The MANY Uses of Clear Nail Polish

clear nail polish

A 99 cent bottle of clear nail polish has many uses other than making your nails shiny or acting as a top coat.

Here are a few problems that clear nail polish acts as the solution for:

Ringworm & Warts: Dab a bit of clear nail polish on the ringworm or wart for 5-7 days and the ringworm or wart should clear up!

Leather Shoe Scuff Marks: I bought a new pair of flats to only find after day 1 I had scuffed up the toe! Prevent that by dabbing clear nail polish over the toe and heel. A light coat will keep your shoes scuff free.

Prevent Rust Rings: Ever left a shaving bottle on the counter to only pick up and find a rust ring? Paint the bottom of the metal cans with clear nail polish to prevent the rings!

Help Thread a  Needle: Pesky thread when threading a needle can be SO annoying! Stop licking the thread, just dab some clear nail polish at the thread’s end. The thread will stiffen, easing the threading process!

Stop a Run in Your Panty Hose: Have a run in those panty hose? Stop it with a dab of clear nail polish.

Do you have a hole in your door or window screen? Yep, you guessed it – clear nail polish it.

Repair a Small Dent in a Window or Wood Floor: Fill the dent with clear nail polish. Let it dry and then fill with a few more drops.

Stop Fraying on Fabric & Ribbons: Paint the tips of the ribbon or fabric with yes, CLEAR nail polish!
