At the following website- http://www.hooked-on-nails.com/naildisorders.html
they give the following information as well as a picture:
Vertical Ridges are also characteristic of aging, although are not limited to the aged or elderly. The nail plate grows forward on the nail bed in a 'rail and groove' effect, much like a train rides on its' tracks. As we age, the natural oil and moisture levels decline in the nail plate, and this rail and groove effect becomes apparent. Ridged nails will improve through re-hydration of the nail plate with twice daily applications of a good quality nail and cuticle oil containing Jojoba and Vitamin E.
That being said - try Barbara's Nail Growth.
(I've just been using it for 5 days - post acrylic.) Reading about everyone else's results prompted me to order it.
Hope this helps -
Linda

Just saw you answered this question on a different post!
P.S. - my fingers (cuticles) are feeling much happier the couple days! Thanks!
