Introducing BuilderPot
At HONA, we’re always striving to create the best-quality products based on what you ask for. After listening to your feedback, we’re excited to unveil BuilderPot!
BuilderPot offers the strength and rigidity of a traditional builder gel much like our TrueBuild, making it perfect for structured manicures. The key difference? It’s in a pot. We know that some nail techs prefer working from a pot rather than a bottle, as it allows for greater control over the amount of product applied. This format gives you the flexibility to pick up just the right amount with your brush, making application even more precise!
This NEW innovative formula gives you the long lasting properties of TrueBuild with a formulation that’s HEMA-free, HPMA-free, IBOA-free, and TPO-free, BuilderPot maintains the same trusted hypoallergenic quality you expect from HONA.
