Organic Cosmestics from Zoya
Nails, unlike hair, aren’t dead: they’re living, growing parts of the human body, and whilst we may think nothing of slicking on the nail polish, gluing plastic falsies on and cementing them with acrylic, the issue of toxicity in our nail polishes, nail art and extensions is a serious one.
Nail polishes have traditionally contained a nasty mix of cancer and reproductive disorder containing chemicals; the top three being dibutyl phlalate (DBP), formaldehyde and toluene – substances you wouldn’t really want within yards of your body or home, let alone on your nails and being absorbed into your bloodstream!
Whilst cosmetic companies are savvying up to the nasties in nail varnishes and beginning to remove some of the worst offending synthetic culprits, unless you pick a completely naturally formulated polish, such as the new natural ZOYA range of toxin-free nail varnishes now stocked in all their glossy, beautiful glory on the buyOrganics site then you can’t be sure there’s not something unsavoury lurking in that colourful bottle of nail polish!
Not only is the range of almost 300 stunning colours and nine 6-polish collections available on the buyOrganics site the safest nail polish around, but they are also all super long-lasting! We tested several different colours and they all lasted at least four days – even with the amount of keyboard-bashing, cooking and cleaning and breaking up sibling fights us busy buyOrganics working mums do!
The brains behind these wondrous polishes is Zoya Reyzis, who created the range whilst pregnant and concerned about what effect absorbing toxic substances through her skin and nails would have on her unborn child. Top salons, health spas and natural organic spas, as well as many celebrities, swear by Zoya – and at just £8.95 each won’t chip into your makeup budget either!
Matching your nails to the rest of your makeup for a really professional look is perfectly possible with the huge range of bright, bold, shimmery or subtle colours in the Zoya range. These days matching nails to eyeshadow colour is a hot trend – choose from one of buyOrganics’ completely natural, organic and nasties-free eyeshadows from vegan minerals range Inika or Nvey Eco to get gorgeous for a party, work or even the school run for all you yummy mummies out there!
We created a stunning look using mineral Inika eyeshadow – ‘Gold Dust’ over the eyelid sweeping up towards just below the eyebrow, then with ‘Burnt Sienna’ across the lid and in the eyesocket - which teams beautifully with Zoya’s ‘Kaufda’ metallic bronze coloured nail polish. A slick of Inika’s mineral mascara in Chocolate finishes this subtle but tempting look. We also stock the Zoya collections, fantastic value with six complementary polishes for just £47 – the new Vibe and Pulse ranges are perfect for the festive party season, with metallic purples, deep reds and even black polishes to get you glammed up for Christmas!
buyOrganics chose the Zoya range for their site because of their performance quality, vegan status and toxin-free credentials. Nails are a living part of the body, growing about 3mm a month, and traditionally a window into the body’s health – as a diagnostic tool for inner and outer health and beauty. Nails can be affected by damage, dehydration and poor nutrition, so it stands to reason they will certainly bear the ill-effects of repeated coverage with ingredients which are banned in drinking water, food and in some household objects.
So don’t compromise your health – or your appearance! Indulge your inner and outer craving for natural, safe beauty and take a look at the buyOrganics range of healthy nail polishes in our body beautiful section:
