What Is BIAB / Builder Gel?
BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) and Builder Gel are strengthening nail treatments designed to help support natural nail growth whilst creating a clean, polished and long-lasting finish.
These treatments add strength and structure to the natural nail, helping to reduce breakage and improve overall nail durability whilst still maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
At Features Beauty, our BIAB and Builder Gel treatments are tailored individually depending on your natural nails, lifestyle and desired finish.
