    Works great!!

    I purchased this polish to fill the ridges in my nails. So far so good. It goes on really smooth and dries fast. It covers your entire nail with one swipe (I used two tho my nails are pretty ridged). I've had the polish on now for about week and it still looks great. No chipping, no yellowing. They have a nice shine to them. I put pink nail polish on my pink to see how it would look with nail polish over it and it great!!! I think it makes the nail polish look better and you don't need as many coats of it when using this underneath it. This is very effective, durable, it really does work great. If you are looking for a ridge filler or even a base coat this is def the one. I think purchase price was good too, as I did compare. I highly recommend!!

    So far so good - my nails look healthy again.

    I ordered this is the nude and milk white. Decided to go with nude first.My nails have suffered a lot of damage from months and months of home-done glue on nails. They're scuffed up, peeling, thin from over buffing/roughing up. They need a little help until all the damage is grown out.I had to apply four coats to hide the ridges I've caused but it looks nice and gave them the warmth in terms of color that they were lacking.I only applied this morning, so it remains to be seen how long it lasts, but like all nail polish, I don't expect more than a few days given how hard I am on my hands.I don't expect to have nails of steel right now either - they were always brittle, now they're paper thin and brittle - and that's all my fault.I'm just happy my nails, while short, look healthy again.UPDATE: Applied three coats last Sunday. It held up quite well, only started looking a little rough by Friday. I always do my nails and toes on Sunday evening, so I took off the nude, used Milky White tonight. Three coats.Nails are noticeably stronger and longer. A few of the worst damaged ones have chipped off at the corners during the week and I had reshape them with an emery board. That is not the fault of this product, that's my fault, I've abused my nails for a very long time, it will take a while for the damage to grow out. That said, they've grown out about a quarter of an inch or more just in the past week. They look, and feel, amazing. I'll be ordering this in other colors.

    Best base coat for ridges! High quality plus functionality.

    Really works well as base coat. Fills in ridges better than most! I use 2 coats. Polish looks terrific, dries properly, smooth, lasts longer.

    Amazing ridge filler

    I started to notice some ridges on my nails and I didn't like the way it looked even with a base coat, 2 coats of polish and a top coat. They were still visible. I purchased the clear ridge filler and not only did it make the ridges completely disappear it also has helped my polish stay on longer and it helped with my overall nail condition. I would highly recommend.

FAQs

Is nail ridge filler good for your nails?

Yes, high-quality ridge fillers are excellent for your nails, especially if they contain conditioning ingredients. This GELLEN formula contains shea butter, vitamin E, and protein to actively hydrate, strengthen, and repair damaged nails while smoothing out surface unevenness.

How to use ridge filling strengthener?

To use it, start with clean, dry, and lightly buffed nails to remove excess surface oils. Apply a thin layer of the treatment and let it air dry completely for a few minutes before applying your colored nail polish or leaving it as a natural protective coat.

How long does ridge filler last?

When applied properly onto a clean nail bed, a ridge-filling base coat typically lasts between five to seven days. It creates a durable, high-adhesion foundation that helps your subsequent colored nail polish resist chipping and peeling for a longer period.
