8. How to apply and remove Biab step by step
If you are considering applying biab nails yourself, it is important to know how to apply and remove them step by step. Applying biab is similar to applying gel polish, but it needs to be built up like UV gel.
Step 1 – Preparing the nail plate
Before you start applying biab, it is important to prepare the natural nail plate properly. This means that you have to file the nail plate into shape, mattify it, push back and remove the cuticles and degrease the nail plate using a cellulose swab and cleaner.
Step 2 – Applying Biab
After the nail plate is well prepared, apply a nail prep and primer and possibly a base coat. Then take some biab (Fast gel) and apply a layer. Then take some more biab and form a ball with it that you place in the middle of the nail. Distribute the builder gel over the entire nail to build it up. Cure the nails under a nail lamp and finish your manicure with a top coat.
Step 3 – Remove Biab
ItRemoving biab can be done in different ways . You can file it off with a regular file or an electric file. If you do not have enough experience with an electric file, we advise you not to work with it. It can lead to damage to your natural nail plate. You can also remove biab by soaking your nails in remover. After removing your artificial nails, your nails often feel more flexible for 12-24 hours. This is because artificial nails temporarily increase the moisture content in your nail plate by about 10-15%.
9. Who are Biab nails most suitable for?
Biab is not only suitable for people with porous, thin and brittle nails, but also for anyone looking for a natural nail treatment on short nails. Even nail biters can benefit from this treatment. This is because biab is thicker and stronger than standard nail polish and gel polish. This makes it more resistant to biting. So if you are looking for strong, natural looking nails without extensions, biab might be the perfect option for you.
10. Is biab the same as rubber base?
BIAB and rubber base differ from each other. Biab is a soak-off builder gel that is ideal for modeling, building up, extending the nail and for tip extensions. Moreover, it can also be used as a stand-alone color or as a base for a gel polish color. Rubber base on the other hand is a flexible base coat that bends with the natural nail and provides extra strength. You can also extend your nails to a limited extent with rubber base. Although both products are similar, it is important to understand the differences between these products so that you can make the right choice for your own nails or those of your clients.
11. What is the difference between biab, gel, gel polish, acrylic gel and acrylic nails?
With so many different nail treatments available in the nail world, it can be overwhelming to decide which treatment is right for you. Below we have compiled an overview of the most common nail products.
- Gel polish :Gel polish has a thinner consistency than other nail products and looks like regular nail polish. However, it needs to be cured in a nail lamp for longer durability.
- UV gel :UV gel is a thick liquid substance used to build artificial nails. UV gel is hardened under UV radiation in a UV/LED lamp. It is ideal for people with thin, short and brittle nails, because it strengthens the natural nails.
- Acrylic :Acrylic is a polymer (acrylic powder) that is mixed with monomer (acrylic liquid). Acrylic hardens through the oxidation process (under the influence of air). You do not need a nail lamp for this treatment. With this, you can build very long artificial nails, just like with UV gel.
- Acrylic gel :acrylic gel combines the properties of gel and acrylic. It has the flexibility of gel and the durability of acrylic. It is used to extend, build and model nails.
- BIAB :BIAB is a flexible and strengthening gel that is used to build up the nails to a beautiful and even nail. It can also be used to slightly extend the nails. Biab is a form of gel polish that has a stronger and more strengthening base. It is hardened under a nail lamp. Biab is recommended for people who suffer from porous, thin and brittle nails or for those who like natural nail treatments.
