Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler Base Coat – Fills and Smooth Unsightly Nail Ridges, For Dry, Brittle or Ridged Nails 0.5 Ounce

Milk Nail Look-LOVE IT.
This not only filled my nail ridges, it had the unexpected BONUS of giving my nails the milk nail look. I honestly LOVE IT. Other people review mention chipping- no more than any other polish, but this fills in easily & convincingly (you really can’t tell it’s a touch-up)! You’ll get a seamless fix just by applying a coat & brushing several times to blend the previous layer with the new. The finish is more matte than shiny which again- LOVE, super classy. Slap on a clear top coat if you prefer glossy.

Not for missing nail
I knew this wasn’t for a missing nail, especially the great toe nail, but I didn’t want to mess with powder build up. So my toe nail is growing back, half way up, so I tried to fill in the rest with this. To get it decently thickened on skin, I probably painted well over a dozen layers-plus, I didn’t feel like waiting very long for them to dry. It worked, sort of. I painted it gray and there’s a little black peace sign decal on it. Thus, it’s not as noticeable that at the 2 points where skin begins on each side of the nail, it depressed in a little. Good enough for the summer as it grows.

Ok
It doesn’t do the best job of smoothing out ridges. Looks glossy when dry.

NOT a good product for my needs!
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!

This is an honest review. My nails are very dry and have ridges on them which I just hate. I have used everything, OPI, Mavala, Onsen, and Essie. So I have also spent quite a bit of money to make my nails look presentable. The Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler is the only product that has made a difference. It doesn’t stay on like nail polish so you have to remove it every couple of days and reapply. If I am lazy I will just put a fresh coat over the chipped one. This does not claim to make ridges go away but mine are certainly much better and I think they are going away. I know it is expensive but think of what you ladies have already spent. My nails are not chipping around the ends and if I was more consistent with the application I’m sure they would be even more improved. I really like this product.

二枚爪になってしまい、爪をケアできる物を探していました。以前購入したものは、塗ると透明のマニキュアを塗ったのと変わらない感じになってしまい、習い事の都合でマニキュアはできないので、常用できませんでした。けれど、こちらは塗っても爪はうっすら白くなるだけで、質感はマットなままです。わかるほどに白くなっている商品写真は、複数回塗ったのではと思います。塗る時の匂いはマニキュアと変わりませんが、すぐ乾きますし、光らないのでお子さんや男性にもストレスなく使えるのではと思います。こういう物を探していたので嬉しいです。追記塗った当日はマットな感じですが、1日経つとややツヤが出ます。爪の表面を少し磨いたかな、という感じです。

日本語レビューがなかったですがOPIより安いので買ってみました。白濁色ですが塗ると透明に。ジェルで傷んでいるのでこれだけ塗ってますが、塗ると爪がキレイに見えます。乾きも早いです。乾けば、多少手をぶつけても跡が残ったりしないですよ。
