So, be honest. How many bottles of nail polish have you collected since you began couponing? Probably more than you need, am I right? I know many couponers can end up with hundreds and hundreds of bottles of polish and let’s face it, no one needs hundreds of bottles of nail polish (unless you are nail tech of course).

More Creative Ideas You Say ?
If you have already given a bunch away and you still have a shelf full left over, here are some other creative uses for free nail polish that you may not have tried yet:
5. Easter Egg paint
Oh my goodness, you can create some awesome marbled paint designs on Easter Eggs by using nail polish. I didn’t even know this was a thing until recently. If you want to try it out, be sure to do a Google or Pinterest search to find out how this is done. It looks pretty easy!
6. Pantyhose repair
I learned this one from my grandmother when I was a child. Clear nail polish makes it easy to stop a run in your pantyhose. Just put the clear polish over and around the hole in your pantyhose to keep it from growing.
7. Jewelry redesign
If you have some old costume jewelry that you no longer wear, consider coloring over the fake gemstone parts with nail polish to give them a whole new look. Be sure to give it a gloss coat to make it shine. You can also use it to color in your old costume jewelry chain necklaces and give it a brand new look.
8. Shoe and vinyl repair
Nail polish makes a great quick fix for shoe blemishes or small rips in vinyl. Just be sure to use a nail polish of the same color so it’s not noticeable.
9. Art supplies
Well, it is paint and it already comes with its own brush. Add nail polish to your art supply case and use it next time you want to paint crafts. I have used it before to paint rocks for the garden.
10. Kindness rocks
Paint your ‘kindness’ message of encouragement onto your favorite rock and leave it along a pathway or near a water fountain for someone to find along their travels. Anonymous Love!
