Acrylics had their moment. But in 2024, more women in Charlotte are making the switch to a healthier, stronger, and sleeker alternative: BIAB (Builder in a Bottle).
We call it the BIAB Glow-Up — and once you try it, there’s no going back.
What Is BIAB, and Why Is Everyone Obsessed?
BIAB is a soak-off soft gel that builds strength without damaging your natural nails. It’s thicker than gel polish, but lighter and healthier than acrylics. Think: long-lasting, breathable, and oh-so-beautiful.
No harsh chemicals. No strong fumes. No aggressive drilling.
Just flawless nails that look as good at week 4 as they did on day 1.
