Issue No. 006

Hello and welcome to Beyond the Paint, a blog by Bio Seaweed Gel (BSG).
Each Wednesday we will be releasing new content that will discuss all things nails and more.

Meet the BSG Family

If you have been around since 2006, the beginning of Bio Seaweed Gel, you may be well aware that BSG is a proudly Canadian and family-owned business. Starting from the basement of our family home to now an office and fulfillment center fully operated by family and friends; family is an essential backbone of this business. Being a Canadian family business, we had the privilege of celebrating Family Day this past Monday and in honour of that, we wanted to take this opportunity to put a spotlight on BSG’s family of products. Some of you may be familiar with our current line of products, but a little fun BSG history fact that you may not have known: our first ever product, our first born if you will, was ‘Colour Gel in a Pot’, a non-soak off colour gel that is now discontinued.

BASE AND TOP GEL

Another fun fact: we actually did not launch colour gel polish in bottles right away! Base and top gel polish were the secondary set of products launched with Colour Gel in a Pot. We currently offer 4 different base and top gel polishes: Diamond Shine Top, No Sanding-Base, Upgraded No-Wipe Top, and Stronger Base-1. All of our Base Gel Polish offers strengthening and smoothing to your natural nails and requires no primers, bonders or heavy sanding for application. All of our Top Gel Polish offers high shine, scratch resistance wear, with no discolouration or staining over time.

UNITY ALL-IN-ONE GEL POLISH

UNITY All-In-One Gel Polish is our revolutionary line of colour gel polish, that combines our No-Sanding Base, No-Wipe Top and colour gel polish in one bottle. What this means is you do not need to perform the additional steps of applying a base gel or top gel because it is already in the formula! With this self-leveling and zero shrinkage pure gel formula, you can achieve a high shine gel manicure quicker and easier. A unique feature of this gel polish is that it does not require the use of a LED/UV lamps to cure, as it boasts an innovative SolarCure technology that allows the gel to be cured using natural sunlight. UNITY is currently available in 153 colours.

3STEP COLOUR GEL POLISH

3STEP Colour Gel Polish is our first line of colour gel polish in a bottle. As the name suggests, it is a traditional three-step colour gel polish formula that requires the application of a base and top gel. This pure gel formula provides 2+ weeks of high shine and chip-free wear, while promoting natural nail growth. 3STEP is currently available in 129 colours.

 SPECIALTY GEL POLISH

BSG also carries two lines of specialty gel polishes, PHASES Gel Polish and Rhinestone Gel Polish which are an extension of the 3STEP Gel Polish line. They are the same formula as 3STEP however each specialty gel has a unique effect and properties. PHASES is a colour changing gel polish that changes colours when in different temperatures, allowing you to have two colour looks in one. Rhinestone is a highly pigmented colour gel polish with metallic and glitter flakes that gives you an intense sparkle look that is still smooth to the touch.

SCULPTING GEL SYSTEM

Another OG product that was launched before our lines of gel polish in a bottle, is our Sculpting Gel System. Beneath every great nail look is a strong foundation, and that is exactly what our Sculpting Gel System was made to do. Available in 7 different formulas ranging from Base, Builder, to Top Sculpting Gel- this system can be used to strengthen natural nails, fortify artificial tip extensions and create sculpting gel extensions. Like our gel polishes, this gel formula is also self-leveling with an added benefit of higher flexibility (means it will not crack as easily!).

BEBIO NAIL LACQUER

Of course, we had to have in our BSG family, the mother polish of all polishes – nail lacquer! Our BeBio Nail Lacquer is a high-quality traditional nail polish that does not require the use of an LED/UV lamp to dry. BeBio provides up to 7+ days of chip-free wear and allows you to enjoy no discoloration or staining to your natural nails. Our BeBio Nail Lacquer is currently available in 137 shades, which are matching shades of our 3STEP Colour Gel Polish and select UNITY All-In One Gel Polish. We love this matching set combo for having coordinating manicure and pedicures.

 DIP POWDER SYSTEM

Last but not least, one of our latest addition to our growing family we have the Dip Powder System. Dip Powder is an alternative soak-off system to gel and acrylic which offers the most superior strength out of all our products, 2+ weeks of chip-free colour wear, and promotes natural nail growth. This system is an air-dry product meaning it does not require the use of any LED/UV lamps to dry. Available in 124+ shades, the Dip Powder colour range is inspired by the 3STEP Gel Polishes and BeBio Nail Lacquers.
