Two MINI family - telling the keys apart

As of tomorrow we will be a two MINI family.

So, I have a question for everyone with two (or more) MINIs. What do the rest of you do to tell the keys apart?

We've thought of things from stickers to nail polish. I'm not too keen on the idea of putting my key on a key ring because the key looks so nice on its own. Any suggestions?

EASY, I have my keys all in a locked key/safe box, but since I have my primary and my 2 other unused 'new' key I tell them apart by the key chains I have on them, on the primary key I have the JCW 'Euro' keychain I think thats what people call them, the one you can put the VIN number on the keychain, and the others have the JCW wing keychain, so just motor down to the dealer and pick out your favorite keychains!

I have 2 different keyrings, one for each MINI. My wife has both on one ring and has a rubber band wrapped around one of them. I've been meaning to get some rubber bands in blue and white to mark them in a more obvious fashion.
