"We&amp;#x27;ve discussed using office supplies as beauty products before, with ideas ranging from the brilliant (hole reinforcements as nail polish stencils, mini Post-Its as undereye makeup catchers) to the bizarre (black Sharpie as lash stain, highlighters for streaking hair). Here are two more I&amp;#x27;d put in the &amp;quot;brilliant&amp;quot; category. My friend Kim recently discovered the best way to clean dirt from under her fingernails. She folds a Post-It in half and then in half again, so the sticky part&amp;#x27;s facing out, and then uses the corner to scrape beneath her nails. This makeshift tool is nice and sharp without being dangerous (unlike the safety pins and unfolded paper clips I&amp;#x27;ve improvised with), and the stickiness helps catch all the crud. She also likes to push back her cuticles using the bottom of a mini Sharpie cap. You&amp;#x27;ve probably heard to use an eraser, but this trick works better if your cuticles are really stubborn, since the cap&amp;#x27;s much firmer. Kim slides the tip of one finger at a time into the cap to gently nudge the cuticle back. You could complete your at-desk manicure by leaving a file and buffer in your drawer; then you can shine your nails up without subjecting cubicle neighbors to any nail polish scent. My Qs for you: What desk supplies have you reassigned to beauty tasks lately? What makeshift implements do you use to dig beneath your nails and tame your cuticles?
