1. Stop Jewelry from Rusting
I can honestly say that this is one of the greatest nail and beauty hacks that I've ever been introduced to. Have you ever managed to save some serious bucks by stocking up on inexpensive costume jewelry...only for it to get rusty or turn your fingers green? You can paint over your jewelry with a coat of clear nail polish; it will act as a protective layer by sealing the elements out. The best part is that one coat usually does the trick.
2. Remove Lipstick Stains on Your Teeth
Don't you just hate when you smile in pictures, only to see that the red lipstick you're rocking has gotten all over your teeth (and no one said anything)? Would you believe me if I told you that all you need is your index finger for this one? No, I'm not kidding! After forming your lips in the shape of an 'O', quickly insert your finger into your mouth. Doing this will get rid of any lipstick that is on your inner lip so your teeth won't get stained.

3. DIY Nail Polish
As a nail aficionado, I definitely swear by this next hack. Instead of spending a lot of money to test out new colors that you're not sure you'll like, why not stick with the shades that you know you already love? Create your own sexy nail polish by grabbing your favorite eyeshadow and a bottle of clear polish. After you crush your eyeshadow (and make sure to really get rid of any lumps), you can either pour it into the clear polish or a different container entirely.
4. DIY Bronzer
Although it may not seem like it at first glance, this genius beauty trick will save your wallet. According to beauty blog Beauty Tips 4 Her, you can make your own natural bronzer using cinnamon, nutmeg, essential oil, cocoa powder and cornstarch. I just love that these are items that you can already find in your kitchen! You can check out the treatment at beautytips4her.com.
5. Tame Messy Manicures
Having a jar of vaseline comes in handy for many reasons. If you've ever been frustrated over messy manicures, vaseline will become your best friend. Line the edges of your nails with this miracle gel before you start painting; wiping stray paint will become ten times easier. Seriously, that's all it takes!
