Revolutionizing Nail Strengthener: Mavala Mava-Strong

mavala mava strong review, the best nail strengthener

Do you have weak brittle nails that just don’t grow? Then read on as I’m about to introduce you to a product that will put all of that into the past. Drum roll… Mava-Strong! After extensive research and testing Mavala, a Swiss brand famous for their innovative and highly effective nail care products, have launched this new nail strengthener earlier this year. So we expect nothing less than revolutionary from Mava-Strong.

Maria and I have both decided to give Mavala Mava-Strong a try. We both have nails that are prone to breaking so it is easy to test drive a nail strengthener. If it works, our nails grow nice and strong, if not… well, hello shorties. Mava-Strong sounded too good not to give it a chance, and we did!

Read our detailed Mavala Mava-Strong review below to find out how effective this nail strengthener really is…

Claim:

Mavala says Mava-Strong “allows splitting, soft, thus breaking nails to regain their normal, healthy and strong aspect. It combines two actions working in synergy: fortifying and protecting.  …active ingredients combining technicality and efficiency will quickly improve the appearance of nails and make them more resistant and thicker.”

Use:

Very easy to use. Apply 1-2 coats daily for a week. At the end of week, remove. Repeat for at least 3 weeks. Otherwise, simply use it as a base (2 coats) before applying nail colour for a month or longer if you wish.

Formula:

The unique formula is full of natural and nutritious ingredients for nails. With strengthening elements like keratin and arginine coupled with nourishing tea tree oil and Vitamin E makes for a good combination to thicken your nails and keep them healthy.

Emily’s Verdict:

  1. Yes, I can confirm this nail strengthener begins working immediately. My nails were not nearly as flexible or flimsy once I put this nail strengthener on.
  2. Mava-Strong continued to work more and more over time and my nails got longer than they’ve ever been able to be before. I didn’t break a single nail while using this product for 2 weeks, which is unreal considering how long my nails were and how often they usually break.
  3. It is good to note though, once I stopped using Mava-Strong, my nails weakened within a day or so and began to break.
  4. I know I will absolutely be purchasing this product again. As someone with naturally weak nails, this product lets me have the long and healthy nails I’ve always wanted!

Maria’s Verdict:

I can confirm what Emily says in her review above. This product makes your nails feel stronger immediately after the first application and it continues working over time. Listed below are a few more positive qualities that I’ve found:

  • Colorless base. What I like the most about Mava-Strong is that it’s colorless, which makes it a perfect base coat for any kind of nail art. I’ve been a loyal user of Orly Nailtrition for about 4 years now, but it has a pink pearlescent which is not always ideal.
  • 5-Free formula. Mava-Strong does not contain Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor. The latter is particularly important as a nail strengthener is a product that be would be applied on your ‘naked’ nails daily for weeks, months or even years. I would not recommend using a product that contains any of the Big 3 or 5 chemicals – here’s why.
  • Accessible. It’s great to discover another great nail strengthener which is as effective as Orly Nailtrition is and much better as a base for nail designs. In Australia it’s hard to find Orly Nailtrition, while Mavala is very accessible – anyone can buy it online here and have it delivered to their doorsteps within a couple of days.
  • Strengthening Effect. Even though Mava-Strong works immediately I’d strongly recommend to use it for at least 1 month to feel and see the real difference. Underneath a nail colour or just as a ‘naked nails’ look, make sure Mava-Strong is always on your nails during that period.
  • On a negative side, Mava-Strong is a bit more expensive that most of nail strengtheners. But considering how effective it is and given it provides with a perfect, toxin-free base for your manicure, I think Mava-Strong is really worth it.

Extra Notes: Mavala Mava-Strong is super fast drying! There is no excuse not to use this product when it can be applied and dried within three (3) minutes.

SoNailicious Recommends.

Availability: in Australia – $26.95 AUD here, internationally – $19.50 USD here or via your local Mavala counter.

So guys, what are your thoughts about Mavala Mava-Strong? Have you tried it before? Or, are you keen to invest in this one?
