    I've been using this Anchor base coat for a couple of months now. My nails are still in okay condition. I say okay because I do a weekly manicure. It protects from most polishes staining. It...

    I used both Anchor (base coat) and Armor (top coat) with Zoya nail prep, polish and quick dry drops. My manicures did not last me more than 2 days! The base coat dries my nails out and peels so...

    Zoya Armor Top Coat provides a fair shine. Nail polish comes off on the brush. It takes a few minutes to dry. The brush is thin (not enough bristles) and it doesn't spread out to apply the top...

    I use Zoya anchor regularly, but just tried armor today. I'm pretty disappointed in the finish it gave my nails. I used the entire color block system- remove, one coat of anchor, two coats of zoya...

    I like Armor and Acnhor - Anchor is a great base coat and Armor is an OK (not a HG) top coat. I prefer Seche Vite - but that can get "gloopy". Armor is fairly quick drying and the brush does...

    Anchor wasn't anything special. Like, I have nothing to say about it, haha. Armor was just okay. It's no better or worse than any other topcoat I have, though it's not as shiny as my Holy...

    I love Zoya Anchor and Armor. I'm about half way through my first bottle of Anchor, and the product is still thin and easy to apply and has no bubbles. I deducted one lippy because Armor does...

    I really REALLY wanted to love Armor especially after the glowing review given it by one of my favorite beauty bloggers. But it wasn't meant to be. Armor takes a while to dry completely, and...

    I like this combo. It works fantastic with Zoya polishes (one week later and just a bit of tip wear, usually polish chips hard or peels off on me after 2 days). It performs slightly above average...

    Nothing but bubbles, regardless of the fact that I don't shake my polishes. Every manicure is the same. Will not repurchase.

    I really tried to like to like Armor and Anchor, but I finally gave up on them after about five or six botched manicures. I can't get the polish to stop bubbling no matter how much Renew I add to...

    This is for Zoya Armor. I got this in a swap and wow I really like it. My HG top coat combo was Revlon Colorstay Top Coat, and Sallys Oh So Wet Quick Dry Top Coat layered over top. This combo...

    I purchased the entire Zoya system after being so impessed with the nail polish. I take it to my nail salon each week for my manicure, and now the owner may consider carrying the line! Zoya is a...

    The 'color lock system' has changed my life ... or at least it's changed my life in terms of how and when I paint my nails. One thin coat of Anchor is dry on one hand by the time I've finished...

    I see a lot of reviews for Zoya Anchor/Get Even and Armor complaining of streakiness (Get Even) and bubbles (Armor). I, too, had these issues initially. Since I was determined to stick with a...

    I won the entire Zoya color lock system, and I wish I could return it! This was the worst basecoat/topcoat combo I have ever tried. I used the entire line with an Essie polish (Midnight Cami),...
