Honestly, nail polish constantly peels and never last longer than a day. I found this ridge filler in my grandmas nail cupboard. It works wonders with smoothing out my nails and adds an amazing colour! Plus it lasts great!!!

I bought this a month ago and it's horrible. It doesn't smooth ridges, it creates them and no matter how much you try to put it on smoothly, it just looks messy and spreads.

When I first applied it I thought it was great. But ever since then it is very gloopy and sticky so I can't use it. I done it up properly so it's not that that's the problem. I tried it again today and is worse

We appreciate you taking the time to try our Repair + Rescue Insta-Smooth Ridge Filler. Even though this product was great when you first applied it, we are sorry to hear it has become very sticky and gloopy. This is not the experience we hope for you to have, and we will be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate teams. We suggest adding 1 or 2 drops of acetone-free nail polish remover to the bottle to try and thin it out. If this product still does not work for you, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us. You can give us a call at 1-800-953-5080 or send an email via the Contact Us page on our website.

Excellent thick filler

I’d be a forever customer if this product came in a clear format. The formula is excellent for filling ridges, outperforming my previous brand I used and can no longer find in stores. Really great base coat, if you like a solid pink it takes three coats to look decent.
Excellent ridge filler but make a clear version!

After searching for my usual ridge filler product in store for quite some time I settled on Sally’s because it was on sale and the only one available. I wish this product was clear, I’d be a forever customer as it filled my ridges very well- outperforming my previous filler. I think this product looks best is you use it as a base product, If you’re wearing it by itself you need three coats for it to look decent.
No concealment at all

I bought this hoping to conceal the harsh ridges my nails have developed but it did the opposite. After two coats, my ridges were highlighted by the nail color like big stripes. It was terrible. I’m really disappointed in this product and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Does not fill any ridges

Does not fill any ridges and is ridiculously expensive. You might as well just use a base coat.

We appreciate you taking the time to try our Repair + Rescue Insta-Smooth Ridge Filler. We are sorry to hear this product did not fill in any ridges. This is not the experience we hope for you to have, and we will be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate teams. To ensure proper application and to help nail polish last longer, we have provided some helpful tips below: -Before applying nail polish, we recommend wiping your nails with nail polish remover and then washing your hands with warm water to remove excess oils and dirt. -Don't buff your nails as this can make the nail surface too smooth for the polish to take hold. -After applying nail polish, allow enough time for it to dry and set. If possible, avoid hot baths and heavy housework for 12 -24 hours after doing your nails. Detergents and household cleaners can make nail polish wear off quickly. If this product still does not work for you, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us. You can give us a call at 1-800-953-5080 or send an email via the Contact Us page on our website. We will be more than happy to help you out further.

this worked wonders for me! It smoothed and primed my nails, and made them look brighter in just a couple of days!

The color is cute and it somewhat fills any cracks, however it started chipping on all of my nails by day 3 and two of my nails still broke with three coats of this on. I don’t have long nails and I don’t have a very laborious job where I’m using my fingers constantly.
Kinda goopy

It does somewhat fill in cracks but I would never wear it alone. Also I saw no improvement on the strength of my nails. Been using for over two weeks, still had to cut my nails super short
works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great under nail polish. Goes on super smooth. Would definitely add this to my routine
It’s a pretty color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s definitely a pretty color. However it recommends 1-2 coats and really you need 3. It does not give you full coverage with 2. After it dried it does have a nice firm feeling to it and after having the polish on for 5 days it really is holding up. No chipping. I don’t think it takes care of the ridges as well as it states though.

Extremely disappointing and a waste of time. The nail polish literally comes out in globs. If I could give -1 star on how bad it was I would.
Amazing for damaged nails.

Wow. This worked. I decided it was finally time to try natural manicures on my very thin and flexible nails. I had acrylic powder on for nearly a year, and despite gentle removal, my thin nails were very damaged. I was tired of how unsightly they appeared so gave this a go. I wish I had taken before pictures! You can still slightly see the damage, but I’m telling you, it’s 98% better with this product painted on my nails. Highly recommend. Thin coats, work quickly and apply a top coat or polish after the product is completely dry.

I love this ridge filler! It contains great ingredients for your nails, smooth out your nail bed, and is great if you’re going to wear a sheer polish. When I wear this, I can drop my color down to two coats. If I use a clear base coat, I have to use three coats of color for some of my sheerer polishes.
Matte finish- dries super fast
3 out of 5 stars
mkf29 - 2 years ago
Matte finish, which I wasn't expecting. It dries super fast, making it a little difficult to work with. If you don't work fast enough, it will look chunky and streaky. It probably would work well under another nail polish but I was more looking for something effortless that I could wear by itself. I might try the OPI nail envy but I wanted to try this first with the lower price point.
Works well to give a smooth appearance

If you know how to apply it, it works well to smooth out the ridges but I am wondering if it has any restorative properties as well..

I was hoping this would dry clear or at least in a neutral tone, but it leaves behind a matte, pepto bismol-colored finish that made me immediately want to paint over it with normal polish. The nail surface did feel smoother after application, but long-term results are yet to be seen. It does dry fast, which is a plus, but the fact that it can't really be worn on its own as advertised is a little annoying. I was hoping to give my nails a break from constant polish coverage, but maybe this stuff will keep them from peeling and cracking in between fresh coats.
