Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) is a type of soak-off builder gel used in nail treatments, designed to strengthen and enhance natural nails. It's especially popular for clients looking to grow their natural nails or create a structured, long-lasting manicure without traditional acrylics or hard gels.

What Is BIAB Gel?

BIAB stands for Builder In A Bottle, a product typically offered in a bottle-and-brush format, much like standard gel polish. It combines the strength of builder gel with the ease of application of a regular gel polish.

Key Features:

  • Strengthens Natural Nails: Ideal for brittle, peeling, or weak nails. It adds structure and prevents breakage.
  • Soak-Off Formula: Unlike traditional hard gels, BIAB can be removed with acetone, making it gentler on the nails.
  • Self-Levelling: The gel smooths itself out after application, reducing the need for excessive filing.
  • Versatile Use: Can be used as a base layer, for natural nail overlays, or to build short extensions.
  • Long-Lasting: BIAB manicures typically last 3–4 weeks with proper application and care.

Who Is It Best For?

  • Clients who want to grow their natural nails
  • Those prone to nail damage or breakage
  • Nail techs looking for a healthier, non-acrylic strengthening option
  • People wanting a low-maintenance, long-lasting manicure



Frequently Asked Questions: Builder Gel

What is the difference between hard gel and BIAB?

Hard gel is a non-soak-off formula used for building strong, extended nails and requires filing for removal. BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) is a soak-off builder gel ideal for overlays and natural nail strengthening, offering easier application and removal.

How do you apply builder gel?

Apply builder gel in thin layers over a prepped nail surface, curing each layer under a UV or LED lamp. Shape as needed, then finish with a top coat or gel colour. Proper prep and curing ensure durability and longevity.
