Builder Gel and BIAB: Your Questions
Is this a BIAB kit?
BIAB is the name many people use for builder-in-a-bottle gel. Our Fibre Fix 5-in-1 is a builder gel of that type: a thick, self-levelling gel you brush on and cure under the LED lamp to strengthen natural nails. This kit gives you the gel and the lamp you need to do it at home.
How long does builder gel last?
Typically 2–3 weeks without chipping or lifting, with good nail prep. Many customers do an infill or a fresh set every 2–3 weeks.
What is the difference between builder gel (BIAB) and gel polish?
Gel polish is a thin coloured layer. Builder gel is thicker and adds structure, so it protects weak nails and lasts longer. You can wear Fibre Fix on its own or put gel colour on top.
How do I remove it?
Lightly buff the top layer, then soak with acetone wraps for 10–15 minutes and gently push the gel off. No heavy filing needed. See our guide to soaking off builder gel at home.
I have never done BIAB nails before. Is it hard?
No. Builder gel is one of the most beginner-friendly systems because it is a single gel, with no powders or liquids. Follow the video tutorial, and if you are brand new, read what BIAB nails are first.

Important note for avoiding sunlight exposure:
Our LED lamps do an amazing job of setting the gels, but the light from the sun also acts in the same way, just on a bigger scale! So make sure you don't expose your gel palettes to any sunlight coming through your windows, and when you're not using the gels, keep the caps and Palette lid closed and store in a cool, dry place.
EU Approved
At Ambedo Beauty, your safety always comes first. Many gel products on the market still use TPO (Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide), a photoinitiator recently banned in the EU due to safety concerns around skin sensitivity and toxicity.
Our products are different. Instead of TPO, we use the upgraded and safer alternative TPO-L (Ethyl trimethylbenzoyl phenylphosphinate). TPO-L delivers the same high-performance curing power with a cleaner safety profile and lower risk of irritation, making it the modern standard in nail technology.
With Ambedo, you can enjoy salon-quality results at home knowing your gels are formulated with cutting-edge safer science and are free from outdated and potentially harmful ingredients.
12 Free
What Does 12-Free Mean?
A 12-Free label signifies that our product is free from the 12 most toxic substances often present in conventional gel and nail polishes.
Ambedo Solid Gel Polish Excludes:
Formaldehyde – Typically used to harden polish, formaldehyde is a recognised carcinogen. Prolonged exposure may trigger skin irritation, allergies, and has connections to cancers of the respiratory system.
Toluene – Responsible for the strong, chemical aroma in some polishes, toluene ensures even dispersion of colour pigments for a smooth finish. However, inhalation or contact may harm the nervous system, causing headaches, dizziness, or nausea, and is suspected to heighten risks of developmental issues during pregnancy.
Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – Acting as a plasticiser and solvent, DBP enhances polish flexibility to resist chipping. Yet, skin absorption is linked to reproductive harm, fertility challenges, and congenital abnormalities.
Camphor – Artificial camphor lends a high-shine effect but may induce nausea, migraines, or lightheadedness with prolonged use.
Formaldehyde Resin – Though it strengthens nails, this derivative can irritate skin and compromise immune function.
Xylene – Used to maintain a smooth consistency, xylene’s harsh vapours (common in industrial products like adhesives) may damage vital organs, including the liver and kidneys, upon overexposure.
Parabens – These preservatives, prevalent in cosmetics, mimic oestrogen and are tied to hormonal disruptions.
Fragrances – Synthetic scents often contain undisclosed chemical blends that may provoke rashes, itching, or worsen skin conditions like eczema.
Phthalates – Added to increase product malleability, these chemicals are associated with heightened cancer risks.
Ethyl Tosylamide – This plasticiser and film-forming agent improves polish durability but raises concerns due to limited safety data.
Triphenyl Phthalate (TPHP) – A dual-purpose plasticiser and flame retardant, TPHP’s potential endocrine-disrupting effects remain under scrutiny.
HEMA – known for its adhesive properties, uncured HEMA can cause severe skin allergies and sensitivities.
By avoiding these ingredients, Ambedo prioritises safety without compromising on vibrant colour, longevity, or shine. Our formula champions wellness, ensuring your nail routine keeps you beautiful both inside and out.

