How many of you have actually seen the end of a bottle of nail polish without it drying out? Those pretty colors are little devils in disguise screaming out at you, to pick them up, and pick them up you do! Why not put these tiny bottles to some use before they are of no use?

Listed out are 10 amazing things you can do with nail polish, apart from painting your nails:

1. Color Coding:

Often we are caught struggling to find that one right thing amidst a cluster of many, and almost always, it is that damned key. And as Murphy’s Law rightly states – that you will always find what you are looking for, last, in the cluster of things, color coding your keys (or anything that is important like files, etc.) can make life much easier with a drop of nail paint.

2. Tightening Screws:

Those tiny, pesky screws are worth a lot more in the larger scheme of things. Totally underestimated! Imagine sitting on a chair with a loose screw, and you are sure to fall and hurt yourself. To avoid such circumstances, you would rather paint the screw with nail polish and tighten it. It will definitely stay strong.

3. Needle And Thread:

Needling a thread is one of the simplest yet most challenging tasks that can sometimes take up more time than we think it might. Well, to make things a little quicker, just dip the end of the thread into a bottle of nail polish and let it dry for about a minute. You could become the official ‘needler’ in your group!

4. Sealing Envelopes:

Most envelopes are lick-and-seal, which is extremely harmful to you. Stick glue is too weak, and the watery glue is always messy. Your new go-to? Nail Paint! It will fasten the envelope and protect that little secret.

5. Protecting From Tarnish:

Your argument – nail paint lasts on your fingers only for a few days, let alone weeks. But we say that when you put some on your jewelry that could get tarnished, it really does protect it well. Those trinkets are not worn everyday; therefore, they don’t go through too much of wear and tear.

6. Marking Cans:

Fancy up those markings – trade in those age-old markers for some whacky nail paint colors.

7. Protecting Laces/ Ropes From Unraveling:

Applying the same science as getting the thread needle-ready, dipping a fraying rope or an unraveled lace into a bottle of nail paint can save it from getting ruined.

8. Rust-Proof Metal:

If nail paint can be used to protect metal from being tarnished, it can definitely be used to avoid further rusting. Just varnish some onto rusted metal – not only will it be safe to use, but it will also not rust further.

9. Smudge-Proof Labels:

When you are out of permanent markers, the best thing to use is nail paint over the text on your label. Your label will stay waterproof and smudge-proof for a long time to come.

10. Paint Your Phone Cover:

Saving the best for the last, this one is the most creative way of using nail paint (apart from on your nails, though). You could revamp and totally redo your boring phone cover with pops of color. Pick your favorite design, trace it onto your phone and then let your imagination run absolutely wild with the colors. Just make sure you wait till the nail paint dries out before you fix it onto your phone.

A little thought can make everything you have useful. It is the best feeling in the world when something you buy is an absolute value for money. While it is our job to do that thinking for you, do try these hacks and see what best you could do with nail paint!
