No Regrets: Zoya Nail Polish Exchange

May 26, 2010
File under: Acquired Aesthetics, Beauty

After much deliberation, I’ve finalized my choices.  I’ve sent them out.  There’s no turning back now – what’s done is done, and I just hope I won’t regret my decision.

-

I am, of course, talking about nail polish.

I sent Zoya nine toxic polishes yesterday – these ones, if you’re curious – so they can dispose of them according to EPA guidelines.  In return, they’re sending me nine brand new Zoya polishes in any colors I want. They have over 400 colors to choose from, so it was a bit overwhelming, but here’s what I decided on:

(Click to see the colors/names up close.)

A couple of matte (shine-free) polishes, some super bold “toes and weekends” polishes, and a few that I can barely pass off at work, while still having fun with the season.  And “Sam”?  You have GOT to see Sam. It’s so dark and vampy!  I predict it, or something like it, will make a resurgence for fall.

There are a couple of caveats to this deal, but they’re more than reasonable.

  • You must pay $3.50 per bottle – via check or card – to cover shipping and processing.  (Keep in mind, that’s less than half the cost of most Zoya polishes, and you’re not paying additional shipping, so it’s more than 50% off.)
  • You have to send Zoya six or more old bottles of polish to qualify;
  • The polishes you send can’t be Zoya, Qtica or Nocti polishes.  (They can, however, be regular, mini- or oddly-sized; you’ll still get a full Zoya bottle in exchange.)

The Zoya Polish Exchange lasts through June 30, so you’ve only got a month left to choose your favorite colors, pack up your old polishes and send them in.  Once I have mine, I’ll be sharing it with all of you (and maybe even giving a polish or two away) – please share your choices with me as well!
