Daily delight: introducing Zoya nail polish

In the weekend I was lucky enough to make the acquaintance of Zoya Nail Polish, whilst having a truly wonderful luxury pedicure at Jasmine Spa near my home. Zoya is the creation of a company known as Art of Beauty, which was founded in 1986 by Zoya and Michael Reyzis. They had a shared vision, which evolved from a small nail salon into a spa focusing on natural nails, skin care and alternative European herbal treatments. Today, the company has grown to become a manufacturer of innovative professional beauty products and their name has gone worldwide. Zoya, originally a classical pianist in Russia, earned her Cosmetology license in 1979 when she and her husband Michael immigrated to the United States. While pianist jobs were limited, the world of cosmetology offered a new career, and she threw herself in feet first. Through Zoya’s hard work, and a demand for quality and healthy, natural ingredients for her clients, it became evident to her that there was a need for the perfect products. Responding to his wife’s requests, Michael, an advanced chemist, developed and patented unique products for the salon and spa, including the first working fast drying topcoat and the longest wearing, formaldehyde free natural nail polish, which formed the basis of the range we now know as Zoya. As the first to remove toxic ingredients such as toluene, formaldehyde and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) from its formulations, Zoya has a strong focus on the health and well being of salons, spas and consumers, as well as being available in 300 gorgeous colours. It also claims to deliver the longest wear possible on natural nails, which I am pretty confident it will. Zoya, I'm glad I met you!
