London, United Kingdom — A U.K. news source is reporting that a “genius tip” gone viral on TikTok is encouraging drivers to repair unsightly body scratches with nail polish.
TikTok user @happywifehappylifehaha is to blame.
“I will show you a trick that dealership workers use,” she captioned the video. “Just use the cheapest nail polish colour of your car to remove all the scratches.”
Then, wielding a $2 nail polish bottle, the woman in the video slathers the paint on her car.
Naysayers were quick to critique her choice of colour. One commenter said, “that’s not even the same colour.”
