At EBE Beauty Boutique, we love BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) for its durability, strength, and natural finish. But one of the most common questions we get is: "How long does a BIAB overlay last?"
The answer? It depends on your nail growth, lifestyle, and aftercare routine—but typically, a BIAB overlay can last 3 to 4 weeks before needing an infill or refresh.
Why Does BIAB Last So Long?
Unlike traditional gels or acrylics, BIAB is a flexible, self-leveling gel that bonds strongly to the natural nail, reducing the risk of lifting or chipping. Its flexibility means it moves with your nails, making it less prone to cracks.
What Affects BIAB Longevity?
💅 Nail Growth – Faster-growing nails may require infills sooner.
💦 Aftercare – Using cuticle oil daily and wearing gloves for cleaning helps prevent premature lifting.
🔨 Lifestyle – If you're frequently using your hands (e.g., manual work, excessive typing), your overlay may wear quicker.
When Should You Book an Infill?
For best results, we recommend getting a BIAB infill every 3 weeks. This helps maintain nail strength, shape, and appearance while preventing potential lifting.
At EBE Beauty Boutique, our BIAB specialists ensure your nails stay flawless for as long as possible. Book your appointment today and experience the magic of BIAB! 💖
