Things You Can Do With Nail Polish

Source: ChaCha

Nail polish pantyhose

Stop Runs

If you often have to wear pantyhose or tights, carry a bottle of clear nail polish with you. If you get a run in your stockings, simply dab a bit of the polish at each end of the run and it should stop it from spreading any further.


Nail polish key

Color Coded Keys

Do you have a lot of keys on your keychain? Is it hard to quickly find the one you need? Simply paint the top of each one with a different color of nail polish and you can find the right key in a flash! You can also use this trick for other items you may find it useful to color code.

Nail polish costume jewelry

Protect Jewelry

Do you have a lot of cheap costume jewelry that keeps turning your skin green? Protect the jewelry and your skin by coating all of it in a layer of clear nail polish so it doesn't tarnish.

Nail polish car scratch

Cover Car Scratches

If you get a very minor scratch in your car, don't bother spending tons of money getting it fixed at the repair shop. Just get a matching color of nail polish and carefully paint over it. It works because they are closer to being made of the same stuff than you might think!

Nail polish bobby pins

Colored Bobby Pins

Why spend a bunch of money on hair accessories when you can simply spice up the ones you already have? Just paint your favorite nail polish colors onto some bobby pins or other hair pins and you have an interesting new look!

Nail polish thread needle

Thread a Needle

Are you tired of spending forever trying to thread a needle? Stop licking that thread over and over and instead dip the end in some clear nail polish and let it dry and it will be a snap to thread the needle!

Nail polish shoe scuffs

Fix Scuffs

Cover up minor scuffs on your shoes with a matching color of nail polish and no one will be the wiser! You could also get fun with it and color the bottom of your high heels a fun color to make a sort of knock off Louboutin style.

Nail polish shoelaces

Stop Unraveling

Do you have shoelaces that are fraying at the ends? Don't burn them to stop the fraying, simply dip the ends in some clear nail polish, or some colored nail polish to make it more fun! You can even use nail polish to turn any ribbon you want into DIY shoelaces as shown.


Nail polish liquid bandage

Liquid Band-Aid

Don't waste money on a bottle of liquid bandage, something you will probably rarely use anyway. Instead, just use a coating of clear nail polish on the occasional times you need the product since they are basically the same thing anyway!

Nail polish iPhone Case

Custom iPhone Case

Make a cheap custom iPhone case with nail polish! Simply buy a clear case for a few bucks or repurpose an old one you don't want anymore and use nail polish to create whatever design you want. Either go freestyle or create or use a stencil for a more polished look.

Nail polish envelope

Seal an Envelope

Never lick another envelope again. Just seal it with a little clear nail polish instead!

Wood Table

Fix Wood Furniture

If you have a piece of wooden furniture that has a small chip in the varnish, you can repair it with a tiny drop of clear nail polish. Also, if there is more damage to the wood such as splintering that is snagging your clothes, you can apply a coat or two of clear nail polish and it should stop the snagging.
