Us girls have at least one or two (probably more like 20) bottles of nail polish lying around the house. Not only does nail polish make your nails look good, but it also has other uses you may have never thought of. These different uses for nail polish are clever and very helpful.
Smooth Out Furniture
Although they're tiny, splinters are the absolute worse. And catching your clothes on them is even worse! Prevent this from happening by painting clear nail polish on the problem areas to keep your clothes, and skin, splinter free.
Paint Your Heels
For a sassy touch to your heels, paint the soles of your shoes with nail polish. How cute and fun!
Threading A Needle
Let's be honest, threading string through a needle can be down right impossible. To help get the thread through the eye of the needle, dip the end of the thread in clear nail polish. Now you'll be threading needles in no time.
Cover Up Those Scuffs
In the same sense, you can paint your shoes to cover up those pesky scuffs. Just choose a polish that's similar to your shoe color and paint it over the scuff.
Sealing An Envelope
Whether you hate licking the seal of an envelope or just can't seem to get it to close, nail polish can help. Dab clear nail polish on the corner of each side of the seal and press it down to hold in place. No more getting that nasty taste in your mouth!
Mark Your Shower Settings
It may seem useless, but there's nothing worse than stepping in a shower that's way too hot or ice cold. Mark where you like the temperature of the water to be and always get the perfect temperature.
Keep Jewelry From Turning Your Fingers Green
You know those cheap rings you just have to have? From fun designs to funky shapes, they're cute accessories. But, they always seem to tarnish after a while leaving your fingers green. Prevent this by painting clear nail polish on the inner part of the ring.
Stop Those Annoying Runs Asap
Ugh, the worst thing to happen on a night out is discovering you have a rip in your tights. And even worse is the added fear of it running all the way down your leg. Stop the run with clear nail polish. Paint a little nail polish on both end of the run to keep it from spreading!
Waterproof Your Matches For More Use
If you're planning a camping trip and it's supposed to rain one night, don't worry, nail polish can save the day (or night, in this case.) Add clear nail polish to the tips of the matches to make them waterproof. Now, you can light that much-needed lantern with ease when the rain comes.
Add Extra Hold To Your Nails
Do you love putting together pieces of furniture on the weekend? Well, keep your hard work in place by placing a coat of nail polish over the nails once they're in place. Make sure you let the polish dry!
Keep Your Shoe String In Top Condition
Ugh, it's the worst when your favorite pair of shoes' laces start to unravel. To prevent your shoe laces from coming apart, paint clear nail polish on the ends of the laces. You could also try different colors if you're feeling bold.
Create Your Own Measuring Cup
Simply grab a bucket, or anything you want to use for measuring, mark lines with nail polish and let dry. Now you have yourself a measuring cup.
Bring Out Your Color Coding Skills
Is your roomie always stealing your keys by accident? Stop that from happening by painting your keys with nail polish to easily tell them apart from the others.
