Zoya Color Lock 7-10 Day Test Drive: And we’re off!

Five days ago I had an inquiry about the Zoya Color Lock System:

As you know, I did a review of, and we are on the last day, of a giveaway for the Zoya Color Lock system.  This kit is from a top “natural” nail product company and provides everything needed for an at home mani/pedi:

• polish remover
• base or ridgefiller option
• topcoat
• polish extender

I used this kit twice with good results.  I was able to make it to 5 days, but finishing school means a lot of mani/pedi services and artificial nails.  I need to switch up way before 10 days. I did manage to snap 3 days into one of the stretches.  What I noticed, is that the hands are looking very stumpy in these photos.  Ha! Re: polish, by day 5 I just had a bit of tip wear on middle and second finger.

This isn’t quite the 7-10 days extended that Zoya advertises, so Sara offered to see how the product would perform on her.  She is the proud owner of several Zoya polishes.  She came in last night for a warm lotion manicure and we used a beautiful lilac color (Venus?):

Things to note:

• I gave Sara a waterless manicure (warm lotion) prior to application because it was more beneficial for her hands.  Any residue can cause polish lift, so I took great care to remove and dehydrate to properly prime the surface.

• Sara said she is very tough on her nails. I told her to reapply the Armor Topcoat every few days as needed.  This is not an uncommon practice.

The clock started ticking last night.
