What's up everybody? Welcome back to my laboratory. Where safety is #1 priority.
OK. For today's video, I'm going to put to the test, nail polish life hacks.
Let's check this out.
[SWOOSH!]
For the 1st lifehack, we're gonna grab matches. And, we're gonna make waterproof matches with nail polish.
Let's see how.
What we're going to do is just dip these matches inside of the nail polish like this.
And, then I'm just gonna lay them like this to dry them out. That's it.
That's simple as that. We're just going to dip it inside of nail polish. Take it out and lay it like this. Simple, huh?
That's all we have to do. Just dip it in and let it dry.
Now let's test these matches out. I'm going to drop them in the water.
And, as you can see, they float, because they're made from wood.
So, if you spill a bunch of matches inside of the pond or water, or they got moist-
So, let's see if it's actually going to work.
Now I'm just gonna take them out. Drop it on this over here.
OK. Let's see if they're gonna still strike or not.
BOOM.
Wow! Strike really, really easy.
And, that nail polish actually makes it burn even better.
In a windy situation, they'll light up much easier. I like it.
Let's try this one. I'll put it in the water. Strike it.
BOOM. No problem.
Pretty awesome, huh?
Put it in the water. You gotta shake it off. :) Strike it.
See. It works.
Even though it's wet, It works very well.
This easy one, pretty cool. Gotta shake it off from the water, and strike it.
Look how well it lights up.
For this nail polish lifehack, lets say you got envelope, and you moistened it and closed it.
But, then you realize, OOPS! I forgot to put something in envelope.
So, in order not to waste envelope, you can still open it really carefully.
And, then add into this envelope whatever you forgot to put.
And, then use nail polish to seal it back up.
So, what we're gonna do is, just drop nail polish and just smear it all over.
Just like that.
You don't need to use much. A very little bit goes a long way.
[SWOOSH!]
Now we're gonna close this. And, BOOM. If you don't have any glue, no big deal.
You got nail polish. It works like glue.
Awesome!
That's it! After you let it dry out it will be very very sealed.
Some envelopes doesn't even come with these sticky envelope.
And, if you cannot find glue on hand, use nail polish to seal the envelopes.
[SWOOSH!]
Also, you could be using nail polish as a fire starter- In a survival situation.
I'm just going to put a little bit of it. Nail polish is perfect kindling fire starter.
Let's light it up.
You see how much a litle bit of nail polish It burns so much. Isn't that crazy?
Look how long it burns. And, I used very very little bit of nail polish.
So, nail polish is extremely flammable. It's insane.
So, if I have to start a fire for survival situation, no problem.
Just use a little bit of nail polish. Look how long it burns.
Awesome.
SWOOSH!
I got here a thread and a needle. And, look how hard it is to put a thread through the needle.
Because it's kinda bushy(?) on the side.
So, this lifehack suggests using nail polish to make your thread really easy to put through the needle.
So, I guess I'm going to put a bunch of nail polish at the end of this thread.
And, I guess it does make it easier because look how one piece it is now.
And, it's not bushy anymore.
Now we got ourself a needle, and we're gonna put it to the thread.
Look how simple that was. Wow. It turned into stiff.
So, that's why it was so simple to put the thread through the needle.
Awesome lifehack. So, when we're in a survival situation, it's a really good thing to know.
Because you never know when you have to patch up your tent, your clothes, your shoes.
So that's a really cool thing to know, for sure.
[SWOOSH!]
If you got shoelaces that keep on threading, what you wanna do is just cut it off.
This, right here.
BOOM.
Just like that. Throw that away. And, then the best is to use clear nail polish. But, this will do.
And what we're gonna do is just put it up like that.
Put nail polish on it so it will stop un-threading. It works as a glue.
So, we're pretty much going to glue this together. That's it!
Now we're just going to wait until it dries up. And, it will stop un-threading.
[SWOOSH!]
For this lifehack, you know, I always mess up which key is which.
I come to the house, I use one key, it doesn't fit. I have to find the second key, and that one is fit.
And, it's just a waste of time standing by the door.
Especially when you just came from the store and your hand's full, trying to find a key that fits your lock.
Really frustrating. What you want to do is get different color nail polish. And, we're gonna paint them.
I always confuse these 2 keys 'cause they look exactly the same. And, these 2.
So, one of them I keep the same color - silver. And, one of them I'll just make a strip.
On this one I'll make a blue stripe so that way I'll know 100%, this one is my house-key, or whatever.
And, one of these, one is a garage-key, one is a house-key.
And, I confuse them all the time. It's just annoying when I do.
Or I have to figure it out, which one is which.
So, one I'll just paint this beautiful red color.
Now I'll know. this one is a garage-key and this one is a house-key. No problem.
Now we're gonna let it dry out. And, this way we will save our time looking for the key - which key is which.
Now they're all different, even though they look exactly the same - Different color.
