Mavala Mava-Strong Nail Fortifying & Protective Base Coat, 10ml

Mava-Strong is a base coat, which makes it a different kind of product from the Scientifique hardeners despite sitting in the same range. A base coat goes on before polish, across the whole nail, and works protectively rather than as a treatment. It is the one to reach for if your nails are weak or recovering after gel, shellac or acrylics and you still want to wear colour.

If you want a treatment for bare nails instead, Scientifique is the product for that. The two are used differently and can be used together.

Specs

• Type: Fortifying protective base coat
