When it comes to gel enhancement products, there are plenty of options currently on the market. But customers today are looking for gel enhancement solutions that can do it all. They want a system that can provide lasting extension, save them time in the salon, help them grow their natural nail, and they want something that can provide them the kind of durability that holds up between salon visits. Not to mention they want gel enhancements that look and feel like their real nails. Well, The GelBottle has the perfect one bottle solution for nail professionals and their clients.
The GelBottle, a female-founded and owned company, has created the perfect collaboration between tough acrylics and flexible gel: Builder in a Bottle aka BIAB™. It creates a lasting set of gels that look and feel like a natural nail, and can be used in a variety of ways. For clients who are hard on their nails, Builder in a Bottle, a soak off gel builder, doesn’t chip or lift. For those who struggle to grow their natural nails, BIAB can be used as a base coat, and then easily infilled or soaked off when clients achieve their desired nail length. The natural nail will remain damage-free after the soak off. And since it’s healthy for the natural nail – nontoxic, vegan, and cruelty-free – Builder in a Bottle has been known to help alleviate sensitive skin issues.
The magic of the BIAB gel system is its combined primer and base in one bottle, which eliminates extra steps for the nail pro, and requires fewer applications for the client. It’s a 100% gel system, and it’s curable with both LED and UV lights. Each bottle will last nail professionals anywhere from 25 to 65 sets, depending on nail and extension lengths.
With 13 unique shades, plus white and clear, BIAB’s medium viscosity – versus some of The GelBottle’s thicker builder gels – provides infinite versatility for nail looks and lengths. Leave it clear, combine the gel with a pop of color, add it as a strengthening layer under The GelBottle color, or use as a standalone overlay to help the natural nail grow – the possibilities are endless. It can also be used to create short or medium length extensions or tips. No matter the application, Builder in a Bottle will always feel like a natural nail.
The GelBottle’s Builder in a Bottle comes in 13 unique shades.
Rest assured that The GelBottle provides training details for all nail professionals on proper application techniques, so you’ll always feel supported on both best practices and the variety of applications Builder in a Bottle has to offer.
Provide your clients with gels they can only get from a professional – ones that won’t damage their natural nail, but will last as long as a full set of acrylics, in one of 13 Builder in a Bottle shades that are sure to match their skin tone perfectly every salon visit.
