Rub toothpaste over your nails overnight & get this effect the next day

Everyone uses toothpaste to brush their teeth, but do you know the alternative uses? Did you know toothpaste can help heal a bruise? This is just one of the many unusual home remedies using toothpaste that bloggers have been raving about.
1. Heal a bruise

Try mixing toothpaste with lotion and applying the homemade salve to a bruise before bed. Loosely cover the bruise and rinse the area in the morning. Repeat this process until the bruise disappears (2- 3 days).
2. Treat acne
Dabbing nonwhitening toothpaste (no gels!) on a pimple in the evening will dry up the zit by the next morning.
3. Deodorize hands
If you’ve been cutting garlic or handling fish, you may feel desperate to rid your hands of those nasty smells. Toothpaste deodorizes hands in the same way it does your mouth.
4. Soothe a bug bite
