DIY BIAB NAILS AT HOME | the gel bottle biab (builder in a bottle) application 

Thank you! 🥰

Hi! I did cure the nails, just didnt film it since my lamp was out of frame and it would make the video a lot longer 😊

Happy to hear this!! 🥰Good luck. ☺

That's very kind, thank you 😊

@@femdoesnails you're welcome!!! I did a gel in a bottle video a while back. I find it hard than builder gel in a pot for some reason but you made this look very easy!!

I will! ☺️ Happy to hear it's helpful 🥰 thanks for watching!

Hi! It depends on what you want to use it for. BIAB is not as strong as a hard builder gel or acrylic. You can use it for short extensions (for instance when one nail is broken) but not for long extensions as it will not hold up that well. 😊 But it is a great product if you want to strengthen your nails, my nails were very weak and thin and they have grown quite strong and long with BIAB! So for doing overlays it's great. 😊

Hi! Thank you 🥰 for the base coat I cure all my nails at once (except the thumb). For the BIAB, I flash cure one nail at a time, so after applying and leveling the product I put my nail in the lamp for about 15sec, that way the product doesn't move around when I work on my other nails. I finish off with a full cure when I get to my pinky nail 😊 I do the same when I'm doing the topcoat!

I used BIAB 18 by TheGelBottleInc 😊

Yes, absolutely! 😊

Yes, you can! :)

Hi! If you are using BIAB by TheGelBottle it is best to stay within that system (so the recommended base coat and topcoat). :)

Hi! These two videos show how I remove and apply it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F6A5gFPJz1g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nz7CyU9D4Hc.html My first video is also a full one so including both the removal and application 😊 hope this helps x

Hi! Yes, this is the builder in a bottle (BIAB) by TheGelBottleInc in color 18 😊 you do need a UV/LED lamp to cure it (I cure it for 60sec), I use this one: www.amazon.de/Timers-Display-Infrared-Sensor-Double/dp/B06ZXWWCS4?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Hi! You can make small extensions with this product but I would not use it to build long extensions. The product is too flexible for that so probably wouldn't last that long ☺In that case I would for a hard gel product like polygel

Aw thank you! Love to hear that 😊

Yes, I do! Full 60sec cure 😊

Hey there! It seems like the problem you're facing with your nails could be because of how you're prepping them. To make sure that the product sticks well, it's super important to be extra careful when cleaning the nail surface. Here's what you can do: start by using a buffer to get rid of any dead skin around the nail and remove its natural shine. Then, take a lint-free wipe and soak it in pure acetone, and carefully clean the nail to remove any oil or dirt, making sure it's totally dry before you start applying anything. Before applying the product, avoid putting on any creams or oils or washing your hands, and once your nail is prepped, try not to touch it again. Another tip you can try is finish filing. After putting on the topcoat, file the free edge and sidewalls. This is important because those areas can be a bit thin right after application due to leveling, and filing will help make them stronger. Hope this helps you out! 😊

Thank you SO much I will definitely try that technique out. I just also learned my nail lamp wasn’t strong enough 😢

@@soniamorales8133 oh your lamp might also be the reason for lifting! I really like the lamps by SUNuv if you're looking for a new one. They are not that expensive and they have some that are just as powerful as the one by TheGelBottle (48W I think) 😊 I think I linked it in the description box!

Hiya I did my mums nails with builder gel last Tuesday and they all fell off last night is there any advice of how I can do them without it lifting and falling off? X

@@rachaelwhitchurch8511 Hi! This might also be an issue with preparation, so please check my comment above for some tips ☺ Some other things: If you are using TheGelBottle you can try their basecoat. If you are using another brand, carefully check their instructions on application, basecoat, primers etc. And carefully follow everything they mention there. Also, check whether your lamp is strong enough. preferably you use the one that was designed for the product that you are using but if that is not an option pick one that is as strong as the one the brand recommends. ☺ Good luck and hope this helps!

I do! I have a video on that as well but I just do a manicure, buff the natural nail and wipe with acetone 😊

Hi! I used BIAB 18 🥰

BIAB 18! 😊

No, this brand doesn't require one! :)

Hi! Yes, you do need an LED lamp to cure the product, the product needs a total cure of 60 sec😊 Not sure whether UV works as well, I'll look it up!

@@femdoesnails thanks so much, I have a UV/LED lamp, but it doesn't look as powerful do you think it would still work?

@@jessicabarrow5150 I'm not sure, but I would just try it out! If you see that it doesn't cure properly in 60 sec, try curing it for longer. If you see that you have issues with the longevity of the product, or it lifts all the time, then maybe you can consider buying a more powerful lamp. It's trial and error! ☺Mine is 48W

@@femdoesnails thanks so much i will research have a have a good weekend!

@@jessicabarrow5150 thank you, you too!! 😊

I'll try! 😊 It's quite the challenge doing it on yourself though haha 😅

@@femdoesnails haha yes that’s true! 🤭

It's soak off! 😊

Hi! I have an updated version of this video on my channel.
