I just bought a new condo a couple of years ago and recently have found a couple of nail holes coming through my ceiling. This looks really tacky and I would love to fix them. Any ideas?

Either hammer the nail back up or just pull out if sticking out a lot. Get some drywall screws and drive in no more then two inches from popped nail. Use ceiling spackling and smoove out. Prime and repaint area. Also, check out the subject on:

Yes go to your local hardware or home improvement or discount store buy a container of Spackle, dip your finger in it and fill in the hole.
When it dries is might shrink so you will have to fill it again.
It's doubtful you will need to paint it since it's up high. Also make sure you make it's as close to the texture or smoothness as possible.

pull the nail out re-apply a screw and the Spackle and re-paint the ceiling
