Say Goodbye to Builder Base: The Easy Way To Remove It By Soak-Off 

Are you ready to easily get rid of Builder Base from your nails? Removing Builder Base, also known as BIAB, doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the below soak-off method, you can say goodbye to your BIAB manicure effortlessly and quickly, leaving your nails ready for a fresh new look. Let's dive into the easy and effective process of removing Builder Base with a soak-off method.

What is Builder Base (BIAB)?

Builder Base, also known by some of you as BIAB, is a revolutionary nail product that combines the strength of acrylics with the flexibility of gels, offering easy application of gel polishes. Unlike traditional acrylic or gel extensions, Builder Base is applied directly to the natural nail. Packaged in a bottle like standard gel polish, its application is facilitated with a brush in the cap, eliminating the need for an extra brush as required with gels and acrylics.

Semilac Builder Base, know in Semilac as Extend 5in1, offers several advantages:

1. It enables nail extension of up to 1cm using a form.
2. It allows for overlay nails.
3. It functions as an all-in-one product, serving as a base, color, and top coat.
4. It offers a CARE version enriched with extra beneficial ingredients.
5. It boasts a long-lasting formula, lasting up to 4 weeks. However, the durability of the manicure depends on the entire process, including correct preparation of the nail plate and application of the product.
6. It is a cost-effective option, as it eliminates the need to purchase separate strong gels, gel polish colors, and top coats, providing nearly the same results in a single purchase.

One common concern is whether such a durable product can only be removed with e-file. However, the formula was specifically designed for easy removal using the minimally invasive Soak-Off method.

The Soak-Off Method: A Gentle Solution

The soak-off method is a gentle and safe way to remove Builder Base without damaging your natural nails. Unlike harsh filing or drilling methods, the soak-off method involves soaking your nails in acetone to dissolve the BIAB layers, allowing for easy removal.

Step-by-Step Guide to Soak Off Builder Base

1. Gather Your Supplies: To remove Builder Base with the soak-off method, you'll need acetone, cotton pads, aluminum foil, and a nail buffer. Semilac prepare product pack so you can purchase all you need in one click. Check it out >>here<<

2. Prep Your Nails: Use a nail buffer to gently buff the surface of your Builder Base manicure. This will help the acetone penetrate the layers more effectively.

3. Soak Your Nails: Soak cotton balls or cotton pads ( use the no dust cotton pads) in acetone and place them on each nail. Wrap each nail with aluminum foil to secure the cotton in place or simply use remover wraps that are already prepared . Allow your nails to soak for 10-15 minutes.

4. Remove the Foil: After soaking, gently remove the aluminum foil from each nail. The Builder Base should have softened, making it easy to remove with wooden stick or cuticle pusher ( we highly recommend to start using quality pusher - just remember to disinfect it ). Be gentle and avoid scraping too hard to prevent damage to your natural nails.

5. And now: Builder Base is stronger than a standard gel polish manicure, so depending on the thickness and sensitivity of your nails, you may need to repeat the soak-off process. Do not attempt to forcefully remove it if the varnish does not come off completely. Simply repeat the process. It is still easier than removing it with a nail drill.

6. Final Steps: Once you've removed the Builder Base, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any acetone residue. Apply cuticle oil or nail moisturizer to hydrate your nails and cuticles.
