Get The Most From Your Makeup: Clear Nail Polish

BellaSugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:59:12 PDT

Ever buy a new pair of pantyhose and snag them on your first wear? Not only do you feel like you've just wasted anywhere from $5 to $20, but you're also stuck in public with a potential fashion disaster on your hands. A small snag can turn into an eyesore of a run.

But have no fear! Take a small amount of clear nail polish and glob it right onto your hosiery. Yeah, it's sticky and smelly, but wait a minute or two for it to dry and you'll stop your snag, tear or run right in its tracks. I've been using this little trick for years and it's never failed me.

Also, I've read several sources (although I am not sure how reputable they are) that claim you can apply environmentally friendly clear nail polish to ringworm to help kill it. This definitely seems a little bit dangerous to me, but I'm curious to know if anyone has tried this. Or are there just some limitations to clear nail polish?

Bank Robbers Have A Bad Rep

This prankster claims to be walking around with panty hose on his head because it's cold outside and...why the heck not? Well, maybe because store clerks take one look at him, freak out, and promptly peace out. Do you blame them? This prank may be cruel, but the reactions are priceless.

Even when the product is supposedly "disposable," you can always reuse it. Wise Bread shares awesome ways to reuse these 21 disposable products.

It’s said that we live in a disposable society. But the word "disposable" is a misnomer. Disposable is considered throwaway, something you use once and dump, regardless of the life that may be left in it. As a frugal shopper with a concern for the state of our environment, I think that just won’t do.

I often reuse many so-called “onetime-use” items, and I asked friends, family, and colleagues to tell me which disposable items they squeeze more life from. Here’s my list, including some of the surprising ideas I was given.

1. Butter Wrappers

If you’re like most people, you unwrap your butter, pop the stick into your handy holder, and throw the wrapper away. But wait a second - instead of trashing the wrappers, keep them in a sandwich bag. The next time you need to grease a baking tray or dish, you’ve got something all ready to go.
