BYS Matte Grey

 Hey guys! How was your weekend? It seems like time is flying by for me! We only have about a month left here in Japan. Anyways, when I stopped by the Japanese drug store last week I noticed they got BYS polishes in recently and I couldn't resist trying one of the mattes. I've been on the look out for mattes here but you don't see them much.

 Matte Grey is a basic dark grey, I wouldn't say it is very matte but it isn't as glossy as regular polishes. It's more of a satin finish. While I don't love this one it is interesting but I do wish it was more matte.

 Picture is two coats. I had no problems with this one. It didn't even smell that bad like the BYS polishes usually seem to. Since it isn't as glossy it does dry pretty quick.  

 How do you like matte polish? Do you have a favorite matte top coat? I've been looking for one and need suggestions.

BYS Down The Rabbit Hole

 This is a polish I have wanted since I saw it last year but had pretty much given up on finding. Lucky me though, it was hiding at a little shop in a mall in Tokyo just waiting for me. The other two polishes from this collection were no where to be see so I don't know how long it had been there waiting for me. 

 Down The Rabbit Hole is a black jelly packed full of holographic glitter. No matter what I did I could not get a decent picture of it. It is a hundred time more stunning in real life than in the pictures. See all those tiny silver glitter pieces, yeah, that is all holo glitter. It is amazing in the bottle and on the nail. 

 Like with the other BYS polish it does smell but not enough for me not to love it. I did four coats for pictures but you could get away with three. The first coat was very sheer, other than that I truly love this one, so glad I stumbled upon it. 

 Here it is out of the light box so you can see a bit more of the glitter.

 Now I just need Adventures of Alice. You can get BYS polish from Fashion Addict, as far as I know this collection is still in stock on their website, but if you aren't in Australia the shipping can be costly. That's why I never got them. 

BYS Lulu Blue

 One of my first BYS polishes! I picked up Lulu Blue while we were in Tokyo along with Down The Rabbit Hole, which I will be wearing soon. 

 Lulu Blue is a clear base with blue and holo glitter. In the store I thought it was just blue and silver but once I saw it in sunlight I was happy to see it wasn't. 

 I used four coats and it isn't opaque so this would definitely be a layering polish but it's still gorgeous. The only downside on this one is the smell and drying time, it didn't seem to dry as quick as some glitters but it did have a high gloss, give and take I guess? Overall, I love it. 

 Have you tried any BYS polishes? Did they smell strong to you?
