Ditch the Damage, Embrace Strength: The BIAB™ Revolution at NACRE Newport

We all desire beautiful, healthy nails, but factors like frequent gel polish, daily wear-and-tear, or naturally brittle nails can make achieving strength and length feel like an uphill battle. If you've struggled with weak, peeling, or constantly breaking nails, there's a revolutionary treatment changing the game: BIAB™, also known as Builder in a Bottle.

Available at NACRE Hair & Beauty, your premium nail salon in Newport, BIAB™ offers a unique approach to achieving gorgeous, long-lasting manicures while actively promoting the health of your natural nails. Let's delve into why BIAB™ nails in Newport are becoming the go-to choice for discerning clients.

What is BIAB™?

BIAB™, pioneered by The GelBottle Inc, is a type of builder gel designed to be applied as an overlay directly onto the natural nail. Unlike traditional gel polish which is purely cosmetic, BIAB™ has a thicker consistency that provides a strong yet flexible protective layer.

Key Characteristics:

• Strength & Structure: It adds reinforcement to the natural nail, preventing bends and breaks.

• Promotes Growth: By protecting the nail from damage, BIAB™ allows your natural nails to grow longer and stronger underneath.

• Soak-Off Formula: Like gel polish, it can be soaked off, although infills are more common.

• Versatile Finish: Can be worn on its own for a glossy, natural look, or used as a perfect base for gel colour application.

Why Choose BIAB™ Over Regular Gel Polish or Acrylics?

While we love a classic gel manicure at NACRE, BIAB™ offers distinct advantages, especially for certain nail types:

• Natural Nail Health: Its primary focus is strengthening your own nails, whereas acrylics can sometimes be harsh, and regular gel polish offers minimal structural support.

• Durability: The added strength means BIAB™ manicures often last longer and are more resistant to chipping than standard gel polish alone.

• Smoother Finish: BIAB™ can help smooth out ridges or imperfections in the natural nail plate, creating a flawless canvas.

• Ideal for Growth: If your goal is longer natural nails, BIAB™ provides the protection needed to achieve it without resorting to extensions immediately.

Compared to acrylics, BIAB™ is generally considered less damaging upon removal (when done correctly) and offers a more flexible, natural feel.

Who is BIAB™ Perfect For?

BIAB™ is a fantastic option if you:

• Have weak, brittle, or peeling natural nails.

• Want to grow your natural nails longer.

• Find regular gel polish chips too easily.

• Prefer a strong overlay but find acrylics too harsh or thick.

• Love a long-lasting, glossy manicure.
