In the clean beauty era everyone raves about Australian-beauty-scenario and one of the must-do when you are in Sydney is to book yourself a clean manicure appointment – AKA naked manicure, at one of the city’s top salon Jocelyn Petroni (We all know that it is not an easy fit finding amazing nail salons…) but on top of that if you can go clean even better!

If you are feeling that it’s time to give your nails a break from your conventional shellac this new clean manicure is all about embracing the look of your natural nails with a shiny finish.

Did you know that more than $700 million are spent on nail products each year, making it one of the most rapidly growing industries in the beauty world? Sadly, so many nail products include chemicals and nasty ingredients that can potentially damage our overall health. The good news is that great brands like Mavala have partnered with one of the best beauty salons in Sydney Jocelyn Petroni to create the most relaxing, easy, and eco-friendly clean manicure.

Whether you want a relaxing manicure or you want to give your nails a break from chemical products you should make yourself an appointment for this clean manicure at, like, ASAP.

But what clean manicure or naked manicure even mean?

As Jocelyn, says, Clean Beauty Manicure and Pedicure is the latest nail treatment protocol that respects both their client’s wellbeing and the environment. It is the ultimate uplifting, wholesome, healthy, and eco-conscious beauty treat! They are offering a targeted CLEAN manicure and pedicure for their clients who are making decisions for their daily life taking into account particular regard to conscious consumerism. It focuses on the overall health of the nail and excludes harsh ingredients that can be found in most manicure and pedicure treatments. They have handpicked products and ingredients that help protect the skin and the environment, as well as packaging that is biodegradable and products that are produced in an environmentally respectful way.

In terms of nail polish, we asked her what makes a nail polish non-toxic and for the beauty guru, Jocelyn, nail polish is non-toxic when it does not include potentially toxic ingredients such as Formaldehyde, Toluene, Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde Resin Tosylamide, Camphor, Xylene, Paraben, Rosin, Nickel, Triphenyl Phosphate, Acetone, Heptane or Ethyl Tosylamide. It’s important to realize that what makes a good nail polish is not only what is not in it, but also what it is.

Mavala nail polishes are made with a natural wood-based nitrocellulose resin that allows the nail polish to be air and water permeable, ensuring the nail can breathe and remain healthy, Jocelyn says.

The process as all Jocelyn Petroni treatments, a thorough consultation is conducted and a personalized approach taken with each client on their nails. In particular, the clean manicure treatment is curated with completely natural and pure products – The MAVALA Crystal Nail Polish Remover, which is colorless, odorless, and acetone-free, is an eco-friendly nail polish remover safe enough to pour onto a plant.

The product is produced under cold conditions, reducing energy consumption during the manufacturing process. The Cuticle Softener is based on home remedies using ingredients such as Aloe Vera for the nourishment of nails and cuticles, ethically sourced Certified Organic Honey rich in antibacterial powers with healing benefits, and anti-inflammatory capabilities. It also includes certified Organic Lemon essential oil helping to strengthen weak brittle nails, as well as keeping the nails bright, shiny and clean, also acting as an anti-fungal agent.

To end, the natural nail plate is buffed to a glassy breathable finish free from any occlusive polish application, and a natural keratin nail treatment is applied to set and strengthen. Created by the formulators of Shellac gel polish, this CND Rescue RX keratin liquid is designed specifically to repair gel polish damage, for the next generation of nail treatments that focus on optimal nail health. 

The Results?

The Clean Manicure and Pedicure is known to last two weeks on fingers and six weeks on the toes and the condition of the nail plate is strengthened and repaired during each stage of the treatment – as opposed to traditional nail treatments that can be damaging. As with all Jocelyn Petroni treatments, the Clean Beauty Manicure and Pedicure comes with a Jocelyn Petroni’s renowned massage technique and reiki healing, enveloping each customer in the power of personal touch and the ultimate relaxation – even in nail treatment.

If you ask me or Jocelyn if it’s worthy to invest, we both agreed 100%, FYI this treatment is a healthy manicure alternative that does not just support your nails health but also the environment.  

So if you are unsure about to try this treatment or prefer to go for cheap toxic mani to safe some $$$ just think twice that the most important benefit is respect for the natural nail and the investment in the health and care of your nails. Not to mention, the toxicity and detrimental effects of a cheap toxic manicure…
