If you're dreaming of stronger, longer nails that actually last, BIAB nail is the treatment you've been waiting for. At Nail Studio London, our expert nail technicians use BIAB gel to give you beautiful, durable extensions that protect your natural nails — not damage them.
BIAB stands for Builder In A Bottle — a revolutionary hard gel formula that sits somewhere between a gel polish and a traditional acrylic. Unlike regular gel, BIAB is thick enough to add real structure and length to your nails while remaining flexible enough to move with your natural nail. The result? Extensions that stay chip-free for up to three to four weeks and keep your natural nails healthy and protected underneath.
It’s the go-to choice for clients who want long-lasting length without the harsh chemicals or heavy feel of acrylics.
At our beauty salon in London, your appointment begins with a thorough prep — cuticle care, nail shaping, and light buffing to create the perfect base. Your technician will then select a customised nail tip to achieve your desired length and shape, whether that’s a classic square, a flirty almond, or a bold stiletto.
A layer of BIAB gel is then carefully sculpted over the tip to create the extension, before being cured under a UV/LED lamp for a hard, durable finish. A second layer is applied on top to add extra strength and a smooth, glossy surface.
BIAB gel also works beautifully as a base for gel polish — so if you want to add colour, chrome, or nail art, we can layer that on top for a fully customised look. Browse our nail art menu for design inspiration, or bring in your own reference and our artists will bring it to life.
Your full BIAB nail extension appointment takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.
We take pride in every set we create. If you experience any lifting or chipping within seven days of your appointment, simply get in touch and we’ll repair it at no extra charge. Your nails should look perfect — and we’ll make sure they do.
