticles and skin around nails. Leave to dry for one minute by holding hands downwards - the product penetrates the nail to harden it by bonding the 3 nail plates together.
Step 4 – Apply Mava Strong – this is a protective base polish to fortify nails topically and reinforce their structure. The result is strong nails that grow longer and have an improved nail surface.
Step 5 – Apply Nail Shield in 2 steps. Phase 1 - apply over entire nail and leave to dry for a few minutes (nylon fibres will be visible). The nylon fibres from this layer form a protective network that acts as a strong shield (like laying steel reinforcements before filing in with cement). Phase 2 – apply a coat of sealer and leave on to dry completely. This layer covers the rough fibres and makes the nail surface smooth (apply a second coat if required). This product is excellent for protecting against weak, fragile and thin nails. Nails have a natural, strengthening shield that does not occlude the nail, allowing air and water to pass through naturally.
To Do - daily
Apply Mava+ Extreme Care For Hands to protect and soothe winter-ravaged hands.
PM ONLY, before bed – Massage Nailactan into the nail root to feed the nail with nutrients and stimulate healthy nail growth. Apply Repairing Night Cream to hands and wear gloves (included with product) whilst sleeping to amplify the restorative results.
