BIAB is applied over your natural nail to add strength without the bulk of extensions. Your appointment focuses on clean prep, even structure, and a finish that stays looking neat.

• Shaping of your natural nails for a balanced, tidy look.
• BIAB builder gel overlay applied in controlled layers for strength and flexibility.
• Smoothing and refining so the surface looks even and feels comfortable.
• Finish options: natural look (clear/nude) or a gel colour over the BIAB, if you choose.
• Aftercare advice to help prevent chipping, lifting and peeling at home.

BIAB overlays for nails that bend, peel or keep snapping

BIAB is a strong choice if your nails feel thin, split at the free edge, or break as soon as they gain length. The builder layer adds support while still flexing with the nail, which can make everyday knocks less damaging. It is also ideal if you like a neat, natural nail look but want more durability than standard gel polish.

How BIAB is applied: prep, builder structure, then finish

The service starts with thorough nail prep, focusing on cuticle work and removing surface shine so the product bonds well. BIAB is then applied and built to suit your nail shape, with extra attention to areas that commonly weaken. Once cured, the nails are refined and finished to your chosen look.

Maintaining BIAB nails between appointments

To keep BIAB looking fresh, use cuticle oil daily and wear gloves for cleaning and hot water. Avoid using your nails as tools, which can cause stress and lifting at the edges. When it is time for a change, BIAB can usually be infilled or removed professionally, depending on your nail condition and the look you want next.
