Our innovative formula is fortified with advanced ingredients, enabling a level of crosslinking that surpasses traditional gels. The outcome is a product with unmatched adhesive properties, providing a robust foundation that truly stands out in the market.
This universal gel can be used in many ways it is a strong builder gel (no base required), it is an incredible adhesive for SwiftTips (HONA's soft gel extension system) and is also great as a strengthening overlay.
At the heart of TrueFoundation is a key ingredient that forms robust bonds with keratin – the fundamental protein in nails. This leads to dramatically enhanced adhesion, reducing the risk of peeling and chipping and ensuring your manicures are both durable and long-lasting.
