Nail Ridges

pain pointcareprep

Vertical or horizontal ridges on the natural nail that can show through or snag a press-on.

Trend context

Nail ridges are common and usually benign. A light buff smooths the surface so press-ons sit flat and last; very ridged nails also benefit from a slightly thicker adhesive. Avoid over-buffing, which thins the nail.

How to get the look

Ridges are vertical or horizontal texture on the natural nail that can show through or snag a press-on; a light buff smooths the surface, and a ridge-filling base or builder gel evens it before the tip goes on.

How to wear

Manage ridges by buffing gently and choosing a slightly thicker or builder-backed press-on that spans the dip. Avoid over-buffing, which thins the nail; a smoothing base under the tip hides the line day to day.
