19 New Gen BIAB™
Description
19 New Gen BIAB™ is the blush-toned nude BIAB™ that's earned a permanent place on salon shelves around the world, now in our next-generation formula.
Built For What's Next
Developed from extensive nail tech feedback and made in-house in our UK lab, New Gen BIAB™ is our HEMA-inclusive, TPO-free builder gel for everyday overlay services on short to mid-length nails. Retaining what you love about our original formula, we've innovated where it matters most to future-proof your kit and improve application.
We've Kept What You Love
- HEMA-inclusive formula
- Up to 4 weeks' wear
- Easy soak-off removal
- Matched application and curing times
- Built-in base (client dependent)
- Same bottle dimensions work with your existing setup
We've Evolved Where It Matters
- TPO-free, built for what's next
- Reduced photoinitiator levels to minimise heat spikes
- Improved self-levelling for smoother, easier application
- Upgraded bottle design for easy formula identification
- New C-curve brush for added precision
Where You'll Feel the Difference Compared to Original BIAB™
- A slightly thinner viscosity
- A tackier inhibition layer after curing due to reduced photoinitiator levels
- More crystal-like during soak-off, so you may want to allow more time for removals at first

How To Use
For best results, always refer to the full application guide before use. New Gen BIAB™ has a built-in base coat. We recommend using a compatible base coat and top coat for clients with weak or damaged natural nails, those who are prone to lifting or breakages, or clients with naturally oilier hair and skin, as these factors may impact product retention. New Gen BIAB™ is compatible with Rubber Base and works beautifully with Rubber Top Coat 2.0. Do not use with Bond Base or 2-In-1 Base.
Professional Use Information
- For professional use only
- Ensure correct prep and application for optimal retention
A note on colour: As we transition our BIAB™ production to the UK, we've worked carefully to match our existing shades as closely as possible. You may notice slight colour variations compared to previous batches, but this move allows us to ensure greater shade consistency across our BIAB™ range moving forward.
