BIAB, short for Builder In A Bottle, is a thicker, self-levelling gel applied over the natural nail to give it strength and a smooth, even shape. It has become one of the most requested nail treatments in the UK because it suits people trying to grow their own nails: the overlay protects the free edge from splitting and bending, and each appointment can add a little length.
It can be worn clear, in a nude tone, or with gel colour and nail art on top. Rather than removing it completely every time, the technician files back most of the product and rebalances it with an infill, so the natural nail underneath is not repeatedly exposed to acetone.
Allow an hour for a first application and 45 to 60 minutes for an infill every three weeks or so. As with all gel products, a reputable brand, full curing under the right lamp and careful filing are what keep the natural nail healthy.

Headingley serves the student population with competitively priced nails, lashes and spray tans, especially busy around graduation and the summer ball season.
