BIAB Gel Manicure in Cardiff- Stronger, Healthier Nails with Lasting Shine
What is BIAB Gel Manicure?
What does BIAB mean, and how does it benefit my nails?
BIAB, or "Builder in a Bottle," is a revolutionary gel treatment that strengthens and protects your natural nails. Unlike traditional gel, BIAB is designed to be used without extensions, allowing for a healthy, flexible, and strong finish that lasts up to 4 weeks. This unique formulation supports nail growth and reduces breakage, making it perfect for anyone wanting naturally beautiful nails.
How is BIAB different from other gel manicures?
Unlike standard gels, BIAB is thicker and can be used to add structure and strength to the nail, enhancing durability. It’s ideal for clients with brittle or weak nails who want to grow them longer without compromising strength.

What steps are included in the BIAB Gel Manicure?
Our BIAB Gel Manicure includes a thorough nail prep (cuticle care Russian Manicure, filing and shaping) followed by the application of BIAB gel, which is expertly sculpted to achieve a smooth, natural finish. Each layer is cured under a UV lamp to ensure long-lasting wear. We finish with your choice of colour gel polish and topcoat for a high-shine or matte look.
How long does a BIAB Gel Manicure last ?
Typically, a BIAB Gel Manicure will last up to 4 weeks with proper aftercare. However, depending of personal growth time, you can return sooner for a touch-up or refill if you’re looking to maintain a fresh, flawless look.
Do BIAB Gels Need Frequent Refills?

Is BIAB Gel Manicure Suitable for Everyone?
Can I get a BIAB Gel Manicure if I have short or damaged nails?

Caring for Your BIAB Gel Manicure
What aftercare tips will help my BIAB Gel Manicure last?
To prolong your manicure, we recommend using cuticle oil daily to maintain moisture and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive water exposure. Wearing gloves while doing household tasks will also help protect the gel.
How do I safely remove BIAB gel?
It’s best to return to the salon for a professional removal to avoid damaging your natural nails. Our technicians use a gentle soak-off process and follow with nourishing treatments to keep your nails healthy.
Why Is It So Important to Maintain Your BIAB Gel Manicure on Time?
Why should I get my BIAB gel manicure on time?
Maintaining your BIAB Gel Manicure on time is crucial to avoid any potential infections. If the manicure starts to chip or lift, it can create space for bacteria or fungi to enter, leading to infections. Regular touch-ups ensure the health and longevity of your nails.
Can I Add Nail Art to My BIAB Gel Manicure or Any Gel Manicure?
Absolutely! You can add beautiful nail art to any BIAB Gel Manicure or gel manicure. From simple designs to intricate patterns, our skilled technicians can help create a personalised and stunning look for your nails.
What Happens if I Have a Nail Breakage? Can You Fix It?
It depends on the break, but if it's repairable, we will always do our best to save the natural nail. For smaller breaks, we can use gel to rebuild and restore the nail to its natural shape. For larger breaks, we may need to work with additional methods to extend the nail to offer more comfortable nail repair.
Why Do You Turn My Hand Upside Down When Doing a Gel Manicure?
We turn your hand upside down during the process to level the nail plate and ensure a smooth finish. This technique helps prevent any leakage, bumps or unevenness, ensuring your gel manicure looks flawless and lasts longer.
What If I Want My Nails to Be Longer?
Can I get longer nails with a BIAB Gel Manicure?
While BIAB Gel Manicure is perfect for adding strength to natural nails, if you're looking for more length, we recommend Gel-X Extensions. Gel-X is a popular extension method that provides a lightweight, durable solution for longer nails. It uses a gel-based system to create beautiful, natural-looking extended nails that are strong and long-lasting.
