11 Extraordinarily Practical Uses for Nail Polish

Nail polish bottles in various colors.

Even if you plan on never giving yourself a manicure or a pedicure for the rest of your life, it doesn't hurt to have a bottle of clear nail polish in your home. You can use this clear adhesive stuff to seal envelopes, make your handwritten labels smudge-proof, keep your bathroom screws from getting rusty, fix small tears in your window screen and more.

Colorful nail polish bottles also come in handy, too. Color-code your apartment keys so you will never mix up your lobby key from the door key. And if you can't stand fiddling with the shower knobs in the morning to achieve that perfect balance between hot and cold, add a small stripe of color to your shower knob so you know exactly where to turn the dial to achieve your ideal temperature. Colored nail polish marks can also be easily removed with nail polish remover.
