Not so long ago I bought Zoya’s Color Lock System in mini size. I guess, you all now it already. I decided, to properly try it out. Here is the whole set.

From L to R: Remove+, Anchor, Armor, Hurry Up, Shiloh

There are five mini sized products in the set:

• Remove+ (nail polish remover with acetone)
• Anchor (base coat)
• Armor (top coat)
• Hurry Up (fast drying drops)
• Shiloh (red nail polish with tiny red shimmer)

Remove+ contains 15ml of product while the others are 7,5ml.

The price here in Slovenia is 21,30€.

I’ve read a lot of reviews about the Color Lock System. Some rave about it and some not. I guess that’s normal. I mean, you can’t expect that everybody would like it. So, I decided to give it a try.

How I tested:

1. Remove my old polish with Remove+.
2. I hydrated my cuticles with Badger – Cuticle Care.
3. After a while I cleaned my nails with Remove+ …
4. … and applied one thin coat of base coat Anchor.
5. I waited for about a minute for the base coat to dry.
6. Than I applied two thin coats of Roxy. I waited for two minutes between the coats.
7. I waited for a couple of minutes for the polish to dry a bit.
8. Than I applied one thin coat of top coat Armor.
9. Again waited for a couple of minutes.
10. Finally I applied the Hurry Up drops – one drop to each nail.

The manicure was dry in reasonable time.

And finally some pictures. I present you Zoya – Roxy, a wonderful purple jelly with tons of purple glitter.

Freshly applied.

After 24 hours … some minor tip wear.

After 72 hours … Another chip on the right hand. Left hand still looks decent.

After 88 hours with some Konad added …

After 96 hours … Major chipping on my right hand, while left hand still looked fine with minor tip wear.

After 96 hours

My conclusion: I think the Color Lock System works. At least for me. But not as good for my dominant (right) hand as for my left hand. I totally expected that, because my nails aren’t in good shape on my right hand. So… I guess, if you have strong and healthy nails, it could work well. I think you could expect that your manicure would last at least a week with Zoya’s Color Lock System.

And what are your long lasting favourites? What combos do you use, when you need your manicure to last?
