"I really loved doing this course. I’ve done nail courses through the years in person and online, and none of those have ever been as in depth and informative as HONA! If you’re wanting to learn how to confidently use hard gel as an overlay or for extensions, I couldn’t recommend this more! The starter kit is brill as it comes with everything you need. I find the small quizzes throughout the course really helpful too Xx"

"If your wondering if this is the right course for you. Do it. I've done so many online courses and the content be rubbish. This one however was so thorough. Helped me understand what techniques are best for hard gel and seriously level up my application! They're so thin now compared to how I applied before. And I don't need to refine anymore!"
