"Perfect addition to your hard gels. I love a clear hard gel/builder."



Introducing our award-winning innovative Core Clear TrueSculpt, HONA's all-rounder when it comes to hard gel. Core Clear was designed with a purposeful blue-lilac tint to push the boundaries of gel chemistry. Much like how purple shampoo neutralises yellow tones in hair, this tint works to eliminate yellowing on the nails, keeping them bright and with a glowing healthy appearance. The subtle lilac/blue tint not only ensures the gel cures perfectly clear but also makes application easier by allowing you to see its placement more clearly during application.
Free from HEMA, HPMA, IBOA, and Di-HEMA, this hypoallergenic gel is crafted to reduce the risk of allergies while delivering unparalleled strength and adhesion. Whether you're creating natural overlays or high fashion, bold extensions, TrueSculpt is your go-to solution for long-lasting results and exceptional quality.
CORE: The Versatile All-Rounder - CORE is the go-to hard gel for nail techs seeking versatility and reliability. Its medium/thick viscosity ensures a robust yet slightly flexible finish, making it ideal for natural overlays and short to medium-length extensions. CORE’s self-levelling formula simplifies application, delivering a smooth and professional result every time. Perfect for clients who are heavy-handed or prone to nail stress, this gel provides durability with just the right amount of flex for comfort and natural nail health. Whether you’re sculpting forms or reinforcing overlays, CORE is your ultimate workhorse.
