💅 What Is BIAB? Why Everyone in Charlotte Is Asking for This Game-Changing Manicure

💬 What is BIAB?

BIAB stands for Builder In A Bottle — and no, it’s not your average gel polish.

It’s a flexible, long-lasting overlay that strengthens your natural nails without damaging them like acrylic or dip powder can. Think of it like a protective shield + glow-up for your nails... all in one.
