What are BIAB Nails?

BIAB nails, or Builder in Bottle nails, are a gel-like nail that combines the benefits of gel polish and builder gel, a strong and protective overlay for your natural nails. Not like traditional acrylics or hard gels, BIAB nails are a more natural way to enhance your nails while being durable and protective.

BIAB is designed to enhance nail strength and promote growth while offering a glossy finish, making it suitable for various nail designs.

Step-by-Step Process for BIAB Nails

  1. Nail Prep:

    First, clean and sanitize your hands using a hand sanitizer or alcohol-based solution. Then push back the cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher to create a clean work space and prevent lifting.
    Next, buff the nail surface with a fine grit buffer to remove the natural shine as this will help the BIAB gel adhere. After buffing, wipe away all dust and debris with a lint-free wipe or soft brush and make sure the nails are completely clean and dry before moving on to the next step.

  2. Base Application:

    Apply a nail dehydrator to the nail surface to remove any remaining oils and for better product adhesion. Then apply an acid-free primer to the nail plate to prevent lifting and to improve the longevity of the manicure.
    Once the nails are prepped you can now apply a thin layer of base coat over the nail, make sure to cover the entire nail plate and not the cuticles or sidewalls. Cure the base coat under the LED lamp for 30 seconds or as per the manufacturer’s instructions. This step is the foundation for the BIAB.

  3. BIAB Application:

    Apply a thin layer of Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) gel to the nail. Start in the centre and gently guide the product to the edges, do not touch the cuticles or sidewalls. Cure this first layer under the LED lamp for 60 seconds to set the product.
    For added strength and structure apply a second layer of BIAB gel, use a brush to focus on building the apex of the nail (the highest point in the centre) for durability and to enhance the natural shape of the nail. Cure the second layer under the LED lamp for 60 seconds to make sure the product is fully set and secure.

  4. Finishing Touches:

    Once the BIAB gel layers are fully cured, shape the nails as desired using a nail file. This is the most important step for a professional finish. File gently to refine the edges and to get a smooth finish. After shaping, apply a thin layer of top coat to seal the BIAB gel and to add shine to the nails. The top coat also adds extra protection to make the manicure long-lasting.
    Cure under the LED lamp for 60 seconds to get a chip-resistant manicure. After curing, wipe the nails with alcohol to remove any sticky residue and to reveal the finished look.

Why Choose BIAB Nails

    BIAB nails give a natural enhancement by strengthening your own nails while keeping them flexible. Unlike traditional nail extensions, they look more natural and elegant, perfect for those who want a subtle yet polished look. This product enhances your overall nail beauty without compromising comfort or style.

  2. Long Lasting:
