💬 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.

💖 Why Charlotte Clients Are Obsessed with BIAB
Let’s be honest — healthy nails are the new luxury. And BIAB is leading that movement.
Here’s why it’s become one of our most-requested services at Digits & Spikes Nail Studio:
✅ Strengthens natural nails without needing harsh chemicals or drills
✅ Perfect for growing your own nails out (no more breakage!)
✅ Looks just as stunning as acrylics or Gel-X — with way less damage
✅ Great for busy professionals — they last 3-4 weeks
✅ Vegan & cruelty-free formulas (we only use the best)
