Every Type of Manicure, Explained

A subset of a gel manicure that's also known as a structured manicure, BIAB nails typically use a builder gel that you can use the same way you do a normal gel nail polish. However, not only do you put your actual preferred nail color and designs on top of this builder gel, but when taking off you manicure, you file instead of soak. This is to make sure that the clear layer of the gel stays on your natural nails and protects them from constantly being exposed to acetone, keeping you nails much more healthy in the long run. As for the cost of BIAB nails, expect to shell out anywhere from $40 to $100 for the manicure.
