BIAB

What is BIAB?

​

A BIAB manicure uses Builder in a Bottle, a gel-like nail polish, which is applied as an overlay on your natural nails. It works very similarly to a normal gel polish, but as it has a thicker consistency it dries as a strong and durable layer - so you don't have to worry about chipping your brand new nails!

 

How long does it last?​

​

BIAB will last on your nails for roughly three to four weeks, after which you should get them removed and re-done or infilled - like acrylic nails. To aim for the optimum strength and growth for your natural nails, we recommend having regular manicures for at least 6 months.

​

• Strengthens the natural nail - ideal if your nails break or split quickly.

• Long -term results - stays beautiful for up to 4 weeks without chipping or letting go.

•  Flexible, but strong - Biab moves with your nail and prevents fractions.

• No extension required - this product is applied directly to your own nail.

•  Healthy nail growth - Because the nail plate is reinforced, your nails can become longer in a healthy way.​

​

Will it damage my nails?

​

On the contrary, BIAB can actually help strengthen your natural nails rather than weaken them. That's why we highly recommend Builder in a Bottle manicures to those with weak or brittle nails, nail biters, or clients who struggle to grow their nails.

​

As BIAB can be soaked off, your nail technician won't rely on drills - and that means less trauma to your nail bed. Making this a perfect way to protect, grow, and strengthen your natural nail.

​

Can I use it to extend my nail length?

​

While we don't recommend BIAB for long extensions, you can absolutely use it for short to mid-length manicures. Your nail technician can extend the polish smoothly over your nail to create a strong extension that lasts just as long as acrylics, but without any of the damage!
