How to Treat Nails with Ridges
If your nails, or a nail, are already split into the quick you can either have a salon do a wrap on the nail OR what I did was use a bonding glue with a tiny piece of a dry tea bag and sort of created my own version of a wrap. After glueing the material to my nail I followed with a coat of any sort of clear polish and kept doing this until the nail had grown out.
Horizontal Ridges:
Horizontal ridges are, unfortunately, more concerning. Though they aren’t always suggestive of a serious condition, it is always helpful to seek medical advice to rule out anything serious. Some conditions that horizontal ridges may be associated with include:
•Respiratory disease
•Malnutrition
•Nail trauma
•Liver disease
•Renal failure
Obviously, these conditions are very serious and do require immediate medical care. This is why it’s so crucial to get checked out if you do notice horizontal ridges on your nails.
There are also several types of horizontal ridges, including:
•Beau’s Lines: These deep nail grooves are slightly dark. The ridge usually occurs when the nail’s growth ceases temporarily due to a nutritional or metabolic problem, or another underlying condition. Some causes of Beau’s Lines include:
◦Malnutrition
◦Diabetes
◦Certain medications
◦Nail bed injuries
◦Chemotherapy
•Muehrcke’s Lines: Associated with albumin deficiency, Muehrcke’s lines are white in appearance. Unlike Beau’s lines, they aren’t grooved. These lines actually form beneath the nail itself, in the vascular nail bed. Thus, they don’t shift as the nail grows.
•Aldrich-Mees Lines: These discolored lines appear on both fingernails and toenails. They are associated with poisoning from arsenic, thallium and other heavy metals. They may also appear in patients with renal failure.

A great way to start for those who, like me, are new to water marbelling
