Everything You Need to Know About Infills- Safest Way to Grow Natural Nails
What Is an Infill for all our Gel Treatments?
What does an infill for a BIAB Builder Gel Manicure involve?
An infill for a BIAB/Builder Gel/ Gel X Extensions involves refilling the gap that forms as your natural nails grow. We will carefully file the existing gel to remove any lifting or gaps, leaving the healthy gel to protect natural nails, then add new layers of gel to strengthen the manicure, ensuring your nails stay fresh, healthy and beautiful.
How often should I book an infill for my Gel manicure?
You should schedule an infill every 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly your natural nails grow. Regular infills help maintain the strength and integrity of your nails, keeping your manicure looking clean and long-lasting.
Can I Add Nail Art to My Gel Infill?
Can I customise my BIAB Builder infill with nail art?
Yes! You can absolutely add nail art to your infill and also can change take the length down and change the shape. Whether you want to change the design, add colour or create intricate patterns, we can personalise your nails to suit your style.
How Do I Know If I Need an Infill?
If you notice your gel lifting near the cuticles, or if there’s a visible gap between your natural nails and the gel, it’s time for an infill. The sooner you come in for an infill, the better your nails will look and be more durable.
Can Gel-X Extensions Be Fixed if There Is a Break?
Yes, we can repair a broken Gel-X Extension during an infill. If the break is minor, we’ll fix it by applying additional gel to the extension. For more significant breaks, we may need to reapply the extension. We always strive to ensure that your nails stay strong and looking great.
Will My Nails Still Be Strong After Multiple Infill Sessions?
How can I ensure my nails stay strong during multiple infill sessions?
Yes, your nails can remain strong after multiple infill sessions, provided that you maintain regular infills and proper aftercare. During each infill, we carefully file and reapply layers of gel to strengthen your nails, ensuring they stay durable and healthy.
What Happens if I Wait Too Long Between Infill Appointments?
How can waiting too long between infill appointments affect my nails?
If you wait too long between infill appointments, your gel or Gel-X extensions may begin to lift, leading to gaps between the gel and your natural nail. This can increase the risk of bacteria or dirt getting trapped underneath, which could lead to infections or damage. Additionally, the longer you wait, the more pressure is placed on your natural nail, which can cause weakening or breakage. It's always best to stay on schedule with your infills every 2-4 weeks to ensure the health and durability of your nails.
Do I Need to Take a Break Between Infill Appointments for BIAB/Builder Gel or Gel-X Extensions?
Is it necessary to take a break from BIAB/Builder Gel or Gel-X extensions between infill appointments?
No, you do not need to take a break between infill appointments for BIAB/Builder Gel or Gel-X extensions as long as you are maintaining regular infills and following proper aftercare. These systems are designed to be durable and safe for your natural nails. However, it’s important to keep your nails healthy by moisturising your cuticles, avoiding nail damage and getting infills on time (every 2-4 weeks). If you feel any discomfort or notice lifting, it’s best to get an infill sooner rather than later to prevent any potential damage.
