Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is BIAB?
A: BIAB stands for Builder in a Bottle—a thicker, stronger type of gel polish that combines the flexibility of regular gel with the strength of builder gel. Belle Beauty’s builder gel in a bottle allows you to strengthen, enhance, and even extend your natural nails easily, without the need for messy pots or brushes.
Q: How do you apply BIAB nails?
A: Start by prepping the natural nail (buff, cleanse, and push back cuticles). Apply a thin layer of Belle Beauty Base Coat and cure it. Then apply your Builder in a Bottle in thin layers, curing each layer under a UV or LED lamp. Finish with Belle Beauty Top Coat for a glossy, long-lasting finish. Always follow manufacturer curing times for best results.
Q: How long does BIAB last?
A: When applied correctly, Belle Beauty BIAB nails can last up to 3-4 weeks without lifting or chipping. Longevity depends on nail prep, application technique, and aftercare (such as wearing gloves when cleaning and using cuticle oil regularly).
Q: How do I remove BIAB at home?
A: To safely remove at home:
- Gently file the top layer to break the seal.
- Soak a cotton ball in acetone and place it on the nail.
- Wrap the nail in foil and leave it for 10–15 minutes.
- Gently push off softened Builder in a Bottle with a cuticle pusher. Never force it!
- Buff and nourish nails with cuticle oil afterward.
For healthier nails, avoid peeling or scraping hard.
Q: Can beginners use BIAB?
A: Yes! Belle Beauty’s Builder in a Bottle is beginner-friendly thanks to its smooth, self-levelling formula and easy brush-on application. It’s perfect for aspiring nail technicians and home users who want salon-quality results without the hassle.
Q: Does Belle Beauty BIAB help strengthen natural nails?
A: Absolutely. Our formula reinforces the natural nail, helping to protect against splitting, peeling, and breakage. Over time, many users notice stronger, healthier nails beneath their BIAB overlays.
Q: Do I need a base coat with BIAB?
A: For optimal adhesion and durability, we recommend using Belle Beauty Base Coat under your Builder Gel in a Bottle application. This helps anchor the product to the nail plate and extends the life of your manicure.
Q: What lamp should I use to cure BIAB?
A: Our collection can be cured under both UV and LED lamps. Belle Beauty's UV Nail Lamp is ideal for curing Builder in a Bottle!
