Fact – I’ve never finished up a bottle of nail polish. Not that I don’t have never fail colors I choose over and over again, but I have such a huge collection, with one manicure a week, it’s impossible. But there are tons of clever uses for nail polish: stop panty hose runs, prevent costume jewelery from tarnishing, and beautifying your keys. And I felt my keys needed a makeover. For my key makeover, I chose 3 very different, very bright colors, so that I never get my keys confused again.
Choose one color for each key
Paint the top of the key, 2-3 coats
Let dry for a few hours
Optional – Paint a design on key. I chose stripes, sparkles and glitter. Then paint with top coat and let dry
Fasten to cute key chain and voila! (Key chain c/o Blair Ritchey)

I’m in love with these, but I haven’t decided if my landlord would kill me when I turned in my keys looking like this:)
I have been wanting to try this! Maybe I will do it this weekend. Tis the crafting season!
These are so cute! Does the polish chip off?

Such a cute DIY – I’ve been seeing this around Pinterest and want to give it a try. Love the colors you chose and I never finish nail polish either so this would be a great way to use it up.

My sister in law did the same thing. She bling out their house keys one night when she can’t go to sleep. The next morning her husband’s reaction was priceless !!!!
glitter keys! genius!
I too have never finished off a bottle of polish. Usually it sits around for years gets too gunky before its done and I toss it.
Such a fun idea!! I’ve never finished a bottle of nail polish either.
