Multiple Ways To Use Nail Polish

We love applying nail polish and consider it as a sign of feminism. Painting our nails as per our occasional demands is something all women adore. However, when the nail polish starts drying, you get sad as the bottle is of no more use.

As a redult, you start collecting numerous nail polish bottles as you simply can't throw them. So, instead of storing them in the box, you can make multiple uses of the leftover nail polish. For example, you can apply nail polish to colour your envelope or love letter or simply use it as a glue to stick the envelope.

Did you know that the nail polish can be used for various purposes? For example, you can differentiate your drawer keys by applying little nail polish colours on them. Similarly, you can use the nail polish to get rid of tarnish from belts and jewellery.

Most commonly, nail polish is used as a glue to stick blouse buttons or fill the gap of open ends. So, if you have some nail polish remaining in the bottle, here are multiple ways to use it (apart from applying it on the nails).

We often use the power of our close eye sight to insert the thread from the open head of the needle. To make your task easier, dip the end of the thread in nail polish and let it dry. Now it is easier to hold the rough ends of the thread and pull it from the needle.

Seal Envelopes