I’ve been using the BBIA Gel Tint lately and I’m honestly impressed! The formula feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips without being sticky. It glides on smoothly, gives a beautiful glossy finish, and leaves behind a lovely stain even after the shine fades.
I can finally stop going to the nail salon. Even a beginner like me did a professional looking job. Definitely recommend.
This is the best nail builder I have used, followed tutorial. So easy to apply, no flooding of cuticles, nail is still flexible but feel’s extremely strong, I’m trying to grow my nail long. This is a great nail system and I love that I’m supporting an Australian company along with great pricing. Thank you Ambedo.
Was looking for an at home nail set or system when I saw Ambedo’s add pop up on Facebook the statement we won best at home ‘something’ got me in lol! Went straight to researching, I purchased 5 in 1 build a gel’s and the nail set ( I can’t believe how easy it is to use.) I have since purchased more sets for Christmas presents for my daughter’s as they were impressed with my first attempt at fake nails, they thought I had gone to the salon. I’m going to save a fortune!
Love how easy the process is! The first colour i used in the builder gel kit was cloudy kiss.....stunning and long lasting. Colour looks as fresh as the day applied week later. Love it🙏
I purchased not only the pallet colours but the 5-in1 build a base. I was sooo impressed with both products. Ive tried a dip system before, it was more expensive and chipped within days. I love that you don't even need a base cost for the 5-in-1. Its so much quicker and less messy than the dip systems. Im so impressed im about to do my second order. This photo is after a week of working in childcare!!! Very impressed for my first application.
First time doing my own nails (except for nail polish previously). Used to get my nails done professionally with BIAB, but won’t be doing that any more!! These turned out so beautifully on the first try. Love the self leveling. Easier than I thought it would be. Hopefully it won’t be hard to remove when the time comes.
I am so happy with the Azure 6-pan palette. The colours are lovely and combined with the soft nail tips I'm constantly being complimented on my nails 🥰
Have always hated my hands, especially my nails. Could never get the right look. Ambedo has changed that for me. My nails look like a professional has done them. Smooth, sleek and last a long time. Super impressed.
Im so in love with these shades!
I LOVE that kit has everything you need! I'm not one to spend money on my nails so having this diy kit was very much my style. I'm quite impressed with how well it went for my first attempt, but I need some practice.
Works really well
I am so glad to have tried Ambedo - the builder gel is amazing. I am so happy - it has been a great change to sitting in a salon for an hour or more and spending $90 each time. Colours are fabulous and it is all so easy. Thank you!
Hi J M, thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the builder gel colours, and the convenience of doing your nails at home. We really appreciate you choosing Ambedo Beauty!
Doesnt last. Peels off
Hi Milly!
We're sorry to hear about your experience. The most common reasons that gels peel off is from nail prep (not using alcohol wipes to remove residue, not buffing) and painting over cuticles/flooding the space between the nails and skin. We would love to assist you in getting the best results possible to make the gel last for weeks, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email, website chat, or social DMs so we can help you get an amazing mani! x
Kindest regards,
Team Ambedo
I'm so thankful to have found this product. It's helping me through the process of reviving my seriously damaged nails, keeping them from shredding away on a daily basis. I'm not a nail tech, so there is definitely a learning curve but the videos make the process easy to learn and approachable.
We're so happy to hear that our BIAB Builder Gel Starter Kit is helping you on your nail rehabilitation journey! Please reach out if you need any more tips, tricks and advice on perfecting your builder gel applications, we're here to help. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your support. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely love this BIAB and the kit comes with everything you need. The colours are gorgeous and the pots are a generous size, so they’ll last a while. I was worried i would mess up the application, being my first time - but they look salon quality - I’m so impressed! Recommended to a friend, who’s purchasing a kit too!
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate it and can't wait to bring out even more gorgeous products for you in the future x
Have wanted a product to strengthen my long nails. The builder gel was easy to apply and has given my nails the strength needed. Excellent product, highly recommend.
I am so impressed with this product. So easy to apply and has not even chipped once after two weeks of wear. The only reason I’ll need to remove soon is because my nails are growing out. Never found anything that lasts as long as this. Will be buying more colours! Thank you for making this product. Love!!!
I think I will get the hang of it all once I have done my nails a few times. The first try with my shaky old hands was not a good job by me, the 2nd time was much better, and I like the way it goes on and lasts. Much nicer outcome than normal nail polish.
Thank you Maureen
Hi Maureen!

I recently bought the BIAB starter kit, and I love it. I have been to so many salons and I think that most of them are focused on turning over as many customers as possible- nothing wrong with that - they are a business after all. But I think the pressure to turn people over quickly leads to aggressive and over-filing of nails. Now that I’m in my 50’s, my nails are naturally thinner and weaker than they were, so over-filing has become a bit of a sore-point with me. My first application done at home, and everybody was commenting on my nails! Which was weird because my nails were always done ? Anyways, highly recommend this product:-)
This is an amazing product! My nails have never been so long. They are so healthy and strong too. So much easier to do after a couple of times using it, and it lasts for more than 2 weeks. Plus I'm always washing dishes and not being gentle on my nails at all and it still looks perfect! I would highly recommend this product!
I have just started using the 5 in 1 gel and found it helps my nails to stay strong and grow.
Great at home option for BIAB. No remover included. No instructions for removal or infills. UV lamp didn’t work.
The BiAB is an amazing product. For the last few years I’ve used regular polish after stopping salon nails due to the price and nail damage. My skills with this kind of application started at zero. Even my first try looked pretty good. I just did one nail, removed and tried again. By my third try I was really happy and did all my nails which look amazing. The fact that you can infill rather than remove every time and add regular or gel polish on top makes this product a total winner for me
