The best product
"Such a perfect product! Easy to use, buildable, effective, and all round amazing detail paint to create tortie nails"


Detail Paint is HONA's very highly pigmented, medium viscosity art gel designed for beautiful and intricate nail art. These gel paints are excellent for fine lines, swirls, details around the cuticle and geometric shapes, to beautiful french manicures. They cure with a non-tacky shine meaning they do not require a further topcoat after curing.
Excellent for full cover colour or for detailed nail art. We would suggest 2 thin layers applied with a gel bush such as the smile line brush, although you may find 1 coat is sometimes suitable for you needs. They cure with a non-tacky finish and high shine but can be used with a topcoat also for longevity.
All the HONA detail paint colour range have a very even and smooth consistency that does not run which will allow you to easily control the paint around the cuticle and nail bed getting a close application without running onto skin.
Cure time LED 1 min - UV 2 min - chrome work 30 seconds

"Such a perfect product! Easy to use, buildable, effective, and all round amazing detail paint to create tortie nails"
"Love that it’s buildable as switching between different colours was slowing me down massively. I will say it can leave the surface of the nail not super smooth due to building the product more in some areas than others to achieve the desired look, however none of my clients have been bothered by this."
"Absolutely loved this. I followed Charlotte's tutorial which was really helpful."
