On the technical side, builder formulas are oligomers.

What makes BIAB particularly special is that its self-leveling.
Often times other nail extension options can look thick and lumpy, she notes.
Whats more, BIAB nails are flexible, unlikeacrylics.
The software and removal process are also not as damaging to your natural nails.
Dont be mistaken, thoughBIAB isnt only for achieving length.
How Is BIAB Applied?
BIAB nails can be applied in one of two ways: the Perfect Form or the Fast Form.
The Perfect Form slides under the nail and hugs it for precision, Boyce says.

The Fast Forms look like long press-on nails with tabs on the side, Boyce says.
Where Perfect Forms are affixed beneath the nail, Fast Forms are applied overtop.
How Much Does BIAB Cost?
Like all beauty treatments, the cost of BIAB nails varies based on location and the nail techs experience.

Are BIAB Nails Safe?

Compared to hard gel or acrylics, its faster to apply and much more comfortable to wear.
