ZOYAMini Color Lock System Manicure Kit

I like it makes nail color last longer and shiny

I bought a Zoya color that I love, but just used whatever Revlon quick dry top coat I had and the polish started to chip within 2 hours. So disappointed because I looove the color. Anyway, I thought I would get a mini of this system, though I didn't have high hopes.I used it on my toes this time and the color is staying put.Then I used it with an OPI color and it's been about 6 days and it's only just starting to have tiny chips at the very tip. Even decent color last me a few days max, doing dishes always is the killer. I've washed dishes every day and I'm so impressed with the staying power. 6 days is fine, since after 4 I get tired of the color and want to switch it up anyway, lol! Happy with it so far...

I am 75 years old and gave up trying to keep polish on my nails years ago, as the polish would chip within a day or so--just not worth the effort. Recently, needing to travel for a friend's memorial out of state, I had a professional gel manicure. I remembered how much I like having my nails look nice, but the gel, which needed to be peeled off, wrecked my nails. I started researching other products and decided to give this system a try, due to it's not containing the toxic ingredients. Oh my goodness! I would give this a higher rating if I could. I also bought the mistletoe collection of polish colors (full size bottles for way less than buying individually), and all of it together lasts a week to 10 days. Admittedly, I'm more careful of how I use my hands when my nails are done. But this system has really worked well for me! The drying drops are utterly amazing. I am puzzled by the experiences of the negative reviewers. I wonder if our individual body chemistries, or different suppliers who may send outdated product, may make the difference? At any rate, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive with these products. The picture is 5 days and holding.11-6-18, This is an update. The four newly added photos with white background are day 10! Yes they do need to be redone, but there is not the obvious large chipping that so often happened with other products I've used. Again, I used the whole system here: manicure set and polish, as directed. I applied an additional coat of armor coat after the first couple of days; others I've read recommend cotinuing to do that every few days, but I haven't had a need to preserve a manicure for a specific amount of time. All in all great products! I do think some colors may be more durable than others, and I tend to stay with softer shades, but all in all great to have a manicure that lasts and strengthens the nails.

TL;DR: Good choice if you're looking for polish with fewer harmful chemicals and a less intense nail polish scent. Not for you if you need allergy-free or scentless polish.My partner has always been sensitive to the smell of nail polish and it seems I've developed a sensitivity as well. I tried painting my nails a few weeks back and was super dizzy and lightheaded before I finished.After a lot of research to find polishes that don't require a HazMat suit, I came across this brand and one other. I liked the color range of Zoya better (400+!), so I ordered this kit and a four-pack of colored polish (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H281V4V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).Pros:- The basecoat and topcoat both went on super easily.- The dry drops are a little oily, but my nails were completely dry in under 15 minutes (dry enough to do things in under 5).- The colors are gorgeous. Mia, the second shade, had almost full coverage after one coat and full coverage after two. The color also went on super easily.- I'm only on day two, but typically by this time I've chipped even anti-chip polish really badly. So it's impressive to me that it's holding out. This kit claims 14 days, I'll update with how long it actually lasts.Cons:- The bottles in the Color lock kit are super tiny. The remover is travel size and the basecoat, topcoat, and dry drops are somewhere between travel and sample size.- While they don't smell quite as bad as other polishes I've used, they still have that nail polish scent. It didn't make me dizzy, light-headed, or cough, so that's a bonus. Nor did the scent hang around or cause my partner to seek me out to ask why I was doing my nails when he was home. But it's stronger than I was expecting and was nowhere near being scent-free.All in all, I'd recommend this. It's at least somewhat healthier than other brands, the color palette can't be beaten, and the application is great. Just know what you're getting yourself into.Update: the polish started chipping after 4 days. Not the worst, but not the best either.

All natural and very durable. Love this starter kit!

I’m really pleased at how long these products helped my nail polish last! I think it’s an exaggeration to say that your nails will last without chipping for 14 days, but mine definitely lasted 7 without any visible signs of chipping or dullness. I used the anchor, nail polish brand, top coat, and fast drying drops in succession as directed. For the second time in a row, my nails have lasted 7 days without the first sign of a chip. Keep in mind that I don’t wash dishes, but I do wash my hands several times a day. The fast drying drops are great. They do speed up the drying process, even though I still soak my fingers in ice water to speed the curing process up. I love this brand nail polish too—they make the most beautiful colors. The polish remover made the polish just slide off; I did some rubbing but not a whole lot. So if you’re thinking about getting this set, go for it. Great buy!💖👍🏼
