BYS Nail Polish

It's a cheap nail polish so don't expect it to last a while or to keep it's shine. The colours are great with loads of choices to choose from. I like the brushes, it doesn't leave the stroke lines that a lot of brushes do. After a while the product gets really thick in the bottle. I would buy it for a night out or something if I found a colour I liked. Not too amazing.

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 recently just purchased a bulk supply of items from Postie Plus..Among them is this nail colour. First time that I have tried this before. Lovd this vibrant color. Fresh looking colour. Easy to apply brush. Had a good consistency. I applied at least three coats to get a good looking colour to it. Your normal smelling nail polish. What I loved about my bottle of Bhys nail polish is that it has a leopard print lid. Which instantly got my attention. I have brought other make up items in this Bhys range. Took about 20 minutes to complete my nails with dries in between. Cost wise, was very afdordable. Lucky thaf I managed to catch a bargain at the time.

I think the BYS polishes are a bit hit and miss. I have had ones that have worked very well, and ones that haven't. The are a good price, very affordable. The brushes are nice and thick. I have a black from this range and it's great. Only need two coats to get full coverage and it lasts a long time without chipping. I also have a teal colour which is very very sheer on the first coat and doesn't build up very well so I usually use this as a top coat over similar colours to make a custom colour and it works out fine.

BYS stock in a few places, but I've mostly bought them from Glassons and Equip. I have standard colours, glitters, and 2 colour changing ones.

The formulae for these seem to be universally quite thick, but two coats is advisable for even coverage and better colour, especially on the glitter.

All BYS polishes come in square glass bottles with black caps. The colour is clearly visible through the transparent bottle, and the end look on your nails is true to the colour you can see.

The brushes are a little on the skinny side, which makes application a little more fiddly, but still achievable.

The polish wears okay, especially with a top coat on to lock it in - I'm tough on my hands and this still gives me a good few days most of the time.

The smell is a bit on the strong side, so ventilate the room when you're using these.

I purchased a few polishes from Kmart for $3 and decision wise it is quite hard to narrow down what colour to buy coz of the large colour selection.

That being said, it isn't the greatest quality polish though considering the price it's not really surprising. On application, the colours are a bit streaky and not greatly pigmented, they're quite sheer even after 3 coats. I also found they chipped quite easily and began to crack as well which isn't the greatest thing in the world.

If you're after something to wear for just a day or two, then go for it, but if you want a polish with a little bit more longevity than I wouldn't definitely splurge on something a tad more pricey.

These are an impulse buy for me, as they are usually up near the counter, so the colours catch my eye.

Not my first preference or the greatest quality, but for the price they're really just a colourful bit of fun to add to my lacquer collection.

I've used both the basic and UV colour lacquers. I bought the UV Tension Rising Pink shade for a Neon party, and it really does glow under a black light. This particular colour/formula is quite thin and dries to more of a matte finish, so you need to apply a few coats. It's only really good for a day or two at most, as left any longer and it starts to discolour and look 'off'.

The only BYS nail product I would not recommend, is the Topcoat. I've used it on vairous brands of lacquers, and I found it made the coloured polish go streaky and gluggy when I brushed it on, even when the colour was previously dry.

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.

I grabbed this from the clearance bin at Postie a few weeks ago, any chance to snap up nail paint cheaply if it's a brand I haven't tried, I will.

This color is very punchy bright, brighter on the the nails than it appears in the bottle very summery. It's slightly tacky to apply so I need to have quite a blob of if on the brush to get a smooth finish. Two coats provides solid coverage but it tends to chip off very noticibly in largish bits, within a day or two it is looking a bit rough.

The brush is fine, the formula is okay, for the price I can't really complain. The quality isn't terribly bad or very good either.. Average.
