This compact 0.23 fl oz bottle contains a brush-on formula that starts as a liquid, bonds the separated nail edges, and cures into a thin, clear solid to hold the break in place. It’s designed to be used under polish or on bare nails and is small enough to toss in your bag for at-home or on-the-go fixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the liquid-to-solid system actually fix a broken nail?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen applied, the formula flows into the crack and adheres both sides of the nail, then sets quickly into a rigid patch. That solid layer stabilizes the damaged area so you can keep your length and shape while the nail grows out.
