What Is BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) & Builder Gel?
In simple terms, 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)
We apply 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. We then apply your chosen gel colour is then applied on top for a flawless finish.
