  The effects Of Silicones In nail polish

  Posted by Zolveria on September 6, 2016 at 1:58 am

  okay so we add silica we create a matte nail polish

  if I add silicone  ie dimethicone to the nail polish formulation i am assuming it will dry my polish faster ..
  I know I can use these in the surface and spray my nail with dimethicone . but will it have the same effect in my nail polish

  Negative, Zolveria. Dimethicone will not dry it faster and likely will not be compatible with the acrylics and other nail polish ingredients. Silica not same as silicone.
