Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Acrylic?
Acrylic nails are created using a liquid monomer and powder polymer that hardens upon exposure to air. They provide a strong, durable surface and can be shaped to create extensions or overlays.
​
What is BIAB (Builder in a Bottle)?
BIAB is a strengthening gel designed to help natural nails grow while providing a flexible, chip-resistant finish. It's perfect for those who want long-lasting, natural-looking nails without extensions.
​
What is Dip Powder?
Dip powder involves applying a bonding liquid followed by colored powder, resulting in a strong, lightweight finish. This method does not require UV curing, making it a great option for long-lasting wear.
​
What is Gel Polish?
Gel polish is a long-lasting nail color cured under an LED or UV light. Unlike regular polish, it doesn’t chip easily and provides a glossy, salon-quality finish for up to two weeks or more.
What is Hard Gel?
Hard gel is a strong, sculpting gel used for extensions or overlays. It is cured under a lamp, offering a flexible yet durable finish that resists breaking and maintains shape.
​
Which option is best for me?
Your choice depends on your nail goals! If you want natural strengthening, go for BIAB. If you need strong extensions, acrylic or hard gel work best. If you prefer long-lasting color, gel polish or dip powder are great options.
