Clear nail polish isn't JUST for nails anymore! I've done
some research and I came up with some interesting and helpful information. Not
only can you make your nails have a pretty and glossy sheen, but you can make jewelry
last longer, protect the ends of your shoe laces, and make the tops of your keys
sparkly!

•How to make jewelry
last longer: I would suggest doing this to some of your rings that tend to
tarnish or change color. Exposure to water is one of the reasons why rings and
necklaces do that. And don't you hate how some of those inexpensive rings
change your finger green or yellow? Well, take those rings that change the
color of your finger, and paint a coating of clear nail polish around it. The
will help protect it from water as well. Just remember to re-apply it every
once in a great while because it can start to wear away.
•Make almost anything
glittery: A while ago, I saw a tutorial on how to make the top of a key sparkly!
I loved the idea. Paint glue on the key, add glitter, and then paint with a few
coats of nail polish. Just like that! Think of all the possibilities....
glittery phone and iPod cases, glittery homemade jewelry, switch plates, rims
of eye glasses, headbands and so much more!
•Prevent unraveling
shoelaces: Did the end of the of lace into the polish and let it dry! It’s
waterproof and very resistant.
•Repairs: If you
really want a screw or nail to stay, add a dab of nail polish before you put it
in... That always works! Works well when you're fixing glasses screws as well.
Also, if you have a small, minor chip in your wood flooring, then you can paint
over it to avoid water or any fluids from seeping in. If you have a rip in a
window shade or screen, paint on some polish to stop it from getting any
bigger. If you have a crack in your windshield and are worried it might starts
getting bigger, put nail polish over the crack until you can go get it fixed.
•Sealing envelopes:
I'm pretty sure most people hate the taste of sealing an envelope. Instead, put
a few dabs of polish to keep it glued!
There are actually even more things that clear nail polish can
do like threading string through small needles, securing buttons, and avoiding
rust stains. Hope everyone has fun using these tips!
