What You Will Learn
Understanding Builder in a Bottle (BIAB)
Learn what Builder in a Bottle is, its unique properties, how it differs from traditional gels, and how various brands compare. Understand the science behind BIAB to work with confidence.
Professional BIAB Application Technique
Master smooth, controlled BIAB application with consistent structure while reducing filing time. Build a seamless apex, reduce bulk and thickness, and save time with no-file techniques. Prevent BIAB flooding around cuticles and sidewalls.
E-File Techniques for BIAB Prep
This masterclass introduces basic e-file manicure techniques as part of your BIAB prep and refining steps. Learn how to use the e-file for gentle cuticle and surface preparation, refining structure and balance after BIAB application, and safe product removal around cuticle zones without damaging the nail.
Note: While this course shows e-file techniques as part of BIAB prep, it does not go in-depth into full cuticle prep or skin work. A dedicated nail prep masterclass will be available soon for those who want advanced e-file manicure training and will be available in bundles.
Heat Spike Prevention
Avoid client discomfort and ensure safety by understanding what heat spikes are and why they occur, how curing methods and product thickness influence spikes, and prevention techniques with product control strategies.
Troubleshooting Common BIAB Problems
Identify, prevent, and fix common BIAB issues including lifting, peeling, and poor adhesion, patchy or uneven application, and product separation and bubbling.
BIAB Allergies & Irritation Awareness
Learn how to recognize, prevent, and manage reactions. Understand the introduction to BIAB-related skin reactions, the difference between allergies and irritation, why reactions happen (chemical buildup, poor prep), safe prevention strategies, and supporting clients with known sensitivities.
BIAB Maintenance & Rebalancing
Keep clients returning with proper upkeep. Learn how to correctly rebalance grown-out BIAB, maintain shape, apex, and structural integrity, and understand timing and care between appointments.
Cuticle Skin Polish for Flawless Finish
Create a clean, camera-ready finish with expert skin polishing around the nail plate. Prep and polish the cuticle area for a professional look and enhance final photos and client satisfaction.
