Inspired by liquid bandage technology, Break Fix is a spot treatment that transforms from a liquid to a solid designed specifically for breaks.

Everything is honky-dory until a nail breaks!
To address beauty enthusiasts’ top pet peeve, Essie has launched Break Fix, a liquid nail patch spot treatment. Inspired by liquid bandage technology, it transforms from a liquid to a solid upon application to repair breaks.
“At Essie, we know a nail break can instantly derail a great manicure — and even your day,” said Yasmin Dastmalchi, president, Happi Top 50 Company Maybelline. “As the first liquid nail patch of its kind, Break Fix ensures no one has to sacrifice a manicure they love for one broken nail, offering a simple, on-the-go solution whenever life happens.”
The innovation features a thin, transparent formula that adheres instantly to nail breaks, creating a smooth, seamless, yet durable patch that disappears on contact. Break Fix results are optimal for use on bare nails, but it can also be used over existing polish as a quick fix. Plus, Break Fix can be used as a preventative strengthener when applied on nail tips to help protect against future breaks, snags, and tears. With a precision brush applicator, fast-drying formula, and portable pack, Break Fix offers a practical solution for at-home or on-the-go nail repair.
Essie’s Break Fix Liquid Nail Patch is available at Target, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok shop and essie.com for $12.
