I’d go and get BIAB as that will kill two birds with one stone - helps them grow as well as evening out the ridges etc.Thank you both, is it worth going just now or should I try and get them grown a bit first?

I always show my nails on another thread. I don’t think anyone will find out who you are. Post it in a spoiler id you’re worried. I’m actually getting my nails done at 12. I can’t waitCan we show each other our nails without outing ourselves? Lol
It’s gel over your normal nails. It’s less expensive for me.What is the difference between acrylic and BIAB? Is it gel just over your normal nails and is it more expensive, more upkeep?
I'm a serial nail biter but my nails are so thin and fragile.
Thanks for this. I have infills every fortnight so would I be able to go longer in between appointments if I had this?It’s gel over your normal nails. It’s less expensive for me.
My nails never grew long. No matter what they would break.
After the advice here I have been getting BIAB since June and my nails are so long now
I’ve been going every 3 weeks but I guess it depends how you feel about them growing outThanks for this. I have infills every fortnight so would I be able to go longer in between appointments if I had this?

My nails today
I do my own nails: BIAB, colour, then top coat. Lasts about 3 weeks if I let it. Super easy to infill myself - I file off the top coat & colour, file back the BIAB, shape the free edge, prep the nail and apply fresh everything.Thanks for this.

Which brand of BIAB are you using at home? I usually do my gels at home but haven't found a decent home-use BIAB yet.I do my own nails: BIAB, colour, then top coat. Lasts about 3 weeks if I let it.

You apply BIAB just like a polish - if you can handle that, maybe you can try doing this yourself? I'd absolutely begrudge paying for BIAB/ gels these days.
My top tip to anyone who wants to stretch the time you make your nails last: ombre! I blend a colour from the free edge downwards, around a third of the nail, leaving the rest "nude" (just BIAB), then add a topcoat. You get all the joy of having your nails did with none of the obvious growth you get from a solid colour.
Mine go 2 weeks - they grow so fast with BIAB and I hate the look of the growth. I would never take it off now tbh, even if I only used one coat for a little extra strength (with The Gel Bottle you don’t need a base coat with most of their BIABs, only the clear one which I don’t use)they’re pretty.
Sorry some questions on BIAB
How long does it last between treatments?
is it easy to do it for a period, say a few months until your nails are a bit stronger then switch to gel?
I've really enjoyed the clear Mylee one, and see it reviewed pretty positively. I've had my bottle for exactly 6 months and I reckon I'll get another 3 out of it. Love that I don't need a base with it. Absolutely zero complaints from me! Gonna get the pink one as well.Which brand of BIAB are you using at home?
