Life hack: How to tell your keys apart really quickly

Is there anything worse than trying to figure out which key is which on a keyring? You try each one and it’s always the last one that works. What if there was an easy, cheap way to do it?

We’ve found a solution and it’ll cost around $2 or free if you have the product.

All you need to do is get nail polish in different colours and paint the end of your key (not the actual key bit as this could ruin your lock). You could colour code each key according to what you use it for (red for front door, blue for back door etc) or you could paint just one.

Another cool idea is to get glow in the dark nail polish and paint the end of your key so when you’re rifling through your bag at night, you can find your door key straight away.

How great is that!?
