BIAB Manicure in Tewkesbury - Atelièr JADE at LR Studios

What is a BIAB manicure? BIAB stands for Builder In A Bottle – a builder gel applied like gel polish that strengthens and protects the natural nail while providing a long-lasting, glossy finish. It’s one of the most popular nail treatments available right now.

How long does BIAB last? BIAB typically lasts 3-4 weeks without chipping or lifting – longer than regular gel polish. Infills are available to extend the wear without a full removal.

Does BIAB damage your nails? No – BIAB is actually designed to strengthen and protect your natural nails. When applied and removed correctly by a qualified nail technician, it promotes healthy nail growth.

Can I have BIAB if I have weak nails? Yes – BIAB is actually ideal for weak, brittle or damaged nails as it adds a protective layer that helps them grow stronger underneath.

Do you offer BIAB infills? Yes – Jade offers BIAB infills at Atelièr JADE in Tewkesbury. Infills are recommended every 3-4 weeks and are a great way to maintain your BIAB without a full removal each time.

How is BIAB different to acrylic nails? BIAB is applied to your natural nails and soaks off safely – it doesn’t require drilling or filing down the nail plate like acrylics. It’s a gentler, more natural alternative.

What BIAB services do you offer? At Atelièr JADE we offer three BIAB manicure options to suit your needs. BIAB on natural nails gives you a strengthening, glossy finish without added colour, perfect for those who prefer a clean and natural look. BIAB with gel colour combines the strength and durability of builder gel with your choice of gel polish colour, giving you beautiful, long-lasting nails with a pop of colour. We also offer BIAB infills with application, ideal for maintaining your existing BIAB set as your nails grow, keeping them looking fresh and flawless without a full removal. Jade will advise on the best option for your nails at your appointment.
