Builder in a Bottle Gels (BIAB) are soak off gels that apply like gel polish, but are thicker than gel polish. This means they can be used as with tips or forms to extend the nail as well as using as an overlay. Builder in a Bottle Gel can be removed and reapplied at each appointment or infilled as with hard gel and acrylics. This course is accredited by ABT.
