# BIAB Overlays

From £60.25

From 70 mins

Your first application of BIAB, or Builder In A Bottle, in a natural shade. This soak-off builder gel adds a protective layer of strength to your own nails without adding length, so it is ideal if your nails peel, split or struggle to grow. Expect gentle prep, precise shaping and a smooth, high-shine finish.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BIAB overlay?

BIAB stands for Builder In A Bottle. It is a soak-off builder gel applied over your natural nails to add strength and a smooth, glossy finish, without adding any length.

Is BIAB gentler than acrylic?

Yes. BIAB is lighter and more flexible than traditional acrylic and it soaks off rather than needing heavy filing, so the natural nail underneath stays in better condition.

Can I have BIAB if my nails are short or peeling?

That is exactly what it is designed for. BIAB supports soft, peeling or splitting nails and helps them grow, while keeping the length practical for everyday life.

Does this appointment include colour?

No, this is applied in a natural shade for a clean, understated finish. If you would like colour, book BIAB Overlays with Colour Gel instead.

What happens next time I come in?

Rather than removing everything, most clients book a BIAB Infill every three to four weeks. Infilling is kinder to the natural nail than repeated removal and reapplication.
