Her nails look so good, people think they’re fake.
One thing I’m grateful for is that I got my family’s genes for long and strong nails. My great-grandma, grandma, and mom all have nails that could fool even the most trained eye into believing they’re acrylics. While that was my reality, it no longer is because of my frequent trips to the nail salon, where I’d get gel and acrylics without a break. My mom said she went through a similar situation and swore by Modelones Nail Ridge Filler to strengthen and smooth her weak, textured nails. I plan on stocking up for myself while it’s on sale for $13 on Amazon.
The nail strengthener is formulated with three key ingredients: vitamin E to protect and nourish, jojoba oil to moisturize, and keratin to strengthen. It has three color options, including pink, white, and clear, and lasts up to seven days. The multi-use product can be used as a standalone polish or as a base coat to give your nails a smooth and even finish. It can also be used as a strengthening treatment for weak or thin nails if applied every three days.

Everything I’ve put my nails through, my mom has been there and done several times over. So when I told her I needed to get my nails back to their previously strong and long state, she immediately pulled a bottle of Modelones Nail Ridge Filler out of her purse. After years of getting gel, her nails became super fragile and would start to bend and crack. She applied two to three coats of the strengthening treatment to her nails twice a week and said her nails immediately felt “durable and not as flimsy.”
After two months of consistent use, her nails were no longer cracking down her nail bed and weren’t chipping off during daily tasks like typing on a keyboard. Now, she only uses it once every other week and gets tons of compliments since her nails look fake. She also said it’s great under other polishes because it prevents the nail from being stained by dark shades, plus leaves a smooth and even base for a flawless finish. I’ve just started using it myself, and upon immediate application, my nails feel sturdier; the milky white color has a flattering, natural-looking finish, too. I now understand why it has more than 50,000 five-star ratings at Amazon—and my mom won’t leave the house without it.
