Gel nails remain a popular choice for their glossy finish and durability. At The Venue, gel manicures are expertly prepared and applied to ensure smooth edges, even coverage and a flawless finish that lasts. Careful nail preparation plays a key role in reducing lifting and chipping, helping your nails stay looking immaculate for weeks. With a wide range of shades available, from timeless neutrals to seasonal colours, gel nails are tailored to suit both lifestyle and personal style.
For clients seeking additional strength, BIAB nails are a popular choice at The Venue. Builder In A Bottle is designed to reinforce the natural nail rather than extend it, making it ideal for weak, brittle or peeling nails. BIAB creates a strong yet flexible overlay that supports natural growth while maintaining a soft, elegant finish. Many clients choose BIAB as a longer-term solution, often noticing improved nail condition, reduced breakage and healthier growth with regular infills.
What sets The Venue apart is its balanced approach to nail care and aesthetics. Every appointment begins with a consultation to understand your nail condition, daily routine and preferences. This allows the nail technicians to recommend the most suitable option, whether that is gel polish or BIAB. Professional removal and infill appointments are carried out carefully, helping to protect the natural nail and maintain its condition over time.
Open Seven Days a Week with Late Evening Appointments
Flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of choosing The Venue for your nail appointments. The salon is open seven days a week, making it easy to book around work, family and social commitments. Midweek, The Venue is open until 9pm, which is ideal if you prefer evening appointments or need a manicure after a busy day. These extended hours make professional nail care far more accessible, without the need to rush or compromise.
Gel and BIAB Nails at The Venue FAQs
What is the difference between gel nails and BIAB nails?
Gel nails focus on colour, shine and durability, making them ideal for clients with relatively strong natural nails. BIAB is thicker and designed to add strength and structure, making it better suited to weak or brittle nails or those trying to grow their natural nails.
BIAB vs gel nails – which should I choose?
If your nails are already in good condition and you want long-lasting colour, gel nails are a great option. If your nails break easily, peel or struggle to grow, BIAB offers added support while still delivering a polished finish.
How does BIAB compare to acrylic nails?
Acrylic nails involve extensions created using powder and liquid, which can feel heavier and more rigid. BIAB works with your natural nail, feels lighter and more flexible, and is ideal for clients wanting strength without extensions.
How long do gel or BIAB nails last?
Both gel and BIAB nails typically last two to three weeks, depending on nail growth and lifestyle. BIAB is often more resistant to breakage, while gel nails may require more frequent maintenance on weaker nails.
Are gel and BIAB nails safe for natural nails?
Yes, when applied and removed professionally. At The Venue, careful preparation and safe removal techniques are used to protect the natural nail and support long-term nail health.
Can I add colour over BIAB?
Yes. BIAB can be worn alone for a natural look or finished with gel colour on top, giving you strength with the flexibility to change shades.
