"Such a brilliant colour, works with any skin tone. Great consistency and was easy to work with!"
"I've been using this for a few weeks and have been very impressed. It self levels beautifully and is such a perfect nude shade. I barely have to refine now after applications which is a great time saver."
"Amazing hard gel, long lasting and easy to work with"
"Beautiful shade"
"Amazing colour, very easy to work with"
"Lovely shade! A little thicker than expected but still self levels like a dream, gives me enough time to detail and refine. Felt little to no heat spike. Totally worth it"
"I had never used hard gel but was recommended this to try for more heavy handed clients and for myself- i was always a bottle BIAB girly but i have been completely converted- this is the most perfect consistency, so easy to apply and work with and the self leveling is out of this world. Buy it and thank me later!"
"Love the shade and constancy!"
"I moved over to HONA about 5 months ago as i was having a really bad reaction to the products i was using. Since using this product my hands have cleared up and i am no longer in pain while im working. It really has been life changing,"
"I’ve used this for multiple different nail lengths over time - both long and short. It’s lovely to apply and the colour is a great true nude suitable for a range of skin tones. I used it to help support growing out my natural nails (as pictured) and found it to be super durable for long nails."
