DIY painted keys!

So I had an interview today with a nanny service and I got the job! Woo hoo! Also, I'm on day three of my dairy-free adventure! It's not as hard as I thought :) But other than that, with ten days until school starts and nothing to do, I decided to do some more crafting!

I can't keep the keys to my apartment, so I can't really do much with them. What I could do, though, was paint them with nail polish! It's a super easy way to make them look cute and the best part is: you can change the colors or take the polish off whenever!

Putting my 81 bottles of nail polish to work! :)

If you can keep your keys/you're allowed to decorate them, I suggest dipping them in glue and glitter and them covering it in Mod Podge so the glitter doesn't come off! That'll definitely happen to my house keys someday.

81

Fun facts about the number 81: 

It is the atomic number of the element thallium.

It the the symbol for Hell's Angels motorcycle club.

It is the country code for direct dials to Japan.

I own 81 bottles of nail polish.

Yup, 81. I think it's safe to say that I'm a little obsessed.

I wanted to sort through my nail polish collection today, and that's when I realized my number had gotten so large.  I really love painting my nails- obviously. Every time I walk past an Essie display at Target, I can't help but stop. Talk about a wake up call though- 81 bottles?! I think next time I go to the store I might have a little more self control. Or at least I'll try :)

I like Essie the most. The colors are fresh and it paints on easily.

My second favorite is OPI because it has such a variety.

Of course, those are the most expensive brands, and at $9 a bottle, I couldn't build by 81 bottle collection on those brands alone.

I also really like Sally Hansen. Those colors go on really nicely too. They're much cheaper and there's also a great variety. I recommend that brand if you want a good nail polish with a reasonable price.
