BYS - (Pastel) Kung Fu Blue

'Tiffany' blue/green creme

Kung Fu Blue is a pale green toned blue creme with slight jelly tendencies, it has a slightly squishy look although I wouldn't say it was a full jelly.

Swatch is 2 coats with no top coat and again it's super shiny.

Application/formula was slightly tricky for me, it was a little streaky especially on ring finger but that could be because of the different surface due to the repair...

This is reportedly similar to the infamous For Audrey by China Glaze but I don't have that polish to compare I'm afraid.

This was a bargain at only £1.99 from the sadly departed TJ Hughes, a UK discount store.

BYS - Lilac Love

Dusky light purple creme

Lilac Love is a dusky mid to pale purple creme
This is pretty much a one-coat-wonder although the swatch is 2 coats, no top coat.

And look how shiny it is without topcoat?!

Apologies for the dodgy pics, I had a repair on my ring finger (for a very low break/split that needed to grow out) which looks pretty lumpy here and looking at the pics now this polish seemed to bubble on me, not a problem I usually have with BYS or any other polish.

BYS Voodoo Violet

Purple glitterbomb






Bottle shot

This is one from BYSs' Glitterazzi range.

Voodoo Violet is a silvery purple with predominantly pale pink glitter and some holo glitter

This swatch is 3 coats and application was pretty gloopy but worth it!

BYS - Envy Me

 
Sun


Shade

Envy Me is a light green frost/pearl

It's a pretty colour but this is 4 coats and I still have some VNL and it's pretty brushstrokey.

But not bad for the bargain BYS price, around £2.50

From my limited experience BYS wins hands down over Bloom in the the Aussie polish wars.

Green Door

Just a quick green post for Sunday night...

This is BYS Fern, a dusky dark green with silver glitter.

I'm pretty sure BYS is an Australian brand, over here (UK) I found it in one of those discount beauty/perfume places and it was inexpensive.

This is 2 coats, no topcoat. Formula was great, I'd definitely buy more of these.

Anyone else got experience of BYS?

P.S. Initially I was going to call this post 'Behind the Green Door' those being the key lines I remembered from the cheesy 80's hit by Shakin' Stevens (Wales' answer to Elvis) but on googling that line I changed my mind - I didn't want those kinda hits!
