Builder Gel

A thick gel used to add strength, length, and an apex to natural nails or extensions, cured under a lamp.

Builder gel (sometimes called BIAB when used in a bottle form) is a viscous gel that holds its shape, letting techs sculpt structure and an apex much like acrylic, but with the flexibility and shine of gel.

It's popular for overlays on natural nails and for clients who want strength without the odor of acrylic.
