Nail Foundation: Nail Ridge Filler
What are nail ridges?
Nail ridges, or the vertical lines running along the length of the nail from the cuticle to the free edge, create an uneven surface on the nail. Naturally, everyone has some degree of ridges on their nails, akin to wrinkles on the skin - an almost inevitable sign of ageing. Deep ridges can be physically felt by running a finger over the nail. This uneven texture can detract from the nail's appearance and complicate the application of nail polish. Besides natural ageing, external factors can also dry out the nail, exacerbating nail ridges.
What causes nail ridges?
Often a result of natural ageing, nail ridges can also indicate more brittle nails. While gradual nail ridges usually aren't a cause for concern, finding a way to treat or conceal them is crucial for maintaining your nails at their best.
What does a nail ridge filler do?
A nail ridge filler works by placing tiny particles and fillers into the lower, grooved areas of the nail, levelling them with the higher ridges to create a smooth surface. This process enhances the nail's visual appeal and provides a smoother canvas for nail polish.

The best way to treat nail ridges.
While there's no permanent solution for treating onychorrhexis (the medical term for nail ridges), the Nail Foundation from Pink Gellac provides an effective cosmetic solution. It's important not to buff away nail ridges, as this can make the nail thinner and weaker. Instead, the Nail Foundation offers a safe and effective way to minimise the appearance of nail ridges while contributing to the nail's health.
How to prevent nail ridges?
Caring for your nails and the skin around them is crucial to prevent nail ridges to some extent. Regularly apply cuticle oil to the cuticles and use a hand cream frequently.
