A “dab of nail polish” and iPhone 4 is as good as new

dell-opi-laptops-1270148922It’s a woman’s world after all. Forget a horrible green bumper to ruin your iPhone’s image, iPhone 4 users are reportedly using a ‘dab of nail polish’ to fix the new iPhone’s reception problems.

As reported by The Guardian’s Charles Arthur, owners of Apple’s latest innovation are turning to duct tape or nail polish in light of antenna problems.

To celebrate the verstaility of nail polish and it’s new found glory in the technology industry, here is a list of its other uses (beyond being nail, er, polish):

  1. Screens: Repair small holes in window screens by applying several layers of clear nail polish. Or, for bigger holes, stitch the hole closed with fine wire or nylon thread, says South Bend Tribune
  2. Tights: Stop that ladder in its tracks; apply clear nail varnish to laddered tights to stop the hole getting bigger (disclaimer: please allow to dry before dressing)
  3. Contrary to old wives tales, don’t put nail varnish on ticks (or any other living creature for that matter)
  4. Match your gadgets: Dell offers nail polish colours to match their consumer laptops through a partnership with renowned nail lacquer maker OPI
  5. Make your new £499 iPhone 4 work without holding it in a certain way: Add a dab of nail polish, and, boom, signal is restored
