LOVE!! A MUST FOR WEAK NAILS!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff saves me on the daily lol! My nails are always cracking and I always get a tear right down the side of my nail where it's just too low to cut off.. I used to have to cut them all short and just put a bandaid on that nail but this stuff actually works well for me! It brushes on easily, dries clear, and reinforces the weak broken spot so it doesn’t catch or split more.. so I'm able to keep my length and just paint right over it - no weird texture or lifting. If you’re prone to breaks like me, this is a must-have for your nail kit. Really impressed!

Tiny Patch, Big Save
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the Essie Break Fix lLquid nail polish patch on a few separate nail breaks now, and it genuinely saved me every time. It holds small to moderate cracks together for a few solid days - long enough for the nail to grow out instead of forcing me to cut everything short. For me, that's huge because when a nail breaks, I usually end up picking it down to nothing. This stops that spiral completely and actually let my nails recover. It works especially well on those annoying edge cracks and the little layered splits that always snag on things. The tiny brush makes it easy to target just the break, and it dries fast with a smooth, shiny finish. No stickiness, no rough texture, and it disappears under polish. I get the best results when I use a primer first, and I've learned not to press too hard with the brush - it feels like it could snap if you do. Once it sets, the nail feels sealed and protected instead of fragile. After a few successful saves, this has officially earned a permanent spot in my emergency nail kit.

Eh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked well on repairing my nails and getting them prepped for manicure but I don’t think this is good long term more like in a pinch before heading out

Easy to apply
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hopeful tgat this product would save my break until it grew out, but it is lt lasted a few hours. If you dont mind reapplying a few tunes throughout the day, it might be able to save the nail. I like that it dries down quickly and has a nice smooth finish.

Quick fix for nails.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has really come in handy. I have some side breaks. I applied this, then applied nails wraps. It really did help keep my nails intact. I didn’t want to cut them just yet, so this gives me a little more time. The brush is small enough, where you can also apply under the nail. Dries pretty fast, and doesn’t smell too strong.

Meh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Idk maybe this break was too far gone but it didn’t hold more than an hour. Probably would work better for someone with thicker nails though. Pretty easy to apply and would come off easily if need be.

Hi there KimberleyC, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you found the Break Fix Liquid Nail Patch application easy. It sounds (and looks!) like that break was a tough one, but your tip about nail thickness is really helpful for others. We hope you'll give it another try on a smaller break in the future. Meanwhile, for best results, apply a thin layer over the nail break, concentrating between the crack. Then, press the broken nail together to help the edges bond as the formula dries. Apply a second thin coat and allow to dry completely. Apply a 3rd thin layer if needed. For optimal results, apply to a bare nail.

Stronger nails
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I’m a mother I don’t have so much time to make my nails in a beauty salon, sometimes it breaks and it’s difficult to keep it long and strong, but with this break fix I can continue with my nails longer and stronger than ever, it helps me to keep on point my nails even if it are broken.

Easy fix for natural nails
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is good for my nails because I get little breaks in them while at work sometimes. It didn't take much to cover the areas and give it a few days to look better than before. Doesn't feel sticky but has a nice shine that looks good on my natural nails. A little goes a long way and it really helped my nails stay chip free.

Good overall and dries fast
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely leaves your nails feeling stronger, and it lasts really well. Similar products sometimes lift soon after application. It also dries really fast. I did try to apply to one of my husband’s broken nails, and it didn’t quite work as a patch on his break. But it was a bad one, so it might work better for less difficult breaks.

Repaired slices nail
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The brush was shorter and smaller allowing a more precise application. I am notorious for slicing my nail since I work with boxes at work. This helped bond my nail and prevent the nail from losing a layer on the top of my nail. It did a great job repairing and it was a shiny finish.

Superglue basically but easier!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a decent product that has definitely saved me from a painfully short nail trim a time or two. The product itself feels very much like superglue but the tiny brush makes it very easy to apply right where you need it. I have successfully managed to keep it off my skin so I can’t say how similar it is to superglue in that aspect but it does a good job repairing cracked nails. It doesn’t seem to have a lot of longevity especially when doing things like washing dishes so it will need to be reapplied to continuously be effective. Overall though - I’d recommend!

Hi there KaylaM, we are so happy to hear we could save you from those 'painfully short' nail trims! There’s nothing worse than a broken nail, so we're thrilled our repair formula did the trick. Thank you for the great tip about the tiny brush. For best results, apply a thin layer of Break Fix over the nail break, concentrating between the crack. Using tweezers or a toothpick, gently press the broken nail together to help the edges bond as the formula dries. Allow to dry completely. Apply a second thin coat, and a third if needed. Allow a complete drying time of approximately 3 minutes between coats.

It works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t have high hopes on this stuff because my nail was almost split into, but it did! You couldn’t even tell my fingernail was split. I was able to grow my fingernail out and I didn’t have to cut it too short. So easy to use because of nice and small brush

Barely worked for two days
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not very helpful. It advertises that it’s supposed to repair broken nails, yet I tried to use this three times over the last month to repair ripped & torn fingernails and within two days, they broke off again. But, it did dry fast, brush was nice, and the smell wasn’t too bad, so I’m giving two stars.

Great break fix polish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great as a clear OR to help with brittle broken nails. Coverage is great and a little goes a long way. Easy to remove with your standard polish remover. Does have a strong scent but nothing out of the ordinary for a clear coat/nail fix. It is thin so be mindful when you are applying. Overall would recommend.

Not for me, but could be useful maybe?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie. They're by far my favorite nail polish brand. However, this product kind of stumped me. At first, I thought it was supposed to like magically heal your split nail, which I was like yeah right, not possible. Then I read what it's actually supposed to do, which is just as impossible-sounding. It's supposed to create a seal on a broken fingernail for up to 5 days. I honestly don't understand why you would patch up a broken nail for 5 days. I would personally just clip it off, because it would drive me crazy, but I guess I can think of a few instances, such as if you were out and needed to get through one night; if you've got fake nails, I guess that would work until you saw your nail stylist, and I really can't think of any other uses. I will say that I tried it on a nail that was kind of chipping. It wasn't split or anything, but I have regular nails, and they don't break in half. They're not strong, but they don't break in half. IDK it's a weird product IMO, but I can definitely see it being used by girlies with fake nails to use until they see their nail stylist! Either way, it's kind of a cool concept, but still confusing. Lol. I still love you, Essie! ❤️
