What Is BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) & Builder Gel?

BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) is a strengthening gel system applied over your natural nails to add structure, protection and durability without the need for extensions. It helps protect weak or brittle nails while encouraging healthy natural growth underneath. Builder gel can also be used to create subtle structure, repair minor breaks and improve overall nail shape.

Our BIAB & Builder Gel Services in Brighton

BIAB Gel Manicure (Thin Strengthening Layer)

A thin layer of BIAB builder gel is applied between the base coat and gel polish, similar to a rubber base system. This strengthens natural nails while maintaining flexibility and a lightweight feel. Ideal for clients who want added durability without extra thickness.

BIAB Gel Overlay (Structured Builder Application)

For clients needing additional strength and structure, we apply a slip layer followed by a carefully built apex using BIAB. This creates improved balance, shape and durability while maintaining a natural appearance. Your chosen gel colour is then applied on top for a flawless finish.

Who Is BIAB Suitable For?

BIAB and builder gel are ideal for clients who:

• Have weak, thin or brittle natural nails
• Want to grow their natural nails without extensions
• Need extra strength under gel polish
• Experience frequent chipping or lifting
• Prefer a natural-looking, lightweight finish

During your appointment, our experienced nail technicians will assess your natural nails and deliver the BIAB service you have selected. If greater structure or a full overlay would better support your nail goals, we may recommend adjusting your service at a future visit to achieve optimal results safely and effectively.

How Long Does BIAB & Builder Gel Last?

BIAB and builder gel manicures typically last 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your nail growth, lifestyle and the type of application chosen.

A thin BIAB strengthening layer offers flexibility and durability for everyday wear, while a structured BIAB overlay provides additional strength and balance, making it ideal for clients who are growing their natural nails.

To maintain optimal results, we recommend infills or removal and reapplication every 2–3 weeks.
