Five ways to reuse nail polish

The nail polish in your collection might be outdated or perhaps you've decided that you no longer want to wear the stuff. Whatever the reason, instead of just throwing it in the trash, keep it around the house for some quick fixes and when the clear bottle is empty, recycle that bad boy.

Here are five ways that nail polish can save your life (or at least be re-purposed)!
  1. Keys. Use nail polish to mark the keys on your key ring different colors so you can tell them apart in a jiffy.
  2. Frayed ends. Every woman knows that nail polish will stop a run in her pantyhose, but did you know that it will end shoe lace fraying? Just dip the ends into a bottle of polish and allow to dry.
  3. Carpentry. Painting nail polish on the threads of a screw before inserting will provide you with a tight finish.
  4. Wart remover. I won't vouch for whether this is a good idea for your health, but supposedly painting nail polish over a wart will cause it to go away in a week's time.
  5. Fill. Nail polish can be used to fill in small chips or cracks in ceramics, wood floors and plastics. However, for holes in your walls, reach for the toothpaste.
