Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we can all agree that nail polish is a must-have in any makeup and skincare kit. From transparent to the most intense colors, we find countless such containers in our cabinets. But did you know that nail polish can be used for other, more practical purposes around the house?

We've probably all faced the situation where the envelope we need to mail won't stick. Use clear nail polish to seal it. Simple and fast.

Having trouble threading a needle? We know how frustrating that can be, especially for our mothers or grandmothers who may not have sharp eyesight anymore. Make their work easier by soaking the tip of the thread in nail polish. Once it dries, the thread will be easier to handle.

How many times has one of your shoelaces frayed? Use nail polish in this case too, to prevent it from unraveling. Simply apply polish to the end of the lace.

You're probably familiar with this situation: you have a bunch of keys and never find the right one on the first try. Color them with different shades of nail polish so you can identify them more easily.

To prevent ink or marker writing from deteriorating on labels, coat them with clear nail polish to strengthen it. This will be helpful in the garden when labeling seedlings.

Remember those tiny screws on glasses? Apply a small layer of nail polish and you'll avoid losing them.
