Mia Secret BioBuilder Gel, which is a builder gel in a bottle, first arrived on the nail scene around 2020, and it has since become a staple in nail services. This revolutionary product provides all the benefits of a traditional builder gel — a strong, yet flexible foundation — but with self-leveling properties and the ease of use of a bottle brush. If you haven’t been using builder gel in a bottle, you’re definitely missing out!
One of the best parts about Mia Secret BioBuilder Gel is that is provides nail professionals the opportunity to create a wide variety of nail styles with one product, from natural-nail overlays to a tip-and-overlay to nail extensions using forms. Have a client who wants to add strength to her weak and flexible natural nails? BioBuilder is key. Looking to recreate the popular full-coverage tip-and-gel service with products you can trust? This is it. Plus, it creates a smooth and plump base on imperfect nails (think: ski jump nails, for example) so that on-trend monochromatic color looks absolutely flawless. Use the step-by-steps below to start incorporating BioBuilder into your service lineup!
Lip Gloss Nails
The latest spring nail trend Lip Gloss nails is, essentially, a sheer pink nail with high-shine top coat. Give your trendsetting clients the look by using BioBiulder in Perfect Pink, Frosted Pink or even Cover Nude.
1 On a prepped nail, apply one coat of Nail Prep, followed by one coat of acid-free primer Xtrabond.
2 Apply one thin coat of Luxury Base & Top Gel, and cure for 30 seconds.
3 Carefully float BioBuilder in your choice of pink over the nail, keeping a 1-millimeter boarder around the cuticle.
4 Once you have enough product on the nail, turn the finger upside down so the gel will self-level. Flash-cure the nail for 10 seconds (to avoid heat spikes) before fully curing for 60 seconds.
5 Check the nail for any areas where more gel is needed, for example, if there are any dips in the nail or if the apex isn’t strong enough. Repeat the flash-cure and full cure.
6 Remove the inhibition layer, and file nails to seal the cuticle area and refine the free edge.
7 Finish with Glass Finish Gel for a high-shine finish, and cure for 30 seconds.
Full-Coverage Tip and Overlay
For a quick and natural-looking tip extension — or even a fast fix for a broken nail — try pairing Extension Gel Tips with BioBuilder Gel.
1 On a prepped nail, apply one coat of Nail Prep, followed by one coat of Xtrabond.
2 Apply one thin coat of Luxury Base & Top Gel, and cure for 30 seconds.
3 Apply a thin coat of BioBuilder in Clear to the nail. Then, add a small amount of BioBuilder directly to the cuticle area of the Extension Gel Tip. Apply the tip to the nail, starting at the cuticle area and pressing down toward the free edge.
4 Flash cure for 10 seconds to set the tip, then continue with the rest of the nails on that hand. Once all tips are applied, fully cure all five fingers for 60 seconds.
5 Complete the manicure with the desired Gelux color or designs.
