Biab nails

4 replies

I've had biab on my nails so they're quite nicely shaped now. The layers are coming off however and I'd quite like to try and re-do them myself. I don't have any heat/UV/Led Lamps so anything I do will have to be the old fashioned way.

Is there such a thing as a very very hard and Matt topcoat? My nails are naturally quite soft and the biab has been great to add a tough layer.

Have you tried the BIAB at home yet? I bought some on the recommendation of a work colleague not realising you need a UV/LED lamp. I could NOT get it dry at all so I've had to buy a UV lamo from Amazon.

I havent. I still have my 10 day old biab on my nails that I'm trying to preserve but I think I'm going to have to remove it? I don't know how!

I'll have a look on Amazon for the lamp things

They can't have been done very well if they are coming off at 10 days. Could be a bad technician or could me not suitable for you.

You have to soak the BIAB off - use nail varnish remover on cotton pads wrapped in tin foil or buy the ready made ones from Superdrug.
