Perfect Gifts: Zoya’s Color Lock Nail System
Introducing a teen to the world of beauty? Looking to gift a woman who needs a little TLC for nails? A kit is the perfect answer, and Zoya has the perfect kit for nails.
The Color Lock System provides everything the at home manicurist needs for a perfect polish. Included in the totes cute tote (oh yes, I went there) is the following:
REMOVE: Zoya’s nail polish remover comes in a big spill proof container with a flip top. Just like the pros use. It is flat out one of the best things in the kit. A gentle pump action is used to prime the pump, and the formula of the remover is gentle but effective.
This is also available in larger sizes for refills. Highly recommend.
.
Anchor & Armor: Anchor basecoat provides protection against polish staining the nails, and provides a better base for color to cling. Armor topcoat has been mentioned as one of the ‘best topcoats of all time’ in the UK Telegraph.
(Alternate to Anchor base) GET EVEN: This is another favorite of mine. Get Even is Zoya’s ridge filler. This option is for someone with a less than perfect nail plate. If you are going through a chipping phase, have ridges, or any other issues that could cause your polish to be anything less than mirror smooth, a ridge filler is key to perfection. Get Even is nice because it seems to apply smoothly and dry quickly. Ridge fillers often stay tacky to the touch and require more drying time.
HURRY UP: Nail polish sets through evaporation, and a minimum of 2 hours is needed to truly get things dry. However, there are times when you need to speed things up and get out the door. Drying drops harden a thin bit of the surface providing a bit of protection. Nail drops are a must have in the arsenal.
RENEW: This item is for maintenance of your 3 free polishes. Nail polishes harden through evaporation, on your nails and from the bottle. This is why your polish gets thick and clumpy over time! Instead of using your nail polish remover to thin (which can actually ruin your polish), RENEW is designed to work with Zoya’s formulations.
