More information
What BIAB nails include
BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) is applied over your natural nail to add strength and structure while keeping the look slim and natural.
- Nail and cuticle prep to create a clean base and improve wear
- Shaping and refining the natural nail for a tidy, even outline
- BIAB overlay applied and cured for added strength and support
- Optional colour finish, or a classic sheer and glossy look
- Top coat and final detailing for a smooth, glassy finish
BIAB nails for clients who want stronger natural nails, not length
BIAB is a good choice if your nails:
- bend, split, or peel and struggle to grow
- chip quickly with standard gel polish
- need a smarter, more uniform look for work or events
- look best with a natural nude, soft pink, or understated colour
How your BIAB nails appointment is carried out
Your nails are prepped first, with careful attention to the cuticle area and any previous product. The BIAB is then applied in controlled layers to build strength, improve the nail’s shape, and reduce weak points.
If you choose colour, it is applied after the BIAB layer, then sealed for shine and protection.
Keeping BIAB nails looking fresh between appointments
To protect the finish, use cuticle oil daily and wear gloves for cleaning and gardening. Avoid using your nails as tools, as this can cause lifting at the edges.
When your nails have grown out, BIAB is usually maintained with an infill rather than removing and reapplying each time, helping keep the natural nail in good condition.
