Nail polish doesn't have to be just for your nails anymore, well ever really, but maybe you have never thought of the fun, cute other ways you can personalize your things with it. Your favorite polishes can be used for a few different things that may surprise you, and even potentially save your day fashion wise at some point. Check some of them out below...
Phone Charger- Tired of having your charger go missing and everyone insisting they didn't "accidentally" take it?? Decorate yours with a bright or sparkly nail color. This way no one can accidentally grab yours or mistake it for theirs.
Pantie Hose Runs- We have all had those nights where we have been out and about and suddenly snag our tights. Don't let it turn in to a fashion no-no. At this point you have 3 options, either take them off, run with the look by becoming a hipster for the night and snag them up a little more, or dig in to your purse and put some clear nail polish on the hole to keep it from running further. The nail polish will seal the hole temporarily and stop them from running further.
Decorative Bobby Pins- Add some flare to your every day bobby pins by painting them with your favorite nail polish colors. No point in paying extra for the fancy ones at the store when you can not only do it your self, but also make them any color or design you want with your polishes at home. Slip them on to an envelope or piece of paper to let them dry fully.
Revamp Costume Jewelry- Costume jewelry is huge right now and we all love spicing up any ordinary outfit with it. Well now try spicing up your old jewelry with a pop of nail polish. Sick of the same necklace you have worn a million times?? Paint over the jewels with your favorite color, or add glitter, stripes or dots to be extra creative.
Green Finger Gone- Use clear nail polish to paint the inside of any rings or arm cuffs to avoid turning your skin green. When air hits the metal it oxidizes, this is what causes the metal to color your skin. The polish will provide a barrier between your skin and the jewelry. If it starts to peel off just give it another coat.
Designer Keys- Use your best nail polish colors to paint your different keys. One color for your house key, one color for your car key etc. Get rid of the bulky name tags and just have color coded keys! Super colorful key chains are the cutest!
Seal Envelopes- Licking envelopes not your thing? Taste nasty?? No one loves the bitter taste or the paper cuts that can come with it, so take your clear nail polish and paint over the seal. Close the envelope and you are good to go, no gross after taste.
Color Coded Polish Tops- Ditch the old bag you keep your polishes in. Storing your nail polishes upright will make them last longer and keep them from getting clumpy and drying out. Paint a dab of the color on the top of the polish using a cue tip, and store the polishes up right in a decorative box. This will allow you to see which color is which and save you time when looking for your fave color. It will also provide a cute, stylish way for you to keep your polishes stored.
Scuff No More- It is always the biggest bummer coming home from a night out and realizing you have scuffed your favorite pump. Take a similar nail polish color and paint a thin coat over the scuff. Don't forget to seal it with a top coat though, it will work just like it would on your nail, sealing it and making it last longer. Good as new!
