The Heritage
Over a half century ago, Zela's founder began a journey that revolutionized a segment of the beauty industry. The legacy begins in 1966, with the visionary introducing never-before-seen nail polish colors when only a dozen mundane shades of red and pink existed on the market. Pioneering a sea of over 300 colors and finishes — from sky blues to emerald greens, from black to a rainbow of glitters (and everything in between), nail color officially graced the fingertips of a new generation of women and coveted by celebrities and tastemakers alike. Modern nail color was officially invented, setting the global standard for the nail polish category which remains a mainstay to this day.
Through the decades, a legacy of forward-thinking and excellence drives our core beliefs. The Zela family continues to uphold its family legacy of innovation, following the tradition of creating the highest quality American made beauty and personal care products.
