MEME Silicon Nail Polish - Bougainvillea

Fragile chemo nails can split, break and also blacken because of the effect of UV rays. Using a silicon nail polish with an opaque colour helps to harden your nails and protect them.

 

The Bougainvillea Meme Silicon Nail Polish contains MEME's new formula. Its power has been truly boosted by combining it with MSM Sulphur which helps to strengthen the keratin network, for sturdier nails. MEME have also added an innovative ultra-antioxidant complex to protect your nails from everyday aggressions (stress, pollution, cleaning products etc.) which can cause irreversible damage.

 

While MEME Silicon Nail Polish does not have an UV filter, the Bougainvillea Silicon Nail Polish, does have a special pigment network, making it completely opaque when you apply two coats, like all opaque polishes in the MÊME range. This mechanically creates a protective barrier against UV rays.

MEME's Bougainvillea Silicon Nail Polish is a natural, nail-friendly formula with 82% bio-based ingredients :

• Organic silicon is now combined with MSM Sulphur to make it even more effective: it strengthens and hardens your most fragile nails and helps to densify and strengthen the keratin network, to remineralise your nail structure and make it sturdier.
• MEME's Ultra-antioxidant Complex [Buckwheat Extract - Crithmum Maritimum Extract - Vitamin E] shields your nail plate to protect it from outdoor aggressions and preserve it from the irreversible damage caused by oxidation.
• MEME's natural solvents derived from potato, wheat, corn and manioc help the manicure last longer and provide an ideal, nail-friendly texture.

Protect and strengthen your nails with four coats

• MEME's Protective Silicon Base Coat to protect your nails and strengthen them
• Two coats of MEME's Silicon Nail Polish for a properly opaque polish providing full protection from UV rays.
• MEME's Silicon Top Coat for a longer-lasting, shiny manicure.

 

You could also try adding the following to your routine:

• MEME's nail-friendly Nail Polish Remover to remove your polish without drying your nails out.
• MEME's Repairing Nail Care to help your nails grow (back) in good health, and soothe your sensitive cuticles.

 

Remember to close the lid tightly after each use, and if possible keep your MEME Silicon Nail Polish in the fridge to keep the texture fluid for as long as possible. The natural solvents used in the MEME formula gradually evaporate, so the nail polish can thicken and become harder to apply, or dry, after several months of opening. If this happens, it means it's time to replace it.
