Zoya nail polish is a non-toxic way of getting beautiful nails without using harsh ingredients which damage hands and the environment. By using non-toxic ingredients including vitamins, proteins, and botanicals, the product claims to refine nail plate surfaces and provide long term therapy benefits.

The Natural Nail Salon, located in Syosset, NY only carries Zoya nail polish. Nail stylist Nicole K. described the polish, saying, “We use Zoya polish in our salon because it contains less toxic substances and is a popular polish,” she said. They use Zoya products because the polish “lasts longer and is well known.” She added, “People are giving positive feedback because they want to help the environment and the ingredients they put into their bodies.”

Freshman Olivia L. enjoys using Zoya nail polish because “the nail polish stays for a long time.” She also appreciates the brand’s commitment to natural ingredients, saying “Regular nail polish has a strong smell and Zoya has no smell. Also, I love that the polish doesn’t have formaldehyde because it causes cancer,” she said.

Jericho High School Attendance Secretary Mrs. Del Piano said,  “(I) would definitely consider using the polish.”  But, she also stated, “My biggest concern is whether it is long lasting and if the price is worth the results.” On the contrary, freshman Nadia N. said, “I would not consider using Zoya nail polish because other polishes are more popular and Zoya is higher priced.”

Natural nail polish is a desirable product for many Jericho students.
