Kinetics Nail Polish SolarGel Honesty 635, 15 ml

Kinetics SolarGel Honesty 635 is an air-drying nail polish with gel-like shine. The silver shimmer creates a highly reflective coating. Together with SolarGel Top Coat, it creates a two-step manicure with up to 10 days of wear, while the 3D brush helps distribute colour evenly.

Nail polish and key features

• The silver shimmer creates a highly reflective coating.
• Air-drying colour polish that requires no UV or LED lamp.
• The 3D brush helps apply colour in thin, even coats.
• SolarGel Top Coat adds finishing shine and, together with the colour, provides up to 10 days of wear.
• Designed for application in two thin coats of colour.

Key ingredients and their roles

Nitrocellulose forms a thin polish film on the nail. Ethyl acetate and butyl acetate are solvents in the air-drying polish formula. Acetyl tributyl citrate is a plasticiser that helps keep the polish film flexible.

How to use

Thoroughly degrease the nail surface with an acetone-based nail polish remover. Apply SolarGel colour in two thin coats. Wait two minutes, then apply SolarGel Top Coat and allow the coating to air-dry.

The story behind the product

Silver shimmer gives this shade its striking effect. Light reflections and openness inspire the shade. Kinetics SolarGel Honesty 635 is part of the SolarGel system, in which colour and top coat are applied separately. Two thin coats provide colour coverage, while SolarGel Top Coat adds shine and extends wear. This delivers a gel-like look with air-drying nail polish and no lamp curing.

Wear also depends on how thoroughly the nail is prepared. An acetone-based remover such as Red Lizard helps degrease the surface before colour application. If the natural nail surface needs smoothing, apply K-Touch Me base before colour. These products have different functions and are not interchangeable.

The same shade number is also available as Kinetics SHIELD Honesty 635. This lets you choose the same shade in air-drying nail polish or lamp-cured gel polish. Use SolarGel Top Coat with SolarGel colour; the SHIELD version needs its own base and top coat.
