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.

I bought this on a trip to Kmart because it was nice and cheap and I liked the colour, and well nail polish is nail polish, right? Uh, no. I've never had so much trouble actually using a nail polish before. It was thin and streaky when I was trying to apply it, and i couldnt get it to apply evenly at all. Then it took ages to dry, and of course it smudged before it was able to dry fully. After all the effort of getting something that looked ok, it only lasted about 2 days before it was wearing away. All in all, it's fine to give my girls to use in their makeup kit, but I won't be using it again.
I purchased the two shades mentioned above on clearance from Kmart for a couple of bucks each. Admittedly, I probably would not have purchased if they were not on sale.
I do have to say though that I like i like both these shades they are such pretty colours. Longevity is about the same as other brands, they start to chip after a couple of days in but that doesn't bother me. I have come to expect that from nail polish.
It is cruelty free so makes me 95% more likely to purchase this brand then most other brands. Though I doubt I would pay full price for it, I would definitely purchase if on sale.
Tips: I didn't get any staining from the colours I used but I did use a base coat first.
I brought the grey shade of this polish a while ago and I had heard so many great things about this nail polish and I can say that i agree with every good comment I've heard, it goes on nicely and sets really well, it goes with any other colour i own which is a great thing. I defiantly will be buying more colours from this brand and recommend to any one who wants a good nail polish.
Tips: Apply a top coat for it to last longer
I have a heap of B.Y.S nail polishes and really love their color range, the product mostly goes on really thick (some lighter colors can be less thick) The polish is really affordable, comes of easily with nail polish remover and last quite a while on your nails.
Tips: With any nails polish it all depends on what you do with your fingers on how long it is going to last without chipping and also the condition of your nails if they are weak and flaky you might find that it wont be long before nail polish chips. I suggest trimming and filling before applying and using a good top coat.
I have to admit, these are not my favorite nail polishes, if you can I recomend getting the Essence nail polishes over these. They have a nice colour range, and the darker colours are quiet good but the lighter ones are not that great. I found I need 2-3 coats to get good coverage. These do chip super easily though so I wouldn't recommend these if you are looking for a long lasting nail polish. I wouldn't purchase these again as they are kinda expensive for the quality of polish but they have a wide colour selection and aren't hard to get off so great for kids and teens.
I really like this nail polish. Definitely the best BYS product out there. About half of my nail polish is BYS. I find that it is really easy to apply, though it doesn't last long. I am obsessed with my confetti nail polish. I have to stay away from the nail polish section at Kmart as I always buy more.
Tips: Don't buy from Postie. It's cheaper at Kmart.
These polishes are pretty good, however if you can't get them on sale I'd go for another brand. I got mine on clearance from a store that was closing down, but I know you can get them from Postie and possibly online too.
The colour range is great and there are loads of finishes to choose from, including a few different sorts of top coats! (Matte, Glow in the dark, etc)
The neons from BYS aren't very good though, they are very streaky and take quite a few coats to become opaque however all the other colours are great.
The bottles are large with an average brush, and the formula of these polishes is kind of thick and creamy but doesn't dry out over time. I'd say if you can find these for cheap give them a go!
The colours and prices are great but it chips easily and stained my nails yellow, which I had to let grow out
Tips: Apply a base and a top coat if you use this nail polish
I got this as a gift and i'm happy thats all it was. I used it a couple times hoping that i'd have a better experience after each use but fell flat. Maybe i got a dud batch or something but its so hard to use. At first I had problems with it drying, it'd take soooo long. Half an hour i'd wait and then it'd smudge no matter what i tried to do. And then a couple weeks after using it it became so unbearable to use. It became thick and unspreadable. I wouldnt buy one again.
Although the scent wasnt as strong as other polishes i had so thats a pro.
