Inside Kote Labs

Two laboratories, 10 chemists, and a 4,000 m² facility in Riga - where every formula is developed, tested, and perfected in-house

Behind the Brand

Since 2010, our curiosity has driven us to create over 12,000 shades and some of the safest UV nail coatings on the market.

Why kote

About us

Our story began in 2010, when we created our very first gel polish. What started as a small lab project has grown into a team of 120 talented people - with ten dedicated chemists working across two laboratories, one focused on coatings and the other on color innovation.Today, we proudly offer some of the safest and most advanced UV nail coating formulas in the world, all made in our 4,000 m² production facility in Riga, Latvia.For the past 15 years, our driving force has been the desire to create better formulas. We’re driven by curiosity - the constant challenge to make every formula better than the last: longer-lasting, glossier, and richer in color.

Color

Color is another part of who we are. Over the years, we’ve built a color library of more than 12,000 shades and continue to add up to 3,000 new colors every year. We know how to make rich and highly saturated colors, there is no color too hard for our chemists to make.

Culture

But beyond chemistry, what defines us most is our culture. We’re open, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. Every customer is welcome to visit us, meet our lead chemists, and explore their product ideas together. Many of these requests have turned into customized formulas - and that’s something we’re truly proud of.

The UV nail coatings industry is still developing, and we want to be the ones shaping it - together with our customers and their need for safer, better formulas, we want to deliver coatings that stay one step ahead of market and safety standards
