😂 “grow muscle by rubbing your thigh with chicken breast!” Thank you for that as well as imparting your wealth of knowledge!

@lindsaycrimmins 4 years ago

I have been watching a few of your videos on the difference between dry, brittle, peeling, weak nails in order to figure out what to do with my thin and extremely peeling nails. I had them since Nov of 2021. I started using Mavala Scientique 2 months ago as directed and my nails are healthy again. I’m so incredibly grateful that I came across your channel. You saved my nails. Thank you so much.

I used to be a nail biter and this product was a lifesaver for me. I couldn’t get my nails to grow because 1) well, nail biting, 2) they were too fragile and the free edge would always break and/or peel, 3) the fact that my nails were weak made me think that I would never have nice nails anyway and it would estimulate even more biting. I started using it about 2 years ago, first twice a week and then reduced it to once a week. I’ve tried using it every 15 days, but my nails get fragile again. Now my nails can grow long without breaking and they look much better overall.

Used this in the early 80s: GREAT product. They did so much for my HS self esteem, Inhad. Nothing going for me, but I had pretty hands
Unbelieveably, I just started using this product again LAST WEEK after watching a bunch of videos about nails.

@PassionateEnigma 4 years ago (edited)

You make SO MUCH SENSE and are SO CLEAR and THOROUGH that it makes me angry that the vast majority of 'manicurists' don't have or share this information. I started using the original just a week ago because of your other video about weak/bendy nails and have already seen improvement. And now, I have even more precise info about why you shouldn't over-do it. I'm planning on doing this for a month or so regularly (2-3x a week) and then pulling back to 1-2x a month and using the Probelle nail hardener as a clear-milky polish in between. And of course, I've massaged in some high quality oils! Thank you so much for this info! I'm still working on not clipping/biting the skin around my nails but i'm getting there slowly with 'cuticle remover', light 'filing' and more moisturizing.

I simply cannot thank you enough for this review. Many years ago I used this product and enjoyed the results. Now I am in desperate need of a nail hardener, not just to make my nails look better but for the actual health of my nails. I ordered the original today because I need something to work FAST. Your advice about not overdoing it is invaluable. I am about to subscribe to your channel and watch your every move (without stalking). Thanks SOOOOOO MUCH!!

@Hooptie721 4 years ago

I just started using the K+ after seeing your other video. I am excited to see the results. I have always struggled with bendy, peeling nails. I recently found your channel and have been learning so much! Thanks for the great information.

@vascoemyer 2 years ago

Hello from Melbourne, Australia. I have thin and peeling fingernails - one of the many symptoms of ageing but I'm glad to have achieved old bones! Mavala is my final hope, will purchase a bottle this week - my family were acrylic fingernail pioneers late '50s/1960s & '80s, the irony of this siutation doesn't esacape me 😄

@lauraguida8482 4 years ago

I've been using the Mavala Scientifique K+ for 3 weeks & it has really improved my bendy nails that would tear. I love it! Thank you for suggesting it!

@reneewooding4629 4 years ago

Thank you! My nails have peeled all my life and nothing helped. Based on your prior video about bendy nails I bought Mavala. My nails have grown and the peeling has decreased significantly after about a month. I can’t believe it! I’m hoping the bending will subside as they grow out. I really appreciate knowing the I should not overuse the product. You are incredible! In the past , salons talked me into gels, acrylics and all the things that were exactly the wrong things for me.

@karencarlos3942 4 years ago

Thank you, ty this was so interesting. I really appreciate how informative you are, not just on how but also why. BTW, Congrats on reaching 30k subs! 💅💌🎉

@MoonMunchkin7 4 years ago

I purchased the original formula. I had it years ago, and was not diligent with my application. My nail care routine is now much more consistent, and I have done two, once a week, applications so far. Looking forward to less bending and peeling! Thanks for reminding me about this great product!

@lynnbarclay4241 4 years ago

Was a nail biter, wore acrylic/gel nails for years, buffed…basically abused my nails & did everything wrong. Consequently, I’ve had very thin, weak nails that would fold and peel off along with terrible skin around the nails. The Mavala +K hardener along with cuticle oil has totally changed the way my nails look. I’m finally proud of how nice my hands look and can’t thank you enough!

@andreaescobarcarmona 4 years ago

Loved the analogy about the muscle and the chicken breast. Very accurate!

@caityjayde96 4 years ago

Congrats on 30k!

I think I'm going to order the K+ formula rather than the original. We have access to both in Australia, but if the original formula is easier to overdo, it makes the K+ formula seem more beginner friendly.

@lee-annsmith8566 4 years ago

Thanks to your earlier video about Scientifique, I started using the original formula and OMG the change in my thin, peeling, soft nails has been AMAZING! I used it twice a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for 2 weeks. The improvement was better than I had expected! Now that I’ve gotten over the worst of the nail damage, I only use it from time to time, on an as-needed basis. Thank you so much for sharing this product info with us!

@sarahbrowning1837 1 year ago

Thank you so much for all your wonderful nail content. I've been following your gentle manicure advice for the past year or so, doing regular warm oil soaks, wearing gloves to minimize water exposure, and still, the tips of my nails have constantly been peeling, thin and super bendy. After watching one of your videos about caring for peeling nails, and then this one to figure out he difference between the formulations, I finally ordered the original Mavala Scientifique and received it just under a week ago. I've just done my second application today, but even after just one application, it already felt like they were slightly less bendy. I know it's going to take time to work, but I'm so excited and grateful for your caring and knowledgable advice to rehab my nails and hopefully get the natural nails of my dreams. Thank you!

I am almost 60, my whole life my nails are thin, soft, prone to peeling, no nail polish stays on longer than a day - the it will start to peel - most spectacularly the shellac from a "medical" Nailstudio, that started to jump off the nails as a whole piece at the next day, the day after there was nothing left.
Every MD, cosmetic person, ... I met in my life I beged to help with my soft nails.

Now I use Mavala for almost 1 month. the first 2 weeks almost daily (yes, I am impatient! ;-) ).

Today is thursday. I painted my nails on monday. On 1 (one!!! 😁) nail the polish has started to peel yesterday (wednesday) - gave it a drop of mavala already. The other NINE nails show NO sings of peeling yet. 🥳

I am So happy!!
Thank You for the Recommendation!

@traceygurley1 4 years ago

Thank you so much for showing me how to take care of my nails, proximal nail fold, and cuticles. Just after a couple of weeks watching you, my nail area has improved so much. No more bloody proximal nail folds…thinking that was cuticles, smoother nails, and healthier looking skin. I am keeping my nail area moisturized with jojoba oil and switched to a more gentle hand soap. I ordered the keratin+ nail hardener. I’m excited to try it. It will take time with my nails, but that’s ok. They have always been thin, bendy, and peeling.
I am truly enjoying learning from you and practicing self care. ❤️❤️❤️

@luciagarcia5272 4 years ago

I'm 49 and I've biting my nails on and off, more on than off, my whole life. I've been using the scientifique k + for some time now, and it's worked very well. However, I bought it to harden my nail sides which the bendy parts that keep breaking and it hasn' t solved that problem. Surprisingly, it's made wonders to my dried riged nails and general smoothness. I've been taking long breaks since I understood it could lead to more bad than good. Now, I know I can use on a more consistent use. Thank you for your videos.
