For the first stage of my test, I used a non-Zoya color. (You can tell I'm a science person). I used Nubar Peacock Feathers. On my index/ring fingers my Diamont/Fiberglass Network combo were used and on my middle/pinky fingers Zoya Anchor and Armor were used.

Day 5 |
As you can see, there wasn't a terrible difference between the two combo's with the Nubar polish. There is a small chip on my index finger, besides the tip wear...but it was pretty much even. My pinky looks REALLY good, but usually my pinky nails don't chip.
The second stage of my test was done using Zoya Raven. I used the same set up: On my index/ring fingers my Diamont/Fiberglass Network combo were used and on my middle/pinky fingers Zoya Anchor and Armor were used.

The result? With non-Zoya nail polish, the Color Lock System gives me the same result as my normal combo. With Zoya nail polish, the Color Lock System is HANDS DOWN the way to go. They are formulated to work together, so it just makes sense.
Do you agree? Do you think I should try this again using a different top coat? Seche will bubble (at least in my experience), so what do you recommend?
Thanks for stopping by!

That's awesome! Would you ever say that using a base/top coat is ok or should you always use a separate base and top coat?
Great review! :)
I do use Seche on a regular basis and it's not bad - there are some things I don't like though. But I agree with you. If using Zoya polishes, their system is the BEST to use with their formula.
Drooling over Peacock Feathers again... darn it! I have to try Nubar. Haven't done that yet. :)
Erin - I've never really used a combination base/top coat. In my opinion they each have a different purpose, so they should be different. There may be other people who think differently though!
Styrch - I've ALWAYS used Seche Vite. I recently got Diamont during the Nubar sale and fell in love with it. I don't have the shrinkage issues with it like I do with Seche Vite.
Veve - Thanks! I'll be sure to check out your blog!
