Its a bit hard to get even for me, but im also pretty heavy handed with my polish. this is 2 coats of the smoothing base and i've been using it for a few weeks under my manis. I am very pleased with it!
This is the first Cracked product to ever disappoint me. All their lacquers so far have been wonderful! But their ridge filler leaves me with extremely noticeable ridges, more so than the thick regular base coat I general use. I do give it 2 stars instead of 1 as the light pink color seems versatile and inoffensive, but a product designed to do one thing should reliably do that one thing. I'm glad this works for some people, but it's not for me.
The formula is very thin and easy to apply. However, it does not blur my my very prominent ridges on my thumb nail. You can see the pictures: I have two coats of ridge filler and 2 coats of pickle plate. I can still see my ridges.
I’ve used ridge fillers from 2 other brands before and hated them. They both settled in the wrong places and took forever to dry. The cracked ridge filler couldn’t be more different. No lumps or obnoxious pooling, dries very fast, and easily fills in ridges and nail divots. I painted 2 thin coats and it gave all my nails a nice smooth base! Love the slight tint as well
It’s is the best base coat. I noticed a huge change in my nails and the health of them after using this as my primary base coat
It made the jelly polish on my very ridged fingers look smoother than usual
I am about a little less than halfway through my bottle and I am going back and forth with adding polish thinner to keep it easier to use. When it thickens up, it starts to get difficult for me to get it out of the bottle and onto my nails in a smooth coat. I do love the way it smooths everything over, though, and it dries fast. :)
I am borderline hyperthyroid and my nails show it. :( I have been very pleased with the Ridge Filler so far - the color is pretty on it's own, you could easily use it as a French manicure base. My ridges are quite pronounced on some nails so there's only so much any filler or topcoat combo can do, but I've been happy with this one. :) Would highly recommend. I might try doubling up on my problem nails in the future when I want to wear a light creme or neon again.
This does a good job filling ridges and staying neutral. It’s not great on its own like Neutralizer is, a little streaky in color for a standalone two coats.
I have a lot of ridges on my nails and 2 thin coats gave me a smooth canvas to paint over. It also dried quickly which was a plus! it is a bit streaky after 2 coats, but since I'll mostly be wearing it under other colours, I don't mind that too much
I don’t have super strong ridges but I liked how this went on and created a nice smooth base with just a blush of color. Self leveled great and dried quickly.
I’m so excited about this ridge filler! I’ve gravitated towards fun finishes because my nails have ridges and because I’m growing out damage and I’ve got all kinds of little dings and bumps. I haven’t felt comfortable wearing creams or jellies. But! Having full confidence in Cracked, I ordered this with several cream and jelly polishes and I am thrilled to report that this base does everything I need it to do to make sheer and smooth finishes work on my nails. I’m so pleased.
Wearing two coats of ridge filler and one coat of brownie pink.
I love this ridge filler! It's a gorgeous, soft, very sheer nude-pink tone that gives you that nice, smooth base you're always wanting from a ridge-filler.
Fills ridges beautifully and leaves a cute baby pink base!
Best ridge filler I’ve used!!
It definitely filled in my ridge on my thumb.
For the price, I can't complain too much, but I didn't find this as effective as other ridge fillers out there.
Elegant and glossy looks beautiful with just one coat
Don’t sleep on it!
It's a base coat so it's very sheer but can build to a nice crelly in three coats if you want to use it as your only polish. Under polishes it fills in the nail beautifully and makes a smooth shiny surface.
I have a biiiiggggg ridge on my thumb nail and this does absolute wonders! It’s also just a pretty plain sheer pink. 10/10, great if you need a ridge filler
I do like this base, but it isn’t my favorite. I think I prefer neutralizer.
Does what it says! I have had to add polish thinner to it because it got goopy half way through. About to buy my 2nd bottle.
I love this product, the color is beautiful and it works so well even before polish I feel like I have pretty ballerina nails LOL
This ridge filler is perfect. It covers well, and it doesn't show through too much for my more sheer polishes. I also like to use it on it's own when I just need something quick or neutral!
Smoothing and dried quickly, though had a very potent smell while working with it.
