ZOYA Nail Polish Earth Day Exchange

Earth Day was April 22, 2017 & ZOYA is offering their "Earth Day Exchange" where you trade in a your old nail polish for a 50% credit towards your purchase with free shipping.  You have to purchase a minimum of 6 bottles with a max of 24.  They retail $10 on their website, so if you purchase 6 bottles you pay $30 plus tax.  Not a bad deal.  

They don't require you to send in your polishes into them (& don't specify a certain amount).  They use the honor system, to where you either mail them your polishes or donate them & they don't have to be ZOYA brand nail polish.  You can click on the photo above for more info & Q&A's.

The Zoya Earth Day Exchange 2017 runs from 4.10.17-5.10.17 (11.59PST). Use code "EARTHLUV" at checkout.  I don't think I'll be participating this year, but if I were these would be the 6 shades I'd choose.  You'll see a theme:  light/neutral because I'm so darn daring.

ZOYA prides themselves on being the "healthy color of fashion".  They are known for long wearing, toxin free formulated without formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor, tphp, parabens, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, & lead.  Therefore branding them as "BIG 10 FREE".
