As a jewelry maker, I work with lots of wire and chain and jump rings, and all of these things are like the evil villains that hate nail polish. When I first started working there in September, I still painted my nails sometimes. And you guys, I can chip my nail polish ridiculously easily anyway. If I click my mouse wrong, my nail polish will chip. It's pretty crazy. Jewelry making is not the friend of pretty colored nails. My nail polish would chip the instant I started to make a necklace and only get worse and worse throughout the day. And I like having pretty nails, but I hate painting them, because drying times force me to just sit and watch a movie or something, and as you may recall, I'm a multitasker. I was organizing my room yesterday and came across my nail polish. I have a lot of it, not as much as some people, but for never painting my nails, it's a lot.
But nail polish actually works as a way to personalize jewelry stuff and make it even cuter. I got a whole bag of broken/mismatched jewelry the other day and I intend to use all sorts of nail polish on it (in a way that looks good, obviously). And remember that cute jewelry box I thrifted that looks like it's missing something on the door? Well I think I can do something cool with white nail polish. So today I'm feeling pretty crafty. I might even do battle with my sewing machine! We'll see.
What creative uses do you have for nail polish?

Doooo it! Gird your loins and show that sewing machine who's boss! I love redoing jewelry with nail polish (and redoing buttons!), but I can't take the fumes anymore. I wanna see when you're done!
