BUILDER GEL or BIAB π
π
I did two sets on my nails that lasted for more than 13 days, no chipping and no peeling and then I did two removals.
On the 2nd removal done last Tuesday, this is how my nails look: healthy, no split, no broken nail. π
Iβm giving them a break for a week before doing another set. During this break I apply a cuticle balm to help nails to hydrate and soften. π«§π§

BIAB provides a protective layer that strengthens natural nails, helps to grow your natural nails over time, making them less prone to breaking, chipping, or peeling.
But despite its thickness, builder gel has more flexibility so less likely to crack.
It offers a soft, natural finish.
That makes it a more effective option than traditional gel nail polish.

What about hard gel vs. builder gel?
Hard gel is another type of builder gel that adds a rigid layer over the nail.
The biggest difference between builder gel in a bottle and hard gel is that the latter has to be filed off; it canβt be soaked off. Hard gel is similar to acrylic in that itβs strong on the nail, while builder gel has more flexibility, so itβs less likely to crack.
