The "Instant Smooth" Hack: How to Hide Ridged Nails Without Damage

Introduction
Run your thumb over your fingernail. Is it perfectly smooth, or do you feel vertical lines and bumps?
Nail Ridges are incredibly common. They can be caused by aging, vitamin deficiencies, or just genetics. While they are harmless, they are annoying—especially when you apply metallic or white polish, which seems to highlight every single imperfection.
Your instinct might be to grab a buffer block and file them down.
Don't! Buffing away ridges thins your nail plate, making it weak and prone to splitting.
At TsukiNails, we have a better solution. Here is why press-ons are the ultimate "Ridge Filler."

1. The "New Surface" Concept
Think of a press-on nail as a veneer for your teeth.

• The Logic: Instead of trying to fix the uneven surface of your natural nail, you are simply placing a brand new, perfectly smooth surface on top of it.

• The Result: You get that "Liquid Glass" reflection that is impossible to achieve on ridged natural nails, without removing a single layer of keratin.

2. The Adhesive Acts as Filler
This is the secret science.

• How it works: When you apply Liquid Nail Glue or Adhesive Tabs, the product fills in the "valleys" (the low points) of your ridges.

• The Benefit: This creates a level playing field. The glue doesn't just stick; it creates a custom mold that fills the gaps, ensuring the press-on sits flat and secure.
