Gorgeous base colour!
"Clients love this as a base colour for any nail art or frenchie! Compliments so many different skin colours as well."
TrueBuild is our strongest builder gel to date. Formulated for strength, structure, and performance. This traditional-style builder has zero flex and doesn’t require a base coat. Perfect for sculpting with control and building long-lasting, durable overlays.
We colour-match shades across the HONA range, but minor differences in tone or coverage may be visible between systems. This is due to the differing viscosities and formulation properties of each product type and is expected within professional gel systems.

How To Use
- Apply directly to the natural nail or over a cured layer of TrueBond.
- Apply a paper-thin layer and cure for 60 seconds (or 99 seconds on low heat mode).
- Optional: lay down a thin wet slip layer to help guide your builder bead.
- Use a liner brush to guide product into the cuticle and side walls.
- Tip the client’s hand upside down to help create an even apex.
- Cure fully, remove the inhibition layer with IPA if refining, or apply top coat/colour directly.
- For removal: debulk 80–90% before soaking in acetone for 10 minutes. Use a cuticle knife to gently remove residue and smooth with a buffer
