It seems that ridges are a sign of a whole range of different health problems... Anyway, even with thyroid treatment the ridges won't budge, at least in my case. I'm still looking for an acceptable ridge filler, never mind perfect. If I find it, I'll let you know. :)Magdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147737112432597931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-48843758999467428822018-01-20T19:17:16.566+01:002018-01-20T19:17:16.566+01:00Hiya, my nails look pretty much exactly like your...Hiya, my nails look pretty much exactly like yours. I use a couple of coats of super gel polish in a sheer pink colour over my base coat before moving on to the colour and it evens them right out. You would never know! It is a quite time consuming waiting for the extra layers to dry though. I have found that if you get impatient and don't wait for the gel to dry fully before moving on, it has a habit of shrinking... and that really doesn't look good! <br />Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352863774595356604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-56258245099760139892018-01-18T00:26:49.852+01:002018-01-18T00:26:49.852+01:00I've heard great things about Glisten and Glow...I've heard great things about Glisten and Glows ridge filler base coat, maybe give that one a try and see what you think? :)Rozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935221679449147000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-91528780036066072192017-06-28T20:11:15.624+02:002017-06-28T20:11:15.624+02:00Hello, my nails are just like yours, since I was t...Hello, my nails are just like yours, since I was thirty :( And I have been searching the web so long, but nothing. I asked 5 doctors about this... Now I am taking iron pills, but I don't know if it will work. Tought this happened because I became vegetarian, but my mother has this too, not as bad as us. Today I bought Mavala Ridge Filler, let´s see the results.

So even if NT doesn't fill out my ridges, it keeps my nails strong...<br />Your trick sounds like a great idea, thanks for sharing!Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-91841799305103416772016-03-22T20:12:06.106+01:002016-03-22T20:12:06.106+01:00Thank you so much for your review!

So far, nothing substantially better. I am 28, but have ridges almost as bad as yours, and if I buff them, my nails peel apart. The trick I discovered is to put one coat on, let it dry, then take a 240 buffer to smooth the peaks. This takes the peaks off of the ridge filler (do not buff into the nail), and then a second coat smoothes it right out! My current manicure has lasted 2 days longer than average, and it is just as smooth as can be. Basically, with this technique, use the fastest drying filler you have, and do 2-3 coats. Do not buff the top layer as you might see swirl marks in your polish. Also, Essie ridge filler is the BEST french manicure color I have ever used. I sandwich it between layers of Orly Nailtrition for a slightly shimmery natural look. It's a great way to get more out of polishes you probably already have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860320244959618399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-84626020982812675262015-10-16T12:37:34.454+02:002015-10-16T12:37:34.454+02:00Tusind tak for de søde orde Lone Antonie, du må me...Tusind tak for de søde orde Lone Antonie, du må meget gerne fortælle mig, hvad du synes om den ;)<br />Hvor plaget er du af riller i forhold til mig..?Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-43550310608794969152015-10-14T11:43:20.891+02:002015-10-14T11:43:20.891+02:00Interessant læsning, kære Maria.
