Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler For Dry, Brittle, Ridged Nails & Nail Growth, Fill and Smooths Nail Ridges, Strengthening Base Coat 0.5 Ounce

I have deep ridges in my fingernails due to ageing and thyroid disease. I file them a smooth as I can but you can only file them so much. Barielle Ridge Filler smooths my nails so when I add polish the remaining ridges don't show.'

I love this stuff! The older I get the worse my nails are. This is the only product I found that adequately fills the ridges in my nails with one coat.

I have only used it once. It went on very smooth.I applied one base coat, two coats color OPI and two coats of OPI top coat. The nail polish is chipping. I do my nails every week. I normally do not have chipping. I will try it once again.

If you have dry, thin or ridged nails this product is for you. I wear it alone to strengthen my nails or as a basecoat, you will not be disappointed. It dries with a mat finish, so you cam layer to protect your nails.

This product is promoted as a ridge filler. As I guess it did made my nails feel smoother; however, it did not hide the ridges as you can see by the photo. I have 3 coats on.

The old you get the more uneven, your nail bed is. This product makes all the bumps and ridges go away and when you put your colored nail polish on, it will look smooth just the way it’s supposed to look.

Definitely more cons than pros for this product...First, this product does take a while to dry on one's nails! In today's world, if any nail product takes more than 15 minutes to dry, it's not a good product. I put on one coat of this onto my nails on Wednesday (2/8), hoping that it would smooth the ridges on at least 4 of my fingernails. Then, I waited 15 minutes to apply the 2nd coat - all of my nails seem to devour the 1st coat, which then created a matte finish; I do like a little bit of shine on my nails so, I applied the 2nd coat. Waited over an hour and, like another poster wrote, my nails were still tacky. Not good. Considering that I needed to go out at another hour after doing this, I thought for sure that my nails would have been fully dried by then. Nope! Still tacky. So I rushed putting on a coat of SecheVite onto my nails, which I know dries everything within 5 minutes! "STRIKE 1!"Second, yesterday I checked my nails to see if the ridges on the aforementioned nails were lessened. For the nails that had light to moderate ridges, there was some smoothing. However, I have one nail that has some deep ridges, and this didn't do anything at all. I thought to myself "hmm, maybe I need to keep this product up for a while to see better results." So, for me, that's a "maybe" at best, considering the cost of this product. "Ball 1!"Third - another thing I noticed yesterday is that my nails now seem very dry so, I'm not so sure about this product's moisturizing capabilities. I had to put lotion on my hands 4 times, with a bit of emphasis on my nails and cuticles so they wouldn't look and feel so dry. "STRIKE 2!"Number 4 - here it is, late Friday afternoon/evening... would you believe that the polish chipped off 2 of my nails??!!! No longevity here! I was hoping that this would have stayed on my nails for at least 4 days! "STRIKE 3! YOU'RE OUT!!!"I won't buy or use this product again! Very disappointing results. I'll go back to NailAid products - at least with the NailAid products, for their costs, they work okay. They're not great, but they're good. And, they stay on my nails for at least 3-4 days!

It takes 2 coats, but works very well filling the ridges on my fingernails. The only product I have tried that has done so, and I have tried many!
