We were looking for something fun. The BYBU™ polish has been perfect. The colour change is a cool surprise and it’s easy to remove too.

“Changes colour in the sun - so fun!”
I LOVE this nail polish. It’s clear inside and then turns magenta when I go outside. All my friends at school were obsessed! The colour change is like magic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Such a clever idea”
The UV nail polish is so cool – I’ve never seen anything like it! It changes to pink when I’m in the sun and back to clear when I’m inside.

“It actually looks better than Mum’s!”
I used the BYBU™ nail polish for a sleepover and all my friends said I looked amazing. The nail polish changed colour when we went outside and everyone was shocked! 😂

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My daughter keeps showing everyone her nails”
She painted her nails with the BYBU™ polish on Saturday and has shown every family member since! I like that it’s made with gentle ingredients and still feels trendy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“It actually lasts!”
I used the base coat, then three coats of the UV polish and a top coat. I did have to wait a bit for it to dry, but it was worth it! Mine stayed on for several days without chipping. Love how it looks AND works.
