10 Smart Uses for Clear Nail Polish

Uses for Clear Nail Polish

 We all have a bottle of clear nail polish hiding in a bathroom drawer or cupboard. Don’t save it for the top coat only. There are many other cool things you can do with it! Think of it as a liquid laminator, a good stand in for glue (dab only), a great fabric protector and a way to keep rust at bay. This is part of my new series, Home Tips & Tricks Tuesday.
