Abstract
A colored or colorless nail varnish containing, in a varnish solvent system, a film-forming substance, a resin and a plasticizer as well as a combination of (i) 0.05-5 wt % an amino or thio silicone and (ii) 0.05-5 wt % of an organofluorinated hydrocarbon compound, the total weight of (i)+(ii) being at most 5 wt % of the total weight of the varnish. The varnishes have an improved drying time.
Claims15
A colored or colorless nail varnish comprising, in a nail varnish solvent consisting of a mixture of organic solvents:
- (a) 5 to 20% by weight of a film-forming substance;
- (b) 0.5 to 15% by weight of a resin;
- (c) 2 to 10% by weight of a plasticizer;
- and
- (d) a mixture of:
- (i) 0.05 to 5% by weight of an aminofunctional silicone having an amine index of between 0.05 and 2.3 or 0.05 to 5% by weight of a thiofunctional silicone having an amount of thiol groups between 0.1 to 15% by weight, said aminofunctional silicone and thiofunctional silicone having a molecular weight between 500 and 100,000;
- and
- (ii) 0.05% to 5% by weight of an organofluorinated hydrocarbon compound having a fluorine substitution rate of between 0.5 and 95% and a boiling point greater than 30.degree. C.;
- wherein the total weight of (i) and (ii) is less than or equal to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the varnish.
