Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) has revolutionised the gel industry over the past decade, with its origins tracing back to development of the first rubber base coat in 2012. Designed to provide both strength and flexibility, BIAB is an ideal choice for those needing extra durability while maintaining a natural look.
Applied using a structured technique with a small apex, BIAB is best suited to healthy short to medium-length nails, offering reinforcement and protection to support natural growth without breakage. With a unique formula that offers more strength than a soft gel, it delivers lasting strength while remaining lightweight.
Available in a range of nude shades, this product works well for clients who require additional strength in a neutral colour without the need for a gel polish shade over the top. For clients with longer nails BIAB gel is not recommended, as the amount of product required to build structure may lead to incomplete curing and heightened risk of allergic reactions developing. This is why hard gel is offered to clients with long, weak or problematic nails.
