One of the greatest joys in my life is painting my nails. As much as I love getting my nails done, I also love an at-home mani, and tend to do them about once a week. So, when the new Mavala Heritage Collection landed at my door, I couldn’t wait to try it out, a perfect combination of six autumnal shades in creme and shimmer finishes.

Swatches from L-R:

Santiago- a soft gold

Bergen- a deep red

Versailles- a yellow gold

Quebec- a burnt orange/copper

Walnut Grove- a deep purple/brown

Windsor- a pale pink

My favourite shades are Walnut Grove, Bergen and Windsor, as you can tell I much prefer the creme finishes to the shimmer. All the shades are fully opaque in one or two coats which is great, if a polish needs more than two coats, it is a no from me. The major selling point for me on Mavala is the cute sized bottle. I never finish a bottle of polish, it usually gets thick and dries up before I even get close to the end. But, with Mavala, I feel like I could possibly finish it before it goes dry.

Below I am wearing Walnut Grove and Santiago, and I just love how the combination turned out.

The Mavala Heritage *Collection is available now at Dischem stores.
