Recommended products if you have uneven nails with ridges
Uneven nails with ridges are not uncommon and can develop with age, being a natural sign of ageing. Ridges can be camouflaged with a nail strengthener and nail polish, but it is also important not to use products that are too strong and which dry out your nails. We recommend the following products:

Use a nail strengthener to smooth out unevenness
Ridgefiller Nail Strengthener smooths out any unevenness and gives nails a beautifully smooth surface. Apply one or two thin coats and touch up with a new coat every three days to maintain the effect. You can use Ridgefiller as a nude-coloured polish or as a base coat under coloured polish.
/ START
Choose a gentle nail polish remover that is free from acetone
If you clean your nails with products that are too strong and contain acetone, for example, your nails will dry out. Depend’s environmentally adapted nail polish remover is mild and gentle, as well as free from acetone, oil and perfume. Available as a 75 ml dip-in and 100 ml and 250 ml bottles. Your nails may feel a little oily after removing polish, so rinse your hands and nails well with lukewarm water once all polish has been removed.
NB – do not use on artificial nails!
Step 2
Exfoliate and rehydrate your nails and cuticles
This may be a product for the smallest part of your body, but it has a big impact. Exfoliating is an easy way to completely transform your nails in just 1 minute! A cuticle peeling product combined with nail oil creates a solid foundation for strong, flexible nails. This kit includes both these products.
Exfoliate your nails once a week before applying nail polish and use the nail oil every day. The oil can be applied on top of your polish. You can watch our Kickstart film here in Depend Academy.
Step 3
Buffing your nails
File your nails using a 3-step buffing file. Begin with the roughest surface and finish with the grey one to achieve a smooth and glossy surface on which to apply polish. Remember to buff carefully with the first surface, which is the roughest, to avoid weakening the nail.
