17 Uses for Cooking Spray!

Friday, March 30, 2012

I was reading my morning newspaper, which in reality is my twitter feed....When I stumbled across a fact that stated that cooking spray can be used to dry wet nail polish! *Gasp*
I am sure we all have cooking spray laying around, and if not, go buy some!!


1. Use Cooking Spray as a Nail Polish Dryer
If you are in a hurry and your nails aren’t dry yet, spray a little Pam on the wet nails. Try to get a normal spray instead of garlic or scented ones to avoid having your hands smell like it all day.

Cool, huh? Who would of thunk it??

Just in case you weren't convinced about needing to buy the spray just to dry your nails, here are 16 other reasons why you might want to get some! Click the link below to take you to the rest:
