Another Mavala NOTD, and my favourite shade so far… Magnolia
Of course, the connotations of Magnolia are dull, dull, dull but I love how gentle this is, perhaps it’s a little ‘safe’ for most – but I think it’s feminine, soft and sophisticated with it’s satin finish.
As with the other Mavala shades I’ve tried, this applies beautifully. 1 coat and this would make a lovely french manicure application, 2 or more to build up on opacity. I think this was 3 coats. A nice smooth fairly thin formula (which I love) and quick drying (but not so quick that I can’t go over with a couple of strokes to tidy up my application).
This is love, what shade shall I go for next?!
As an aside, you may notice that my cuticles are looking a little dry (well, you probably won’t notice – but they are!) Any recommendations for something I don’t have to apply a 100 times a day to keep them moisturised?
That is a lovely color. I don’t think we have that brand here in the US. I removed my acrylics, so I am loving nail polish posts these days!!! 🙂
That is a beautiful shade! It’s like a very feminine nude. I’ll defo be on the lookout for it.
Unfortunately my nails are always farirly dry so I can’t really help. Although maybe a good cuticle cream will have noticeable responses after a week or so? I’ve heard really good stuff about the one from Lush. & always remove varnish with remover that’s for moisture and has added vitamins and oils?

love that colour.. i have something similar from OPI 😀
@Scarlett – glad you’re liking the polish posts. I’m a total newbie convert to polishes… shallow as it sounds, a pretty colour on my nails seems to brighten a dull day!
@Stephanie – I do love my nude shades, I have heard good things about the Lush Cuticle Cream… I’m going to definitely check it out next time I’m in town. Thanks for the rec!
@Nic Nic – Ooh, if you get a moment (or read this), I’d love to know the OPI shade?
this is so pretty! I loved nudes 😀
My favorite nude from OPI has got to be Samoan Sand. ahaha
You could try CND cuticle oil, it has good reviews. 😀
