BYS Nail Polish

I am obsessed with a gold colour in BYS nail polish which I bought two years ago. An amazing colour, and lasts a reasonable amount of time. I am also obsessed with a neon/bright pink also purchased around the same time. For an amazing result, I tend to apply two coats.

One of my fave brands of polish! So cheap for such a good quality polish. I've got a few of the normal colors and some color changing ones and they're all great. The polish stays on for ages with minimal chipping and a really nice opaque coverage.

I find if I only think I will ever use a nail polish for one or 2 looks or occasion's I buy BYS I have found that these nail polishes do go thick and stringy faster than other polishes and the bottles get stuck closed if not opened often or cleaned off rim

Some of my favourite nail polish shades have been from BYS and it's hard not to fall for their gorgeous colours, especially when they're on the front counter at Glassons (marketing genius). But while they're pretty and affordable, you kind of get what you pay for in the long run. The nail polish does tend to go to gloop a lot faster than other nail polish brands which is a pain. Still good if you're looking for a cute colour to wear for something special and don't want to spend a fortune on the bigger brands.

I have about 10 BYS nail polishes in fun shades like bright yellow, matte green, sky blue and fluro pink. I love the range of colours they have and the different finishes such as matte, chrome and glittery. In fact my go to nail polish when I'm in a rush is BYS Matte Mint Green because it takes just one coat and dries very quickly and I don't bother with top coat as it is matte. These nail polishes can be found very cheap at many places, I've seen them in Glassons, Postie Plus etc. The quality I found to be very good considering the price. I would recommend to anyone wanting to try out a new bold colour, the range is great and easily accessible here in NZ.

I have about 7 different shades of BYM. I love the shades they have on offer and how cheap they are. I bought most of mine for $6.00 from Glassons. When you apply the colour, it comes out light, so I had to add a few more coats to get the desired colour. I also found that they last around 6 months if kept in a cool, dry area ( I keep mine in the butter conditioner/fridge.) The consistency isnt too bad, not too thick, not too runny. Goes great to add colour to an outfit and so many to choose from. I would recommend to anyone.

I bought this in a purple colour over 2 years ago from Glassons for like $5 or $6 (still going strong, not dried out). The colour is just beautiful, very metallic and pretty :) It does need more than one coat so that's it's not as sheer, but for the price, I was expecting that. It lasts for a while on the nails, especially with a good top coat.

Honestly, the most impressive thing to me is how long it's lasted without going yucky and drying up - even more expensive branded nail polishes haven't lasted as long.

Bys had been a great gateway polish for me to try different coloured polishes that I wouldn't have normally bought at a higher price point. I have owned a variety of colours but my favourite has been the silver which I wear as a base coat under silver glitter polishes so I don't have to wear so many layered of glitter (which is a pain to get off!) Having said that I do find the packaging quite cheap and the lid is not the perfect shape for my fingers. The wearability is also lacking compared to others.

I strongly think a girl can never have too many nail polishes, and so when looking for a particular shade to go with an outfit I stumbled across the very affordable BYS cosmetics range. I actually picked this polish up in 'Pretty as a Peach' for something like $5 or so from Glassons one year, bargain price. BYS has so many colours available and this particular one is a lovely pastel peach.

The formula itself is really runny so it takes a few coats to get a nice even coverage so it does take longer to dry. It's also not particularly long-lasting, 1-2 days without beginning to look tacky.

In saying that despite the performance I would still purchase these again when I'm wanting a polish for a day/night or to go with a particular outfit as they're still really good value.

I bought this nail polish when I was first getting into painting my nails. I still love it. It goes on easy, you never need more than two coats, and it dries quickly. The matte is always flawless, and it doesn't seem to chip or weaken my nails. It doesn't last that long, but for the price I bought it for I don't mind.
