    1. I don’t have the waviness but I do have the linear streaks on all of my nails. We’re both headed to certain death OP 🙁

    2. If reddit had taught me anything, thats super cancer, also you need to divorce your controlling husband.

    3. My thumb nail has done that for more than 30 years, ever since it got slammed in a closing car door when I was a kid. It never went back to normal.

      I want to see how a duochrome polish would look on these nails without a smoothing base

      Are these not Beau’s lines? I had them when I wasn’t healthy a year ago. Started eating better and they went away

    6. Ever have an injury there?

      My thumbnail started growing back with a wavy pattern after I lost the nail from a dog bite.
      3 years later and there’s still a wavy pattern.

    7. I have a bad habit of picking the skin around my thumbnail, including the cuticle. My thumbnails are always super bumpy. It’s like a little stress timeline.

    8. They checked me for this when I got diagnosed for psoriasis. They said it could be a sign of psoriatic arthritis

      Mine do that, but vertically not horizontally.

      Oh, and at first I thought this was a picture of a finger on a nipple.

      I have lupus and RA. Mine are like this. The Drs have told me it’s because of autoimmune conditions.

    11. My nails grow like that sometimes. Right now, my left thumbnail has a pretty big ridge in it.

      Mine is related to eczema, but not sure why it happens – just occurs sporadically ever since I was a child.
