To achieve the best possible feel, I used 1 coat of Zoya Anchor (step 2 from their Color Lock system), only 2 coats of Mimi (!) and first I used the top coat Zoya Armor (step 4 from their Color Lock system). However, I'm super impatient and so I ended up smudging everything with the Armor top coat. So I took it all off, and went with the Anchor, Mimi, and a top coat of Seche Vite.
Why didn't I use Seche Vite in the first place? Well dear readers, I am going to ask you to read this in your spare time from All Lacquered Up. She knows what she's talking about - I just know because I read this from her: Wear Test
Removal was a snap. I used a bottle polish remover (the one with the sponge inside a cylinder) to let the polish soak for 15 seconds or so, then rubbed my nail against the sponge and pulled out my finger. When I was done with that, I took Zoya Remove (step 1 in the Color Lock system) to wipe all nail plates of any polish that was still stuck in the sides. You an see a little bit still stuck in my pinkie in the above pictures. I attempted to swatch a color yesterday but accidentally deleted the pictures before editing the pictures so that will be a post for another day.
Zoya [official website] can be purchased on their website for $7/bottle
