BYS Basic Colors Nail Enamel - Ruby Jewel x Pouty Purple

I'm lovin' the combination of my favorite colors on my nails right now! 

By the way, Xinyi was saying it looked like "Captain America" theme. It does look like it, no?

I used BYS Basic Colors Nail Enamel in Ruby Jewel and Pouty Purple. The tinge of silver-white glitters come from The Face Shop Nail Color BK902.

Ruby Jewel is a gorgeous fuchsia pink, with very fine micro-shimmers. The consistency is kinda thin and runny. It takes at least 3 coats for an opaque finish. I like the color, as it flatters my skin tone well.

As usual, I couldn't photograph the exact shade of purple. It is actually a dark magenta, with very fine micro-shimmers as well. The consistency is slightly less runny than Ruby Jewel. It also takes 3 coats for an opaque finish. 

In my opinion, they do not apply as smooth as BYS Color Change Nail Enamel in Orange, albeit still relatively easy to work with. Though I did not use any top coat, my painted nails still look shiny.

It has been 4 days since I painted my nails. And, I'm glad to say they are still looking good with very slight tip wear. No chipping so far.

Oh, did I mention that the price is very affordable? BYS Basic Colors Nail Enamel retails for $6.90, exclusively available at Watsons. Shop away (:

BYS Color Change Nail Enamel in Orange ♥

BYS Color Change Nail Enamel in Orange, was one of the goodies given to me, at the BYS event.

Color Change is an interesting range of nail polishes, which changes color according to temperature (not so much of mood). It is quite fun to see the color shift as the temperature changes.

Change your look without having to change your nail polish!

BYS Color Change Nail Enamel changes with your temperature, so if you're a cool cat one minute and hot under the collar the next, BYS Color Change Nail Enamel will keep you fun and fashionable whatever your mood.

This was my 1st time painting my nails in all yellow. To be honest, I was not really feeling much for the color initially. Now, I can't take my eyes off my yellow nails! I didn't know that yellow can be so flattering on me *hehe~* :P

This color has an uncanny resemblance to the salted egg yolk filling in my favorite custard bun (流沙包). Ahh... feeling hungry already :S

I applied 3 coats of nail polish, to ensure complete opacity. The application is a breeze, very even and smooth. As you can see, not streaky or gloopy at all!

Each coat dries pretty fast, to a satin finish. I didn't apply any base or top coat, by the way. You can always apply a top coat, for a longer-lasting manicure.

In order to see the color change, I dipped my fingers into a glass of ice cold water. The color change is very obvious, isn't it? That's a pretty shade of orange!

Then, it started to shift back to yellow (the pinky already did lol).

Today is the 6th day. The chipping is very minor, only on 4 nails. It's hard to tell unless you get a really close scrutiny of them.

Now, I wished I have other colors to play with! 

Color Change retails for $9.90, exclusively available at Watsons. 

NOTD: Colorful BYS Nails

I mentioned earlier on, that BYS (nail colors) would be launched in Singapore, exclusively at Watsons. However, I couldn't seem to find the brand at Watsons. I was at the NAC outlet just a few days ago. Hmm... shall see if I can spot it on my next visit.

Anyway, they have a pretty substantial number of nail polishes of different colors and ranges. For now, only 4 nail polish ranges are available - Basics, Colour Change, Neons and Mirror Finish. 

It was fun trying on so many nail colors during the launch party. I applied 2 to 3 coats for each nail, for an opaque finish. They dry pretty fast, which eliminates the need of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Here's what I painted on my nails (left hand), love the blue-green theme ♥ The glittery bits came from Diamond Glitter Aquamarine. 

Hmm... I didn't take note of the specific nail polish used for each nail though =.=

I love my blings, as usual :P

As for the nails on my right hand, I think the colors are pretty well-coordinated too. The glitters are super gorgeous IRL. The one I used was Glam Glitter Kinky Pink, a gel-like nail polish with large holographic glitters. Unfortunately, this is not available in Singapore as yet.

They were pretty long-lasting, lasted for a week or so. There were signs of minor chipping by Day 3.

I'll be featuring these goodies I received soon, starting from BYS Color Change Nail Enamel (my current fave nail color).

That's all for now. Thank you for reading!
