"Loads of sizes to choose from, don’t flex when trimming and don’t go white!"



Introducing our SwiftTips Half Cover Tips – the perfect solution for those who prefer a glue-on tip without the commitment of full cover tips or sculpting forms. Unlike traditional ABS plastic tips, HONA Half Cover Tips are crafted from soft builder gel, ensuring a more natural feel, improved durability, and effortless soak-off removal.
How to Apply:
- Prep the Natural Nail – Ensure the nail is clean and ready for application.
- Apply a small amount of glue – Place it in the well of the half tip.
- Attach at a 45° Angle – Press the tip onto the free edge to avoid bubbles and air pockets. Hold for approx. 10 seconds until secure.
- Blend the Join – Lightly refine the transition with a 180-grit file and remove dust with acetone.
- Seal with PureBond – Then proceed with PureFoundation or TrueSculpt for the perfect gel overlay.
- For Longer Extensions – We recommend TrueSculpt for additional strength and support.
Why You'll Love Them:
- Soak-off removals
- Soft builder gel material
- Customisable length – Ideal for natural-looking extensions or dramatic transformations.
- No need for sculpting forms
SAFER - HONA collaborated with the world's leading chemist Jim McConnell to create the incredible SwiftTip gels. What this means is that you know the product has been made to the highest standards. No toxic ingredients have been used which has greatly reduced the risk of causing yourself or a client an allergy.
STRONGER - Using state-of-the-art polymer for the full cover tips, alongside the superior ingredients found in the adhesive gels the HONA SwiftTip formula was created to be the strongest hypoallergenic brand it can be. It will give up to 4+ weeks of use while giving little to no heat spike.
SMARTER - By choosing the HONA extension system you are future-proofing you and your salon. Developing an allergy to your current gel/extension can be costly as you must rebrand. A hypoallergenic system like ours will greatly reduce the chances of you developing an allergy - future-proofing yourself.
TRANSPARENCY - HONA will not only be able to tell you the exact day your product was created but the name of the person who created it along with the exact location. This knowledge combined with the 100% transparent label means you can fact check all our claims.
