What is BIAB?

BIAB stands for "builder in a bottle": a thicker builder gel brushed over natural nails to add strength and structure, cured under a UV/LED lamp.

BIAB vs gel manicure: what is the difference?

A gel manicure is a thin coat of colour; BIAB adds a thicker strengthening layer. In our data a gel manicure starts at a $40 median and BIAB at $55.

How long does BIAB last?

Salons commonly book BIAB infills every three to four weeks, as the natural nail grows out. Ask your technician what they recommend.

BIAB vs acrylic?

BIAB is a gel that strengthens the natural nail or adds short length; acrylic is a liquid-and-powder system often used for longer extensions. Removal methods differ, so ask the salon.
