BIAB Gel Nails Explained
Builder gel nails are stronger and more durable than regular shellac gel.
A new set of builder gel nails starts with preparing your cuticles and the nail beds using an e-file nail drill. Plastic nail tips are glued onto the nail beds for extra length as desired. Given its strength and texture, BIAB can only support limited or short nail extensions.
BIAB gel is applied on nails and cured under a UV lamp. Nails are filed into desired shapes. And finally, colours and designs are done on the newly created nails.
When it’s time for the next nail appointment, the colours are filed off. We can apply new BIAB gel to the regrowth. Minimum work is required on the initial builder gel sections. Alternatively, you may choose to soak off the set and start a new one.
Builder gel can be soaked off with acetone or gel removal. It is best done professionally to avoid damage.
