Apply BIAB in 4 steps

1

Step 1 Primer:

Apply a thin layer of primer to the natural nail after prepping (degreasing, roughening and removing dust). Let air dry, about 60 seconds. The primer promotes adhesion and prevents lifting.

Step 2: Base Coat

Apply a thin layer of base coat without touching the cuticles. Cure for at least 60 seconds under the LED lamp. This layer provides a good base and prevents discoloration.

Step 3 BIAB:

Apply a thin layer of BIAB and cure for 60 seconds. Repeat with a second, fuller layer for strength and shape. A third layer is optional for extra reinforcement. Cure each layer separately for a minimum of 60 seconds.

Step 4: Top Coat

Apply a thin layer of top coat for shine and protection. Cure for at least 60 seconds under the LED lamp. After curing, remove the sticky layer with a cleaner.
