Student discount
We know what studying actually costs, in money and in everything else. So students, and the staff who teach them, get 15% off with a UK university email address ending .ac.uk.
Why we are doing this
A shared bathroom shelf does not have room for a full routine, and a student budget does not always stretch to one either. Add erratic meals, the 9am after a late night, and deadline weeks, and skin and nails are usually the first to show it.
Mavala has been made in a small independent laboratory in Geneva since 1959. Our bottles are small because the formulas are concentrated: you use less each time, so they last, and the price never needs explaining to anyone.
So we are giving 15% off to anyone with a UK university email address ending .ac.uk.
How it works
Sign up with your .ac.uk email address below. We will send a short confirmation email first, so click the link inside it to verify your address, and check your junk folder too, as university mail filters can be strict. Once you are confirmed, we will email you your discount code.
Why we ask for a .ac.uk address
It is the simplest way to confirm you belong to a UK university, without asking for documents or handing your details to anyone else.
Where to start
New to Mavala? Four good places to start.
Mini Colors, nail colour in 5ml bottles and around 360 shades. Small enough to buy a few at once, and to change your mind every week of term.
Make-up, for eyes, lips and complexion. Our Perfect Concealer took gold at the Health and Wellbeing Awards 2026, which is a fair thing to lean on when the 9am follows a late night.
Mavala Stop, for nail biting. The product we are best known for, and the one people reach for in deadline season.
Mavala Scientifique K+, if your nails have gone soft or started splitting. Brush it along the nail tips two or three times a week and leave it to work.
