Builder In A Bottle ™, also known as BIAB™ or Cover Nude Builder, is a range of soak off gel builders that are ideal for creating strong overlays and providing strengthening protection for natural nails.
BIAB™ contains a primer so you don't need a base coat. It is a long lasting formula that can last up to 4+ weeks. It keeps the natural nails strong and is self-levelling. Builder In A Bottle™ can be filled or soaked. Moreover, it can be left as a beautiful shade or finished with a gel color.
It is a 100% gel system and is suitable for LED and UV curing. Use a lamp with a LOW HEAT mode for your BIAB treatments!
How to use BIAB
Step 1: Preparing the nails
- Perform a proper manicure, and degrease the nail plate thoroughly.
Step 2: Apply first coat of BIAB™
- Apply an even layer of base coat of The GelBottle Clear Rubber Base when working with TGB BIAB™ WHITE, Milky or Clear. If you are working with any of the other BIAB™ shades, you can start with a thin layer of BIAB™ on the natural nail.
- Allow the first thin layer of BIAB™ to cure for 90 seconds in The GelBottle LED lamp or in the low-heat function for 99 seconds.
Step 3: Apply second coat of BIAB™
- Apply an even layer of BIAB™.
- Do not cure this second layer of BIAB™!
Step 4: Apply third coat of BIAB™
- Apply a small scoop of The GelBottle BIAB™, spreading from side to side and dragging away from the cuticle.
- Seal the free edge.
- Build and cure one nail at a time, turning the hand over, to help create the apex.
- Allow the second layer of BIAB™ to cure for 90 seconds in The GelBottle LED lamp or in the low-heat function for 99 seconds.
Step 5: Refining BIAB™
- If necessary, refine the BIAB™ with a file or buffer. Remove dust with a manicure dust brush.
Step 6: Apply Top Coat
- For a natural color finish, apply a coat of The GelBottle Extreme Shine Top Coat.
- Let the top coat cure for 60 seconds.
- File the free edge with a file.
