Dermelect Makeover Smoothing Ridge Filler Lilac Base Coat 0.4 oz — Keratin & Peptide Strengthener

Dermelect Makeover Smoothing Ridge Filler Lilac is a keratin- and peptide-enriched base coat that smooths, strengthens, and subtly conceals ridges with a soft lilac sheen for healthier-looking nails.

This lightweight treatment combines protein and moisture-binding ingredients to both cosmetically even nail surfaces and deliver targeted care for weak, brittle, or damaged nails. Use it as a standalone polish for a clean, elongated look, or as a prepping base coat under color to help improve surface texture and prolong polish wear. The 0.4 oz bottle is formulated to hydrate, fortify, and reduce the visual appearance of chips, splits, and stains while providing a soft, flattering lilac-pink finish.

How does this product smooth and conceal nail ridges?

The formula fills and levels uneven nail beds with a finely pigmented, buildable tint that masks imperfections without looking opaque. It dries to a smooth surface that reflects light, minimizing the visibility of ridges and shallow grooves.

• Soft lilac-pink tint evens tone and hides discoloration
• Buildable coverage for subtle to more opaque smoothing
• Dries to a smooth finish suitable for wearing alone or under polish

What strengthening ingredients are included and how do they help?

Key actives like keratin protein and peptide complexes support nail resilience by reinforcing the structural proteins in the nail plate. Pentavitin® provides moisture-binding support to improve flexibility and reduce brittleness, helping nails resist splitting and breaking from daily wear.

• Keratin protein for structural reinforcement of nails
• Peptide technology to support natural nail integrity
• Pentavitin® to attract and retain moisture for flexibility

Can I use this under color polish, or should I wear it alone?

Makeover Smoothing Ridge Filler works both as a protective base coat under nail color and as a wearable treatment polish on its own. When used under lacquer, it helps create a smoother canvas for even application and longer wear; worn alone, it gives a refined, elongating look with a soft shimmer.

• As a base coat: improves polish adhesion and surface smoothness
• Alone: lightweight coverage with a chic lilac sheen
• Compatible with regular polishes; allow to dry fully before layering

How quickly will I see improvements and how often should I use it?

Cosmetic smoothing and tint are visible immediately after application; functional improvements in flexibility and strength develop with regular use over weeks. For best results, apply as a treatment coat two to three times weekly or use as your regular base coat during manicures.

• Instant: concealing and smoothing effects upon drying
• Ongoing: improved flexibility and reduced peeling with consistent use
• Routine: apply 2–3 times per week or with every manicure as a base coat

Who is this for: Dermelect Makeover Smoothing Ridge Filler Lilac is designed for anyone with ridged, peeling, splitting, stained, or manicure-damaged nails who wants both cosmetic coverage and strengthening support.

If you want a dual-purpose product that conceals imperfections while delivering keratin, peptides, and moisture-binding care, this treatment offers an elegant, low-fuss option.
