2 Minute Color-Coded Keys
How annoying is it to stand in front of the door (especially when the weather's bad!), trying key after key until you get the right one to let you inside? Is your key ring full of similar-looking anonymous keys? Time to put an end to that!
There's a super easy and quick solution to this problem and, if you're a lady, you probably already have what it takes in your home:
Nail polish! The brighter and more varied, the better!
Paint each side of the grip part of the key, then prop the key up with a clothespin so that both sides can dry.
If you're in a rush and want results in just two minutes, one coat of polish will suffice, but the color will stay on better and look better if you let the first coat dry completely and then add a second coat.
Now your keys look totally different from each other and you can tell them apart easily!
No more standing out in the rain as you frantically look for the right key to get inside!
And as an extra added bonus, your keyring now will look a whole lot more colorful!
