As if we aren’t carrying enough in our hands (mail, groceries, purse, yoga mat, baby, flowers, umbrella, etc.), grabbing the correct key sometimes (or let’s face it, many times) seems like a chore. It’s a fumble sport aiming to spot, grab and insert the correct key into the corresponding lock before it falls out of your hand.

t So what’s a gal or guy to do? Add a color-coded top to easily distinguish the keys. Now, since my expertise is economical solutions, that meant that I did not want to spend money on this project; instead I eyeballed all my… nail polish. Yep, it’s paint with a built-in brush.

Steps:
-
t
- Ransack (gather) all nail polish bottles and keys
- Paint the top of the keys with colors you love
t
t 
t Yep, that simple.

t When painting the keys, have fun with the colors and designs; you can add numbers, add initials, add zigzag lines.
t 
t Thus far the painted keys have not even chipped, lasting longer than my manicure. Do you plan on making this project? I bet the colorful keys will make you smile, especially on those days that your keys match your nails, wink.
