Best Nail Ridge Filler of 2025

"I can't understand how this works, but it feels like magic. When applied correctly, it leaves my nails with a smooth surface ready for anything. I’ve used it alone and with color, and it looks great either way. I believe you’d need really huge ridges for this not to work!"

"As someone with pronounced vertical ridges, I was thrilled to find this product. After trying it, I realized it made all the difference! Using it with an OPI base coat followed by a thin layer of the ridge filler transformed my nails completely. Highly recommended!"

"This ridge filler is the best I’ve ever used! It hides ridges completely and makes my nails smooth and natural without needing polish. I’m definitely making this my go-to product from now on!"

"I couldn't wait to try this product when I got it. After removing BIAB from one nail, I noticed a fairly strong smell. It made my nail feel stronger and filled imperfections, but once dried, it wasn't completely smooth and had some bubbles. I tried it again, and it looked much better!"

"I held off on my review to see if I truly liked this product. I absolutely love it! It makes even my cheapest nail polish perform like a charm. My nails are healthier, prettier, and have stopped breaking. It doesn't bubble under color, smooths the nail surface, and extends the life of the polish. I even use it as a top coat for the best shine!"

"Having struggled with thin, peeling nails, I decided to try this product after reading good reviews. It's a soft light pink with a slight shimmer, and I've had it on for four days without any chipping or peeling. It's too early to see if it will strengthen my nails, but this is a great start!"

"I often deal with ridges on my nails, and I find that using a nail ridge filler really helps them look more flawless. I love anything by Barielle!"

"Having struggled with weak nails for years, I started using this product two weeks ago. Now, my nails feel stronger and I no longer deal with peeling!"

"After spending a lot on various brands like OPI and Essie, I can say the Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler is the only one that has truly made a difference. It's worth every penny!"

"After removing my acrylics, this is the only product that makes my nails stronger. The ridge filler is a MUST because it starts to strengthen my nails on its own. I use the strengthener on top for at least 7 days, and my nails become harder and stronger. I recommend getting the ridge filler first for healthy nails."

"I started using this product about six months ago, and it worked great. It leveled the ridges in my nails, and they grew like crazy. Recently, I noticed some of my nails were lifting, which I found concerning. I read that this polish can make nails too hard and brittle, and I'm now hoping my nails recover."

"The product arrived well packaged and works well for me. It helps hide imperfections and gives my nails a professional look. I would definitely purchase again as needed."

"I have ridged, peeling nails and nothing worked until I tried this product. I applied it on Sunday and added a third coat today. My nails now look and feel smooth, with a nice shine, and I consider this a win so far!"

"I rarely write reviews, but this product is a game-changer! After nearly two years of hot gel nails, my nails were in terrible shape with deep ridges. I put a few coats of this on, and now my nail bed is smooth enough for polish. It truly does everything it claims!"

"Initially, I received this treatment as a gift. I’ve struggled with peeling and splitting nails and after using two coats regularly, I’m down to only two problematic nails! I would give it five stars if the price were a bit lower, as I’d love a multi-bottle discount."

"My nails were peeling, so I tried this product on my stylist's recommendation, and it’s actually helping my nails."

"After using this product for 20+ years, I now have nice, sturdy nails. Just follow the directions!"

"At 66, I’ve finally achieved long, healthy fingernails. This product made a huge difference, and I still follow the directions."

"I've tried numerous base coats, but this base coat has been a game-changer. It doesn't harden my brittle nails and fills ridges beautifully, making my polish look great without peeling."

"I recently developed ridges on my nails, and after applying two coats of this product, the surface felt smooth. The ridges are still slightly visible up close, but when I apply color on top, they become indistinguishable. I highly recommend this product!"

"After using this product, my nails feel stronger. The application is easy, and it dries quickly. I allowed it to dry thoroughly between coats, and it lasts about a week unless I'm in water. Overall, I'm satisfied with this ridge filler!"

"I've used Eternal ridge filler and their nail polishes; they are truly quality products that are effective and priced right!"

"I ordered this online because I was too lazy to check CVS. I have weird little ridges and uneven surfaces, and this product really evened things out under my polish. I'm very happy with the results and will definitely buy again."

"This ridge filler goes on thick and rich, but dries quickly, leaving a glossy surface for my colored polish. I have lots of ridges in my nails due to age, but this product makes them look smooth again."

"I can highly recommend this product! My nails were damaged from years of gel and powder dip, but I was surprised after the first application. If I continue to see positive results, I will use this as my base coat and start adding color again."

"As a fix-it person, I was excited to try ‘nail spackle’ for my chipped and peeling nails. Unfortunately, it was just cheap nail polish that didn't enhance my nails at all. It claims to cover imperfections, but I found it useless. Don't waste your money."

"I struggle with weak nails and keeping them at a decent length. This product does a great job adhering to my nails for extended periods without peeling off. It has truly improved the look of my nails."

"I’ve worn press-ons for years, and my nails have ridges and dips. After a quick search, I found this ridge filler and decided to give it a shot despite my reservations about Essie polish. It worked wonders! I used two coats on my thumbs, which were a mess, and they turned out great. I’ll definitely purchase again!"

"Originally, I wasn't impressed, but now I see the benefits of this enamel. It makes my nails look better, smooths the nail plate, and gives a shiny finish. It lasts for weeks! I’m very satisfied now."

"This ridge filler is a game-changer for my at-home manicures. It transforms uneven nail beds into a smooth canvas for polish. I highly recommend it if you want that polished look!"
