Nail Polish (Post 210)

We all know that clear nail polish can be used to repair a nylon and keep a snag, from becoming a huge run in your pantyhose, but here is a list for your ten cent crazy book of other uses for nail polish.

Quick-Fix Glue
Apply some clear nail polish to secure screws, or re-set jewelry stones.

Label Toxic Materials and Supplies
Mark a big bold 'X' on all poisons in the house.

Mark Your Thermostat
Paint a thin, colored nail polish line to mark the right setting.

Prevent Screws, Nuts and Bolts From Rusting
Use clear nail polish to prevent rusting. This is particularly useful for outdoor picnic tables or other areas when the metal is exposed to the elements.

Smooth Wooden Hangers
Apply a clear coat of nail polish to the rough areas.

Stop Fabric From Fraying
Tame frayed fabric by brushing the ends with clear nail polish. You can also add a drop of clear nail polish to the back side of buttons to keep them from falling off.

Mark Levels on a Bucket
Use a bright colored nail polish to clearly mark levels on a bucket.

Avoid Rust Rings
Paint some nail polish along the bottom ring of metal containers (think hair spray bottles) so they don't leave rust marks on your counter.

Fill Scratches on Wood Floor
Fill little nicks with clear nail polish. Rub the polish down with sand paper to dull the shine.

Repair a Window Screen
It might not be the prettiest fix, but it will stop that tiny hole from growing into a major problem.

To spruce up a mirror in a child’s bedroom, you can paint colorful characters around the edge of the mirror and they can be removed and updated with nail polish remover as the child grows. You can also paint fish and shells or even a lighthouse on bathroom mirrors and remove when you grow tired of them.
