Of late, I have had heaps (and I mean heaps) of people contact me to find out more about BYS nail polishes. It seems they have developed a bit of a following. I decided today to put up swatches of just about every BYS colour that I own.
It's an amazing brand, but to my understanding, it is not available to you guys outside of Australia. If any of you out there want to organise a swap or a CP with me, I am happy to do so though MUA. My user name there is bec5146. Just drop me a line letting me know what you are after and I will see if I can track it down for you.
Ok, on with the swatches.
Illusion Shaker
This is very sheer, at four coats there is still VNL. I had such high hopes for this one based on bottle colour, but it was not to be. Will have to try it layered over white. Would look awesome over a similar green shade as well I think.Caribbean Crush
Pouty Purple
Noctural
I love this one! I added a second swatch shot with flash just because it's such an awesome colour.Green Goddess
*drool*
Phantom
Sahara Sands (Chrome)
Thank God It's Friday (Chrome)
Yabba Dabba Blue (Chrome)
Feel The Fever (Chrome)
Black & Gold
Adventures of Alice
Through the Looking Glass
Down the Rabbit Hole
Ok, so that's all bar the matte polishes because I didn't have the time to let them completely dry before taking pics and the cracking polishes for the same reason.
Any favourites in the bunch?

*tries to beat back the lemmings*
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty!! I like Green Goddess, Nocturnal, Caribbean Crush, Phantom, and of course the Alice in Wonderland ones the best.
Hi Chaos,
ReplyDeleteWell, if the lemmings manage to beat you into submission, you know where to find me if you want me to track some down for you.
Bec
Thanks for sharing these swatches. The colors are all lovely. My faves are Pouty Purple & Phantom. :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteVery good choices. Pouty Purple is one of those colours that just glows with awesomeness.
Bec
I have to say I thought Yabba Dabba Blue was going to be a better colour from the bottle which I saw not long ago and ever since it's been on my lemming list, but...I guess not really what I was after.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches anyway! It's really hard to find BYS swatches, so most of said lemming list just comes from bottle colours and their dodgy website pics.
I loooove the last 4 <3
ReplyDeleteLovely colors ^__^ Maybe Illusion Shaker would look good over a dark green as well, or maybe a black one?
ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
ReplyDeleteYDB is a good colour, but as you say, different from what you see in the bottle. It's unlike anything else that I have though.
I did notice that there aren't many of them floating around, so I will try get as many of their polishes up for you guys as possible.
Bec
Hi Fleur,
ReplyDeleteGood choices, I am actually wearing black & gold right now. It is a truly awesome polish, I was having major issues photographing it.
Bec
Hi Karina,
ReplyDeleteGood thinking, I will have to give those combos a try.
Bec
I love Pouty Purple and Phantom!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh, i love all xDDDD
ReplyDeletePhantom and TGIF are my favourites. I love purple, can you tell? ; )
ReplyDeletethere sooo cool!!!
ReplyDeleteespecially the glitters
XOXO Martine
Wowwwww i looooove the navy blue one.. !!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had access to this brand. All these are soooo amazing! I especially love "down the rabbit hole". Everytime I see pics of these polishes I cry a little lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see BYS swatches, I have a few of their polishes which I find to be OK, certainly not going to complain though for such a budget range ;) Will be keeping an eye out for future swatches on your blog because even though they are dirt cheap it is still nice to see the colour that they turn out before purchasing, because as another poster mentioned they are not always true to the shade in the bottle. Thanks for sharing :)
