MY FOUNDER STORY

Born from
my own hands.

I love beautiful nails. Well-kept hands give me confidence, every single day.

But honestly? Sometimes I used to catch myself biting my nails, and then I was left with very short, brittle nails.

Also, there’s nothing like walking out of the salon with a beautiful new set. But then comes the day they have to come off. What’s left behind are thin, broken nails and fingertips that burn. Every single time.

I didn’t want to choose between beautiful nails and healthy nails anymore. I wanted both.

That is how Merava was born.

I searched for the most nourishing ingredients and created my own oil. For a whole year, I used it every day, just for myself. And I can say it with my hand on my heart: my nails have never looked this beautiful and this strong.

Merava does exactly what I created it to do.

After that year, I knew for sure: I couldn’t keep this to myself. Because I know how it feels to look at your hands and wish they were different.

Merava is for you. For the woman who loves beautiful nails, but also loves her own. For the moments between salon visits, and for the day you no longer need the salon at all.
