Abstract
A cosmetic composition for nail enamel having particulates, such as pigments and/or fillers, coated with fluorosilane is provided. The present invention also provides methods of (a) reducing settling, migration and floatation of colorants in a nail enamel, (b) reducing nail staining in a nail, (c) improving gloss of a nail enamel, and (d) increasing stability and improving rheology of a nail enamel.
Claims20
A non-aqueous nail enamel composition comprising a plurality of particulates, wherein at least some of said plurality of particulates are coated with fluorosilane.
An unpigmented nail enamel composition comprising a fluorosilane.
