What are BIAB Nails?

What are BIAB nails and why it has taken over the nail industry?

If you're a fan of gel manicures, you'll love BIAB - Builder In A Bottle. It's the nail trend that's sweeping the nail industry. We asked our expert nail technician to share everything you need to know about the nail-strengthening manicure that everyone from Bella Hadid to Molly-Mae has made a staple!

What are BIAB Nails?

BIAB Nails 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 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 do they 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.

Is BIAB good for your nails?

Yes, BIAB is good for your nails! 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 nails.

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!
