Mavala is a Swiss brand of nail polishes, and quite cute in their 5ml pots. To me, as I've mentioned before, 5ml is the perfect size for nail polishes to prevent drying up.
They retail at £4-4.50 or around $8-10. Today I used a line from their matte varnishes ( no.113- Ballerina). The best way to describe this is the colour of a ballerina's shoes; a sort of dusky pink. The matte finish is nice, but can come across as slightly streaky if only one layer is applied.
I applied one layer of the Ballerina & coated with another Mavala polish - their glitter & super shine polish (141- Magic Snow). Magic snow is a clear varnish with thin strands of silver. It's long lasting, as I've spent 5 days without any chipped nails. If you frequently use glitter nail polishes, you'll appreciate how easy it is to chip them, so 5 days is a feat in my eyes.
Each Christmas period, Mavala releases glitter nail polishes, and they are undoubtedly my favourite. Both highly glossy & glittery, they're perfect to add seasonal sparkle. Magic Snow is unfortunately from last year's Christmas collection, this year their glitters are much more eye catching in jewel colours.
Repurchase: I would not hesitate to buy the glitter or even glossy Mavala polishes, but the matte edition has been a miss with its streakiness & easy chipping.
