Ridge Filler Base Coat - Smoothing Nail Treatment, Clear

It really works. I have ridges on some of my fingernails and it has leveled them out and now they are smooth to touch. Has also helped keep the ridges from snagging on items and tearing into the quick. Would highly recommend this.

I bought ella + mila base coat, nail polish and top coat. I originally used just their polish. It wore better than other polishes I had used in the past but not as long as I had anticipated, plus it still chipped a bit on the second day. I contacted the seller about it and they were very helpful. They recommended that to get the full benefit of their products, I should use the base and top coats along with the polish. The photo attached to my review is a picture I took 4 days following application of all three products. There are no chips whatsoever! I even did moderate cleaning yesterday wearing no gloves! I am a believer, and will be a steady customer! Since it’s my first time wearing the polish, I’ve not yet removed it to see if my natural nails are still as strong and healthy as they were before applying. But I feel like they will be. When I removed just the polish the first time I tried it before the base and top coats, it came off very easily with polish remover and my nails looked just fine.

Works exactly as stated in the description.

I’m really happy with this ridge filler base coat. It goes on easily and smoothly, creating a nice even surface for polish. It also dries fairly quickly, which makes the whole manicure process easier. Once I applied my lacquer, it went on smoothly over the base, and the final result looked great. I’ve had it on for almost a week now, and my nails still look really good. I didn’t experience any irritation, which is always important, and the price feels very reasonable for the quality. Overall, this is a great base coat that delivers on smoothing and longevity—I’d definitely keep using it.

i think it was a hunch, when i read a few ingredients in this product, silica and silk, that it might help protect my weak nails. for the last 2 years, i used nail strengther (essie) in hope that my nails would respond positively to it. funny, only a thumb nail of my right hand did, but none others. i could've purchased a same essie stuff again, but i decided to put on a shield on my nails this time around, instead of a medicine. so far, i am happy that it does what i hoped it would. it's designed to be a base coat, so my nails may not become stronger, but at least they are not breaking or peeling underneath. I was losing my hope on nail strengther, but i have found a great alternative.
