MULTIPLE USES OF NAIL POLISH

Perfume
This is the most common trick that most of us might have tried at least once. Spray it in your bedroom, bathroom and car as a freshener. Another good idea is to spray it on a cotton wool. Use this to wipe lamp, table or fan to spread the fragrance.

Hair Shampoo
It is rare for a hair shampoo to get expired! You can use it to wash wool dresses and cashmere clothes. Hair shampoo is milder than detergent and this makes it a good option to wash your lingerie or lacy hipsters. This one of the best ways to reuse expired cosmetics.

Facial Toner
Due to presence of alcohol, face toners are the best tools to clean mirror, tables, tiles and kitchen top. You can also use toners to clean leather goods such as handbags and shoes. But, don’t use whitening-based products.

Lipstick
Mix your lipstick with vaseline or lip balm to create a tinted lip balm. You can experiment with different lip gloss or lip colours to make your own colour. You can use lipsticks as fabric markers or for stitching. This one of the best ways to reuse expired cosmetics.

Eye shadow
Get your expired eye shadow and clear nail polish. Mix the eye shadow with the clear nail polish and you will be surprised to see the new colour. You can keep on experimenting on this to get unique shades.

Powder
You can use expired cosmetics for your craft trials. Your pigments, compact powder, loose eye shadows and bronzers can be great tools to refresh new upcoming projects. Use them for card making and scrap booking.
