Tried toothpaste instead of spackle on a tiny nail hole

Had a tiny nail hole in my bathroom wall. Didn't want to open a whole tub of spackle for one dot. Used plain white toothpaste. Smooshed it in with my finger. Dried overnight. Painted over it this morning. You seriously cannot tell the difference. Has anyone else done this for super small holes?

Holding up well after a while? Makes me wonder how toothpaste handles humidity in a bathroom long term. Did you prime it first or just paint straight over the dried paste?

Bet toothpaste actually acts kinda like a mild primer on drywall honestly.
