without having to paint my nails how can I keep the tips from looking ridgy ?

I have very quick growing and strong fingernails. However the tips start to get a ridgy look to them as they grow longer but it is lengthwise of the nail not width wise. How can I keep them from getting that look to them. I use a hand moisturizer and cuticle moisturizer at least once a week, but they still look dry alot.

    Buff them in one direction - try and find a chamois-type buffer to use.

    Well if it is the tip of the nail cuticle stuff won't help. But I use a file that has a buffer, shiner, file, you can find this file at walmart or your local drug store. Also try ridge filler it is like a polish but should dry clear or at least a very light pink...
