    Stronger Nails

    I've used this three times and I'm positively surprised! It has been a lifesaver for me as I have slightly weaker nails. The consistency is thin and easy to apply, which makes it dry quickly. It's not like nail glue, but it's definitely a good temporary solution! The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Temporary fix

    The consistency is totally okay. The smell isn't that bad, but it doesn't do the job. I would say it holds the nail together for at most 2 days. This is not something I would call a quick fix. Even though I applied the product, the nail wasn't what I would call fixed. It was more of a temporary fix as I noticed that my nail wasn't held together by the product for longer than 2 days. This is for a fix that you might need for 1-2 days but not a long-term solution. However, I want to say that it did an okay job of being discreet under nail polish.

      Hey hey! 👋🏻😃 Thank you for your review! 😊 Essie Break Fix Liquid Nail Patch is really meant as a temporary solution for cracks, and it sounds like it may not have quite lived up to your expectations. To maximize durability, it can help to apply several thin layers and let them dry properly between each. It's great that you found it discreet under the nail polish! Have a nice day! 🌷

    Nail fixed well

    It was easy to apply, totally okay smell - not any dangerous stinging scent. It worked well to apply several times around the layer. If I had nail polish over it, the repair wasn't visible. Dried relatively quickly - like a regular nail polish. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Quick and Easy Solution for Damaged Nails

    I used Break Fix Liquid Nail Patch on a nail that had cracked, and I was actually impressed with the result. The product is liquid but still easy to control, allowing you to apply it precisely over the crack without any mess. When I carefully pressed the nail together, the product helped to seal the crack and create a smooth surface. After two applications, the nail felt significantly stronger and more durable. It only requires a few minutes of drying time between layers, so it’s quick to fix. A really good alternative when you want to save a damaged nail instead of cutting them all down.

    Could be better for nail breaks further down

    Since I didn't have a broken nail, I tried cutting a piece off high up to simulate a broken nail. Upon application, it felt strong, but after a day, a small part had started to come off, and after two days, the cut part was ready to fall off (see pictures from before application and two days later.) The product dried quickly and looked smooth and nice under nail polish. You couldn't see at all that the nail was broken, which is definitely a positive result. I think it would have worked better if the nail had broken further down where it wasn't subjected to as much stress. I don't want to give it a bad rating because I used it poorly. I generally found it strengthening, had an easy-to-work-with consistency and applicator, and it still delivered on its promises.

    Positively Surprised!

    I have to be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical about this product at first. But it actually works. I often get nails that break at the edges, and I have to file/cut them all down, which prevents them from growing long. With this product, you can actually patch the nail so it becomes whole again. The nail might crack again, and you have to reapply, but it is still a great help to actually be able to grow out the nails and make them stronger. It's a win in my eyes!

    Rescue on the go

    I have very brittle and weak nails, they basically break off as soon as they have grown out a little. I tested this product twice, both times my nail had split. It smelled a bit stronger than regular polish, nothing that bothered me. Good consistency and the packaging is easy to take with you. I found that it held together for 2-3 days, looked very nice under nail polish and is definitely something I will have in my bag for emergency nail repairs. However, I see it more as a quick-fix than anything else. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Hard to judge

    Unfortunately, I didn't have any further tiles to test on, but the nail looked very nice and even after use, and I look forward to seeing how it will work in the future. Haven't heard of anything similar before, so it will definitely be tried out further down the line! The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot got to try the product for free.

    Good short-term solution

    I have dry and flaky nails that easily break, and I have tried this a couple of times now. I can say that it is a quick fix, but that it is short-lived. I have been able to apply this to the nail when it has broken and I do not have access to a nail file/nail scissors, so in that way, it has helped my nails anyway since it repairs the nail right then. Good consistency, just the right thickness, and easy to work with. I like that it is a small and light container that is convenient to carry in my bag. Using this in combination with some other type of nail strengthener might give a longer effect.

    Simple

    Easy and simple to use. No weird smell. My smaller repair has lasted 5 days now, so I'm happy with the result.

    Works well on small cracks

    I have only been able to test it on very small cracks, but it does its job. The small cracks in the nails are like gone after 2-3 strokes. However, I can't comment on how well it works on larger cracks and also not on the durability since I've only tried it for two days. But so far, it holds together! An additional plus is that I find it dries quickly. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Temporary Solution

    This is a product that works best as a temporary solution rather than a long-term repair. The consistency is thin and easy to apply, and it dries quickly, making it convenient to use in urgent situations. It can be built up in several layers and it smooths out nicely on the nail. One advantage is that it is also discreet under regular nail polish. However, it does not repair the nail deeply but rather holds it together temporarily. For me, the result lasted about a couple of days before the crack started to give way again. In summary, it is a perfectly okay product for short-term use, especially if you need to stabilize a broken nail quickly.
