Why BIAB and Gel Nails Are the Perfect Pair for Stunning Nails

Keeping nails looking flawless while maintaining their health can sometimes feel like a balancing act. That is where BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) and gel nails come in. These two powerhouse treatments are taking the nail world by storm. If you have heard about them but are not quite sure what they are all about, we are here to break it down for you!

What Is BIAB, and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

Builder in a Bottle, or BIAB, is the ultimate solution for weak or brittle nails. Designed to provide both strength and flexibility, BIAB works as a protective layer over your natural nails, giving them the support they need to grow.

At Panache Hair and Beauty, we love BIAB because it is versatile. You can keep it neutral for a natural look or use it as a strong base for colour and nail art. Plus, BIAB is durable and low-maintenance, making it a favourite for those who want longer-lasting results without constant touch-ups.

What About Gel Nails? Are They Still a Must-Have?

Absolutely! Gel nails are a timeless classic for anyone looking to achieve a polished, long-lasting finish. Whether you are after bold colours, intricate nail art, or something soft and understated, gel nails deliver a flawless, high-shine look that can last up to three weeks.

Our clients at Panache love gel nails for their versatility and durability. They are perfect for those who want a glossy, chip-free manicure that stands up to the demands of daily life. While gel nails do not add as much strength as BIAB, they are ideal for those with naturally healthy nails.

BIAB and Gel: The Perfect Combination

Here is the exciting part: BIAB and gel nails are not an either-or situation. They work beautifully together! BIAB provides the strength and structure to protect your natural nails, while gel polish offers the vibrant, high-shine finish that completes your look.

For those who love experimenting with colours and designs but also want to grow their natural nails, combining BIAB with gel polish is the ultimate solution. It is the best of both worlds.

What Is the Right Choice for You?

The best treatment depends on your nail goals. If you are looking to strengthen your nails or encourage growth, start with BIAB. If you want a perfect manicure with long-lasting colour, gel nails are the way to go. Not sure? Our expert nail technician Leah is here to guide you.
