PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

Builder Gel, BIAB (builder in a bottle), or hard gel is a thick, self-leveling liquid gel which is applied to the nail and then cured under an LED light. It may be applied over a nail tip (similar to acrylic or dip) to create a nail extension. Or, it may be applied to only the natural nail (this is called and overlay) to create a stronger, flawless surface as the base for gel polish.
While hard gels cure just as hard as traditional acrylics, they don't have that strong chemical odor. The application method for builder gel also minimizes skin exposure to chemicals. The methods used for dip nails are less sanitary and frequently cause allergic reactions after prolonged regular exposure. In my opinion, builder gel really is the only choice that keeps clients happy and healthy long-term.
The builder gel I use, from the GelBottle, Inc. is clear so when you come in for a fill, I can take off the top layer of paint, check that your natural nail underneath is healthy, inspect for structural issues, apply the new product, and paint your new color without doing any damage to the natural nail. Even with a very cautious, experienced nail tech, nail removal and preparing the nail for new product repeatedly causes the most damage to the natural nail. So I eliminated the need for that!
