New Flaky Nail Polish From Zoya

If you missed out on the "flaky" nail polish trend the first time around, this is your chance to try it out. Zoya's new Fleck Effect topcoats ($8 each) are full of Mylar "flecks" that create a pretty holographic effect on nails. They're all transparent and pretty versatile, but if we had to choose one we'd take the pink shade, Chloe. The orange, gold, and red tones in the flecks will go well with Read more

From Pianist to Cosmetologist, How Zoya Reyzis Got Her Start

It's always interesting to hear the stories about the people behind the brands, and Zoya nail polish founder Zoya Reyzis's is a good one. Zoya, who came to the US from Ukraine in 1978, operated Zoya salon in a suburb of Cleveland from 1986 to 1996. A classically trained pianist, Zoya likened the client-to-nail-technician relationship as an intimate musical experience. "I related each phase of Read more

Take a Peek at the Trendiest Nail Polish Collections For Fall

As far as Fall nail polish trends are concerned, I foresee lots of hot pinks, mushroom tones, smoky metallics, burnt oranges, deep, intense greens, and the return of purple — but with a little less smoke and a little more attitude. As far as textures go, think mattes, creams, and brushed, velvety finishes. But, if you're a fan of the shimmer, don't fret. There's plenty of sparkle to go around. Read more

2007 Sugar Awards: Best Nail Polish

I can't say that I'm shocked by the results of this year's winner for best nail polish. While one brand in particular didn't win, it looks like black stole the show with total of 19 percent of the votes. Dark purple came in second place, and navy, and other inky blue hues came in at close third. Looks like goth-colored nails rocked 2007. My personal black fave is OPI's nail lacquer in Black Onyx.
