Celebrity Nail Artist Approved: Iram Shelton X Mavala Stop

On her blog, celebrity nail artist and instagram famous nail inspo account Iram Shelton says some of the most common reasons for nail biting include Stress and Anxiety, Boredom, Perfectionism (the obsession of making nails look constantly manicured) and Habit: “After years of nibbling, it can become a deeply ingrained behaviour that feels impossible to shake.”

Selected by the nail artist herself, one of Iram’s products suggestions is ‘Mavala Stop’, a clear enamel with a bitter taste to deter putting fingers in the mouth or thumb sucking. We offer this product in two forms to help people overcome this common habit.

MAVALA STOP
Mavala Stop (RRP £13.75) is a clear enamel with a bitter taste to deter putting fingers in the mouth or thumb sucking. Apply to the entire nail surface (or over your nail polish) and let it dry. Re-apply every two days until the habit has stopped.

MAVALA STOP PEN
Mavala Stop Pen (RRP £18.10) is a convenient applicator pen filled with a bitter-tasting aqueous solution, enriched with nourishing botanical extracts to care for cuticles and soothe the nail contour. Perfect for on-the-go use, it dries matte and clear, making it ideal for both boys and girls.

Both products are available to buy at Fenwick.
