Each BIAB set is shaped and finished by hand. From subtle natural overlays to polished looks, our work reflects the attention to detail that defines every Laque Bar appointment. 

What is BIAB?

Stronger nails,
refined naturally.

Each BIAB set is shaped and finished by hand. From subtle natural overlays to polished looks, our work reflects the attention to detail that defines every Laque Bar appointment. 

BIAB (Builder in A Bottle) is a modern builder gel designed to strengthen natural nails while maintaining a lightweight, natural feel. Unlike rigid enhancement systems, BIAB adapts to your natural nail, so there’s less stress on it, and more support for long-term strength. The result? Nails that hold their shape, grow with ease, and stay polished for weeks.

Your questions

Questions we hear
all the time.

No judgement if you don’t know what an infill is. We get these questions every week.

How much does BIAB cost in Sydney?

BIAB Manicure starts from AUD 130. BIAB Infill starts from AUD 135. Gel X Full Set Nails start from AUD 130, and BIAB Pedicure starts from AUD 115.

BIAB, short for Builder in a Bottle, is a strengthening builder gel applied over natural nails. It helps improve durability while maintaining a natural look and feel.

BIAB is often preferred by clients who want stronger natural nails and a more natural appearance. Acrylic may be better for dramatic length, while BIAB is commonly chosen for strength, flexibility, and nail growth support.

Most BIAB sets last around 2 to 3 weeks before an infill is recommended. Longevity depends on nail growth, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Many clients choose BIAB because it helps protect natural nails from everyday breakage, making it easier to grow and maintain length over time.

When applied, maintained, and removed correctly, BIAB is considered a gentle nail enhancement. Professional removal and regular infills help protect the natural nail underneath.

Most clients return every 2 to 3 weeks for an infill. This helps maintain structure, prevent lifting, and keep nails looking fresh.

Yes. BIAB works well on short nails and is commonly used by clients who want to strengthen their nails before growing additional length.

BIAB is designed to add strength and structure to the natural nail, while standard gel polish is mainly used for colour and shine. BIAB is generally a better option for clients looking for added durability.

Yes. We offer BIAB nail services at both our Double Bay and Mosman salons, including BIAB Manicures, BIAB Infills, Gel X Full Sets, and BIAB Pedicures.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset’s Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
