Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between BIAB and gel nails?
BIAB is a thicker, more structured product than a standard gel polish overlay. It provides additional strength and support to the natural nail while still allowing the nail to flex, making it less likely to cause damage or breakage compared to harder acrylics.
Can BIAB help me grow my nails?
Yes. BIAB is specifically designed to protect and strengthen the natural nail, making it an excellent choice for clients who struggle to grow their nails naturally.
