Frequently Asked Questions
-
BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) is a thicker gel that adds strength and support to your nails. It helps gel polish last longer, reduces chipping, and is perfect for anyone wanting stronger, healthier nails.
-
No. Gel polish itself does not damage natural nails. Weak or thin nails are usually caused by incorrect application or removal, not the product. Health, medication, and hormonal changes can also affect nail strength.
-
There isn’t one—Shellac is simply a brand name for gel polish (created by CND). People often use “Shellac” to describe any gel polish, but they’re the same type of product.
-
Yes—when used correctly. Electric files should only be used on existing product and by trained professionals. The natural nail only requires a gentle buff to ensure proper adhesion.
-
Gel extensions are a lightweight, flexible way to add length and shape to your natural nails. Applied with builder gel, they create a strong, seamless bond without harsh glues, giving a sleek, natural look that lasts.
-
BIAB can strengthen and protect nails while they grow, reducing breakage and lifting. Daily care—like cuticle oil and hand cream—also supports healthy nail growth. Full repair happens as the natural nail grows out.
-
SNS uses a strong adhesive (like super glue) and acrylic powder, which makes it very long-lasting. However, the strong adhesive can weaken natural nails over time, so while durable, it’s not as gentle as gel.
