Abstract:
A nail varnish composition comprising, in an organic solvent medium:at least one film-forming polymer,at least one pyrogenic silica,at least one metal pigment, andat least one organopolysiloxane having on average from 1.99 to 2.01 hydrocarbonaceous radicals per silicon atom,wherein at least 50% of the units of the at least one organopolysiloxane are units of formula RMeSiO in which R is an aliphatic radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, the remaining units of the at least one organopolysiloxane are units of formula R'.sub.n SiO.sub.(2-n/2) in which n has a mean value ranging from 1 to 3 and R' is a monovalent hydrocarbonaceous radical,wherein a 10% by weight solution of the at least one organopolysiloxane in xylene has a viscosity at 25.degree. C. ranging from 0.0002 m.sup.2 /s to 0.01 m.sup.2 /s, andwherein said at least one pyrogenic silica and said at least one film-forming polymer are present in amounts such that the weight ratio of said at least one pyrogenic silica to said at least one film-forming polymer ratio is other than 0.0116:1.
