1. Prep – nails are cleaned and lightly buffed to remove shine
2. Growth area is addressed – the gap near the cuticle from natural nail growth is filled with BIAB gel
3. Shape & smooth – nails are filed and balanced for an even look
4. Cured under UV/LED lamp – ensures strength and durability
5. Finish – optional colour, clear top coat
1. Nails are prepped and shaped
2. Nail forms or tips are applied to create the desired length
3. BIAB gel is layered over the natural nail + extension

What is a BIAB overlay?

• Looks natural and neat
• Lasts 2–3 weeks+ with infills
It’s perfect if you want something stronger than gel polish but more natural than acrylics — think “your nails, but better” 💖
