Another use for nail polish

[sylrayj.livejournal.com]

I had dropped a knitting needle and the paint chipped at the end, so it kept lightly snagging my yarn. That was just unacceptable, so I painted the end with nail polish. It took a few layers, but the needle is good again. I've also used nail polish for my favourite crochet hook - the chrome finish had worn away - and on old chipped toy cars for my son. Orange and yellow blend reasonably well to make 'construction truck yellow.' :)
