ZOYANail Polish, Portia, 0.5 fl. oz.

This polish is either old, defective or ZOYA hasn't figured out how to combine performance with less toxic ingredients. As soon as it dried on my nails, many tiny lines formed across the surface of my nails. It was the strangest thing, almost like the polish was cracking. I hadn't even moved my hands! I removed the polish, shook the bottle well and tried again but the same thing happened! I then took it with me to a professional salon for a manicure and ended up with the same results so it definitely doesn't have to do with my application. Unfortunately, I can't return it because I threw the box away (because who expects to have to return a bottle of nail polish?) so I guess I am out the $10. :-( This was also my first experience with this brand (ZOYA). I wanted a less toxic product but it still has to perform to basic minimum quality nail polish standards. I won't be purchasing ZOYA again.

This color is my favorite. It looks very soft and natural. It gives your fingernails a nice color and when it starts to chip, it is not as obvious. It is pretty long lasting as long as you use a base coat and top coat.

Didn't have great expectations because the polish seemed rather thin. (Maybe because I've become accustomed to gel polishes?). Put four coats on and it has surpassed those expectations. After 7 days the shine is still there and no chips or wear are showing. I'll easily get three more days out of it so I'm impressed.

I was looking for a non-toxic nail polish to use during my pregnancy. Quality and finish on polish was great! If only I managed to do my nails more...

I bought the Portia color. This was my first Zoya polish, I did my research and was trying to find a more natural, more chemical-free polish (to also possibly use on my daughter when she got older). This was listed as one of these "kinds" on several websites, so imagine my huge disappointment when I opened the container and it STUNK just as badly as any regular nail polish (I usually use OPI). Then upon further research I find out that while it may "3-free" or "5-free," it still contains plenty of other stinky chemicals. Plus, it took the manicurist 3 coats of this color to look even. Won't be going with Zoya again... anyone know of any polishes that do NOT stink but still stay on relatively well (I know they won't stay on as well as traditional formulas)?? Thanks!
