Mavala Nail Polish - #396 Velvet

Description (on Scentstore)
Mavala Velvet mini nail polish is a soft pink with a cream finish.
These iconic 5 ml pots of colour are an affordable way to buy into this season's key trends. Unlike traditional nail colour, Mavala's unique formula delivers microscopic air pockets to allow nails to breath and is free from harmful ingredients.

Packaging
It is package in a tiny little bottle, only 5 ml each. Gold bottle top and clear thick glass bottom. The brush is not big nor small, it is just the right size for easy application despite its small bottle packaging.

Color Selection
Many. This one is the pink creamy color, but not just the average looking pink, this pink will compliment almost any skin color.

How to Apply
Like any normal nail polish, prepare your nail with base coat. Then apply Mavala - #396 Velvet once, wait til dry, then another coat, wait til dry. Apply top coat for longer lasting chip resistance.

Ingredients
Sorry, no ingredients written on the bottle, I will update as soon as I know. (Don't hold your breath.)

Coverage
One swipe is good enough on me, it is designed for easy application so one swipe does well. For a more intense color, I will usually use two swipes. It offers full coverage, not a clue on nail line.

Texture
Creamy and easy to apply. It is not too thick that makes it hard to blend perfectly, and it is also not too runny that takes time to apply. I think the formula is just perfect. It is one of my favorite nail polish brand.

Spreadability
Very easy, you don't have to be an expert in nail art to apply it perfectly. If there are some bad strokes, it will blend out nicely when dry. I love it.

Finish
Creamy, shiny finish. But for shinier look you should add top coat. I think by itself it is already has a nice shine, suitable for daily use. It blends out nicely.

It is quick dry so about 10 minutes will do but I like to let it stay untouched for at least 30 minutes for better result.

My General Rating
Mavala is by far one of my favorite brand of nail polish. It has a range of beautiful colors which they updates every 2-3 months. And each updates never fail to lure me into buying one or two. And all of the colors I choose I would love dearly over many years.
It is package in a tiny little bottle, only 5 ml each and for the price, I think it's quite expensive. But afterall, I never finished any one bottle of nail polish so a little bottle is fine for me.
Velvet is one of my favourite. To me, it is creamy pink greyish in color, very pretty and subtle, something to wear in the end of summer and in autumn, or whenever, really. The color is very versatile.

Overall Rating
5 out of 5. It is one of my favorite brand and the color never failed me. Love it.

Price
