MAESTRA: Turn Up the Colour | Mavala UK
This August, Mavala is striking a different note. MAESTRA is a six-shade Mini Color collection inspired by the universal language of music, from the buzz of a live concert to the nostalgia of a favourite song. Six vibrant shades, each named for a city and each inspired by a different sound, mood and moment. Available from 1st August 2026.
summary
Colour, Inspired by Music
Music has a way of capturing emotion, holding a memory, saying something about who you are, and Mavala wanted nail colour to do the same. Each MAESTRA shade has been created to evoke a feeling, so choosing one is a little like choosing a song for how you feel that day.
To bring the idea to life, Mavala has created the MAESTRA Playlist, with tracks inspired by each shade. A QR code on the collection lets you scan, listen and discover the soundtrack behind every colour, turning a manicure into something you can listen to as well as wear.
The Six Shades
- Capri — a delicious raspberry, evoking the lightness and sweetness of a Mediterranean summer melody.
- Montreux — a rich, deep violet, capturing the atmosphere of lakeside festivals and live music after dark.
- Medellín — a vibrant orange, bursting with the energy and rhythm of Latin dance.
- San Francisco — a soft lilac, inspired by free spirits, creative expression and psychedelic sounds.
- Bratislava — a crisp, bright white with a modern twist, fresh and playful like an inventive pop song full of surprises.
- Rotterdam — a striking midnight blue, inspired by urban nightlife and contemporary club culture.
The Formula
Every MAESTRA shade shares the same considered formula:
- Vegan
- Long-lasting hold
- High-shine finish
- Enriched with silicium, to help strengthen nails and prevent brittleness
The Mini, Since 1962
MAESTRA comes in Mavala's iconic Mini Color bottle, a beauty favourite since 1962. Its elegant gold cap, inspired by the folds of a pleated mini-skirt, has made the Mini a staple for generations of nail colour lovers.
The compact 5ml bottle isn't just pretty, it's practical too. Its smaller size helps prevent polish from drying out before it's finished, making it easy to build a wardrobe of shades without waste.
How to Wear MAESTRA
- Apply a Mavala protective base coat to clean, oil-free nails.
- Apply two thin coats of your chosen MAESTRA shade.
- Finish with a Mavala top coat for long-lasting shine and protection.
