Kinetics SolarGel Top Coat is a top coat designed for SolarGel colour, enhancing the shade and adding gel-like shine. Used with SolarGel colour, it provides up to 10 days of polish wear. The coating air-dries, so no UV or LED lamp is needed.
Nail polish top coat and key features
- Adds gel-like shine to SolarGel 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
Wait two minutes after applying SolarGel colour. Apply SolarGel Top Coat and allow it to air-dry. Full drying usually takes 10–15 minutes, depending on room temperature and humidity.

The story behind the product
Colour and top coat have different roles in the SolarGel system. The colour polish provides the chosen shade, while SolarGel Top Coat adds shine and helps the complete manicure last up to ten days. Both the colour and top coat air-dry, so this manicure requires no lamp curing.
The top coat is part of a two-step polish system rather than a finishing gel for gel polish. Apply it after two thin coats of colour, first allowing the colour surface to dry for two minutes. Room temperature and humidity affect drying time, so a touch-dry surface does not mean the entire coating is fully dry.
Thoroughly degrease the nail before polish application, as preparation affects wear. After applying the top coat, Kinetics Kwik Dry drops can speed up drying. Colour, finishing shine and drying drops thus form a sequence in which each product has a specific role.

About Kinetics
Kinetics is a Latvian beauty brand specialising in professional nail products and skincare. The company, Kinetics Nail Systems, is based in Riga. Its range brings together nail colour, natural nail strengthening materials and products for hands, body and cuticles.
The collection includes options for salon services and maintenance between manicure appointments. Start with your intended result: conventional nail polish, a professional gel coating, natural nail reinforcement or everyday skincare.
What is Kinetics known for?
SHIELD and SolarGel are the brand's two principal nail colour lines. SHIELD is a gel polish system that requires curing in a suitable lamp. SolarGel is a two-step nail polish system that creates a gel-like shine without lamp curing.
This distinction helps you select products for professional services or manicures at home. The colour collections include understated and expressive shades, while minimalist packaging is a recognisable feature of the brand's design.
Kinetics products
SHIELD gel polish, base coats and top coats
The SHIELD range includes pigmented gel colours, different base coats and finishing products. When choosing gel polish, consider system compatibility, nail preparation and the appropriate curing lamp. Select the base and top coat according to their functions and your application technique.
Colour is one part of the manicure system. Follow the instructions for each product when selecting and applying the complete coating.
SolarGel nail polish
SolarGel offers a glossy manicure without a UV/LED lamp. The system pairs a colour polish with a SolarGel top coat. It is an option for customers looking for conventional nail polish with a gel-like appearance.
Gel in Bottle and cuticle care
Gel in Bottle is a bottled gel for strengthening natural nails, particularly short and medium-length overlays. It cures in UV/LED light and is intended for professional application techniques.
Kinetics also offers cuticle oils to help soften dry skin around the nails. Suitable cuticle care products can complement regular manicure maintenance at home.
Perfumed Lotion for hands and body
The Perfumed Lotion line combines skincare with different fragrance compositions. The range includes lotions formulated with shea butter, argan oil and vitamin E. They complement hand care after a manicure and everyday body care.
Who are Kinetics products for?
Kinetics is relevant to nail professionals seeking colour coatings and strengthening materials, as well as customers caring for their nails and hands at home. Choose SolarGel for polish without a lamp, SHIELD for gel polish manicures, and cuticle oils or lotions for daily maintenance. Check the individual product description to confirm its intended use.
