MAESTRA: Turn Up the Colour

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.

• 507 Capri, a delicious raspberry, evoking the lightness and sweetness of a Mediterranean summer melody.
• 508 Montreux, a rich, deep violet, capturing the atmosphere of lakeside festivals and live music after dark.
• 509 Medellín, a vibrant orange, bursting with the energy and rhythm of Latin dance.
• 510 San Francisco, a soft lilac, inspired by free spirits, creative expression and psychedelic sounds.
• 511 Bratislava, a crisp, bright white with a modern twist, fresh and playful like an inventive pop song full of surprises.
• 512 Rotterdam, a striking midnight blue, inspired by urban nightlife and contemporary club culture.

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

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.

1. Apply a protective base coat to clean, oil-free nails. Mini Super Base is the 5ml match for your MAESTRA shade.
2. Apply two thin coats of your chosen MAESTRA shade.
3. Finish with a top coat for long-lasting shine and protection. Mini Top Fixateur comes in the same 5ml size, or use Minute Quick-Finish when you are short of time.

Six shades, each in the 5ml Mini Color bottle for well under ten pounds. Available now from mavala.co.uk.
