Why use a silicon & UV-protective nail polish during chemotherapy?

Great question! The answer is quite simple. Some chemotherapies are photosensitising, which can cause nails to darken and become even more damaged. An adapted nail polish helps to prevent or even protect against these effects. Plus, silicon strengthens and hardens weakened nails to avoid further breakage.

 

How to apply my silicon nail polish during treatment?

Proper application is essential. Here’s a quick tutorial:

1. Apply one coat of MÊME' silicon base coat on each nail
2. Apply two thin coats of MÊME' silicon UV-protective polish in the colour Blackcurrant
3. Finish with a thin layer of top coat MÊME

Start the application the day before your first chemo session, and continue until 6 months after your last treatment. Every 7 to 10 days, remove the polish with nail polish remover and redo your manicure.
