Lavis Builder Gel is the only builder system that offers a full 72-shade color BIAB range with HEMA-free + TPO-free formulation. The B1 + B2 Collections are the most allergen-free option in the Lavis builder lineup — ideal for sensitivity-conscious clients and pregnancy-safe service. For "your nails but stronger" natural-look bookings, the Builder Gel in Bottle Ver2 36 ultra-sheer shades give beginners a forgiving thicker viscosity. For gel extensions and sculpting, the Builder Gel in Jars 18-shade range delivers thicker pickup for controlled placement. Pair the full system with Lavis Rubber Base for additional flex retention.

From BIAB Overlay to Gel Extensions: The Full Builder Range

The Lavis Builder Gel system spans every studio workflow: B1 + B2 Collection BIAB (72 colored shades, applied like gel polish straight from the bottle, full BIAB structured manicure service), Builder Gel in Bottle Ver2 (36 ultra-sheer natural shades, thicker than Ver1, forgiving for beginners), and Builder Gel in Jars (18 shades, 30ml jar, thicker viscosity for gel extension work and tip bonding on oily or lifting-prone nails). All three lines share the same 4-week retention performance, 9H hardness, low heat cure, and HEMA-free formulation. Browse the full system in our Builder Gel and Poly Gel hub.

BIAB Application — 10-Step Salon Workflow

The Lavis BIAB application sequence: (1) cuticle work + file/buff, (2) dust removal + acetone wipe, (3) dehydrator until matte, (4) Lavis Protein Bond or the 2-in-1 Bond + Primer shortcut (saves a step), (5) base coat thin layer + cure, (6) Builder slip layer light first pass + cure, (7) Builder thick coat to build and seal apex + cure, (8) file and buff to shape + wipe clean, (9) color coat optional + cure, (10) Lavis top coat + cure. Color always applied AFTER shaping, not before builder. Yield per bottle: ~30-40 sets. Shortcut: Replace step 4 with Lavis Primer & Protein Bond 2-in-1 to save time without compromising retention.
