What's Covered in this Course?

Online BIAB Course UK, Gel Builder In A Bottle Nail Training

Our BIAB online course gives you the skills to offer one of the fastest growing nail treatments in the industry. 

Builder Gel in a Bottle (Soft Gel )is a client favourite thanks to its clean finish, long wear, and minimal maintenance. It's applied like gel polish but gives the strength of a builder gel, ideal for clients who want durability without bulk. This is soft gel so not suitable for long tips.  

Whether you're starting out or upskilling, this course shows you how to apply, maintain, and remove BIAB with confidence—using clear, step-by-step training. Fully accredited by ABT, AIT
