Beyond your nails!

We list some extraordinary uses of your nail paint

Seal an envelope
Brush a little nail polish along the underside of the flap, seal it, and it won't even open over a teakettle!

Tarnish-proof jewellery
To keep your fake jewellery sparkling clean, brush clear nail polish onto the back of each piece and allow it to dry before wearing. Also if your jewellery has popped a stone or two, you can reset it using a little drop of clear nail polish as the glue.

Get rid of a wart
To get rid of warts, cover them with nail polish. The wart should be gone or greatly diminished in one week.

Protect pearl buttons
Delicate pearl buttons will keep their brand-new sparkle with a protective coat of clear nail polish. It will keep costume pearl buttons from peeling as well. You can also prevent loss of buttons by putting a drop of clear nail polish on the thread in the buttons. It prevents the thread from fraying.

Stop a run in your hose
You can stop runs permanently and prolong the life of fragile stockings with a dab of clear nail polish. Simply apply polish to each end of a run, and let it dry. This invisible fix stops runs, and lasts through many hand launderings.

Mark temperature settings on shower knobs
Don't waste precious shower time fiddling with the water temperature. With the shower on, select your ideal settings, and make a small mark with bright nail polish onto the stationary lip of both the hot and cold knob indicating the handle position that's best. Once it's set, no sweat!
