Another empty bottle of Zoya Remove +

If you don't believe us when we tell you how wonderful our 3-in-1 nail polish remover, cleaner and prep, Zoya Remove + is check out this review from the Beauty Couch that says it all for us. Allow us to suggest the 32 oz refill of Remove + size to all!

"So while I understand that it might be tough to convince you that the additional expense of Zoya Remove+ is not wasted, I just want to be clear that this is the absolute, hands-down, best nail polish remover ever. Is that too effusive? Let me explain.

Zoya Remove+ is billed as a 3-in-1 product due to its ability to remove nail polish, cleanse the nail and prepare it for polish, which is good for starters. But more than that, and most critical to my love for this product, is the mild acetone formula that is specially formulated to not dry out the nail or surrounding cuticle. And in addition to being formulated not to dry the nail and cuticle, it actually doesn't. For someone with chronically dry hands, cuticles and nails, this is nothing short of a small miracle. Particularly if you are nail polish fickle and change color at least twice a week, Zoya Remove+ is definitely something that needs to make its way into your medicine cabinet.

And, yes, while it is expensive, I like to think of spending money on a quality nail polish remover as a little like spending money on good undergarments. One might think: Why bother because no one else is going to see them? However, similar to good undergarments, good nail care is the foundation of pretty hands and manicures; it doesn't matter how beautiful the polish looks if the nail is dry and the surrounding skin is cracked and flaking. Similarly, no one is going to notice the gorgeous cashmere sweater if there are all kind of disorganized, lumpy things going on underneath it. You get my drift here..." The Beauty Couch

We've always been the one - Zoya Nail Polish

Green and Eco-chic Beauty From the Start! No Toxic Carcinogens in Zoya Nail Polish...

Art of Beauty (makers of Zoya and Qtica) has always been a leader in the world of beauty. Completely free of Formaldehyde and Toluene from inception, Zoya was the first major nail polish brand to also remove Dibutyl Phthalate and Camphor from its Vegan Friendly formula.

Being the healhier choice in nail polish isn't something new for Zoya, it's the way it's always been because the makers of Zoya care as much about your health as we do about making the world's longest lasting natural nail polish formula in the best colors (over 300 shades and counting).

All this combined with the fact that Zoya is a Cruelty Free product adds up to one truly incredible product... Zoya is the new color of fashion!

The Zoya Nail Polish Riddle

This riddle stumps most new hires at AOB. See if you can guess the answer.

One day a corporate spy stole Zoya Nail Polish seasonal colors for the following year. After being caught by the Nail Polish Police, the culprit was brought to trial. The judge, a wise and intelligent fan of Zoya Nail Polish, decided to be lenient and not sentence the 25 year old spy to life in bad nail color prison. Instead, she felt a more appropriate sentence would be to sentence the culprit to one half of their remaining life bad nail color prison (the culprit would have gotten away with a warning, but had a competitors polish on when arriving to court).

How can the sentence be carried out so that the culprit spends as close to one half of their remaining life in bad nail color prison as possible?

BREAKING NEWS: Nail Polish Fairy tracking device set off at at AOB headquarters


Following a loud alarm and a visit by the GPFI (government polish fairy Investigators) AOB offices remained locked down this afternoon.

The Vampy Truth about Zoya Nail Polish

TRUTH!
Thanks VampyVarnish for this great posting on the new Zoya Truth Collection.

Questions about Matte Nail Polish Answered by Zoya

In the past few weeks, many people have asked us either why they cannot use a base coat or top coat with the Zoya MatteVelvet, or if we will have a Matte Base or Top Coat in the near future. We decided to make this post to help explain and answer these questions.

First, what makes mattes different than regular nail polish?
To achieve a matte look and maintain pigment density, the film properties of the nail polish must be adjusted. The result of this adjustment is a film that is less flexible, or essentially more brittle and prone to breakage. The benefit of this film property is that it lets the polish dry at a much faster rate than a traditional polish.If you apply a matte polish to a base coat (matte or non matte) that has not fully dried, what occurs is that the polish and the basecoat dry at completely different rates causing problems shrinking, rigidness and a goopy (best description we could find) mess that may take all day to dry.

Can you use a base coat at all with matte polish?
The answer is yes and here’s how. Clean the nail plate thoroughly to remove all oil, dirt and residue. Apply your favorite base coat (obviously we would love for you to use Zoya Anchor or GetEven) and wait until the basecoat is thoroughly dry (do not use any drying products). Once the basecoat is thoroughly dry, apply your matte polish. This may add an extra day of wear to your matte’s but do not expect the regular Zoya Nail Polish wear that you are used to. For great matte polish application tips, please read advise on Scrangie’s blog.

Now we come to the topcoat issue. Obviously a glossy topcoat will turn any matte polish glossy, so there. What about a matte top coat?
The problem with matte topcoats is that they discolor the polish that they are applied over. Yes they even discolor matte nail polish. The best way to describe the effect is think of applying a piece of scotch tape over your nail polish. A matte topcoat will diminish the richness and depth that matte nail polish tries to create, and simply distort the color when applied over regular nail polish (this becomes more noticeable as you apply it over darker shades and mettalics). Obviously a matte topcoat is a good idea to try and see if you like the matte direction, but it will not achieve a true matte look that a matte polish offers, and will distort the color of anything you apply it over including distorting the color of matte polish.

More YouTuber Love for Zoya Nail Polish from Australia

It's fun to see the Eco YouTube beauty gurus and natural beauty experts from Vitalorganic discussing Zoya Nail Polish.

The Vitaleblog,states the following...
"The toxic ingredients in nail polish should be a bigger issue than they are. Commonly found in most commercial nail polish brands are phalates, formaldehyde, camphor and toulene, each one of these with the potential to increase the toxic burden we place on our bodies. The only way to avoid them is to choose non-toxic nail polishes and may I say, non-toxic brands should be more common than they are."

"So while the brand we use is not 100% natural (there is currently no such thing as a natural nail polish) we make sure it contains non of the aforementioned ingredients. I have made a video which discusses each of these potentially harmful ingredients and showcases Zoya, the brand of non-toxic nail polish we use in our organic beauty salon."

Michael, an advanced chemist, developed and patented many of the products that launched the company, including the industry’s first fast-drying topcoat and Zoya, one of the first toxin-free nail polishes in the market.

Zoya has more than 300 nail colors and a full range of treatments, all of which can be purchased at www.zoya.com and fine salons nationwide.
