Know your products. Know why they're there.
Great nails aren't created by using one product on every client. They're created by understanding the systems on your bar well enough to choose the right one for the nail in front of you.
We choose our systems deliberately.
Our natural nail lacquer system.
Why it's on the bar
Dazzle Dry gives us a high-performance option for clients who want a polished natural nail without gel or lamp curing.
- Four-step air-drying system
- No UV/LED lamp required
- Designed to be used as a complete system
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Five-minute dry time after Top Coat
Nail Prep
Scrub each nail thoroughly with Nail Prep to remove oils and lotions. Use a fresh lint-free pad for each hand.
Base Coat
Apply two coats, allowing each to dry matte. If cloudy or jelly-like, warm the bottle in about one inch of hot water until clear.
Lacquer
Apply two coats of colour and allow each coat to dry matte. Keep product off the cuticle and surrounding skin.
Top Coat
Apply one layer after the lacquer has dried matte. Wait five minutes.
Revive
Use to restore thickened Lacquer or Top Coat. Never add Revive to Base Coat.
It's a system. Treat it like one.
The Dazzle Dry components are formulated to work together. Do not swap in random base coats, top coats or thinners because they're sitting nearby.
Our professional gel system.
TrueBuild
TrueBuild is HONA's thick, rigid builder gel designed for strength, structure and apex control.
- Traditional rigid builder feel
- Thicker viscosity for sculpting control
- Self-levelling despite the thicker texture
- Can be applied directly to the natural nail or over TrueBond
- Soak-off removal after debulking
Best suited to: healthy natural nails that need added structure, thickness, strength or a small amount of length.
When the client needs more structure.
The versatile all-rounder.
CORE has a medium/thick viscosity and cures to a very hard finish while allowing subtle flex.
- Natural overlays
- Short to medium-length extensions
- Heavy-handed clients

Maximum strength.
FIBRE is HONA's thicker hard gel infused with 10% fibreglass for increased strength and resilience.

Stronger isn't automatically better.

The service doesn't end at the bar.
Clients invest in their hands, nails and feet. The right home care helps them maintain that investment between appointments.
Palm & Sole is SOAK's dedicated hand, nail and foot aftercare range. Your job isn't to push product — it's to look at the client in front of you, identify what they need and make a recommendation that actually makes sense.
Palm Balm
Nourishing Hand Cream · 55ml
Our everyday hand-care recommendation for maintaining soft, nourished hands between appointments.
The client has dry or dehydrated hands, washes their hands frequently, or wants to maintain the result of their manicure at home.
Super Serum
Cuticle Care · 8ml
Targeted cuticle care in an easy roller-ball applicator, making it simple for clients to care for nail surrounds between services.
You notice dry cuticles, dehydrated nail surrounds or a client who needs to improve their at-home nail-care routine.
Sole Stick
Intensive Foot Balm · 50ml
Targeted foot care in a mess-free stick format, making it easy to apply directly to areas that need extra attention.
The client has dry heels, rough areas or needs something easy to use regularly between pedicures.
Peptide Palm Gloves
Serum-lined gloves with detachable fingers, allowing intensive hand care while keeping the nails accessible during a manicure.
A client's hands need more intensive care than their regular daily hand cream alone.
Salicylic Sole Socks
Serum-lined treatment socks with detachable toes so the feet can receive targeted care while toenails remain accessible during a pedicure.
The client has rough, dry feet and would benefit from a more intensive foot-care treatment.

Know what's on your bar.
The product and the technician work together. Great professional products cannot compensate for poor prep, incorrect application, under-curing or choosing the wrong system for the client.
Know what you're using. Know why it's there. Know how it works. Know when to use it. And know what your client should be using when they leave.
