This week I am going to focus on the ever handy clear nail polish. Not only is it great for nails, but here is a list of other clever uses.
- Stopping a run in panty hose
- Keeping tiny screw in place, such as those on your eye glasses
- Securing a button in place (just a little over the center to keep the thread in place)
- Avoiding rust stains in the bathroom. Who hates when the shaving cream can leaves a ring on the side of the tub? The solution is to paint the bottom to keep it from rusting!
- Sealing an envelope. Did the glue not stick? Don't want to cover it with tape? Use clear nail polish!
- Extending the life of costume jewelry. Ever gotten that green ring on your finger (or on your ears). Give the jewelry a coat of clear nail polish and voila.
- Keeping labels readable. Ever had the labels on medicine or toiletries get smudged and unreadable. Give it a coat of clear nail polish.
- Prevent rusting screws (on the toilet seat or other water prone areas)
- Closing holes on a shaker. Does the shaker give too much salt, or are you trying to cut back? Paint some of the holes shut.
- Keep laces from unraveling
- Threading a needle. Drag the cut end through the brush of the nail polish.
- Keeping frayed fabric or ribbon from fraying more.
- Filling small knicks on the floors or glass
- Resetting a loose jewelry stone
- Keeping chipped car paint from rusting
- Keeping the hole in the screen from getting large (same concept as runs in the panty hose)
If you have any ideas for clear nail polish, comment and I will add them to the list!
