  • BIAB (builder in a bottle) is a strengthening nail treatment that builds structure and thickness onto natural nails.

  • Gel nails (gel polish) is a standard nail coating that adds colour and shine. Builder gel is thicker and adds structural strength to the nail, it's used to extend, strengthen, or build up natural nails. BIAB is a specific type of builder gel. We'll recommend the right product for your nails when you come in.

  • We do remove gels from other studios, when you book in you can select this as an option. We do not remove acrylics.
