Our Story
It started with a love of color & got a little out of hand.
Small batch. Story driven. Slightly unhinged.
Well... That Got Out of Hand.
I’ve loved nail polish for as long as I can remember, but discovering the indie polish world changed everything. I fell hard — and started collecting accordingly.
Then I went to my first Polish & Beauty Expo in 2025 and took a polish-making class. I was hooked.
My husband, witnessing the growing collection, had what he thought was a very practical suggestion: “Why don’t you start making your own instead of buying other people's polish? It’ll save you money.”
Bless his heart.... I still buy other people's polish.
And that’s how Zo Zo & Co was born.
Who is Zo Zo & Co?
The name comes from the four-legged members of the family who have always been right in the middle of everything.
Zoey was our Zo Zo.
Cole — and the cats who supervise, judge, interrupt, and occasionally sleep through production — make up the Co.
Put them together, and you get Zo Zo & Co.
Who's Running This Place?
Hi, I’m Christine.
I’m the human behind Zo Zo & Co — the one dreaming up the names, mixing the polish, filling the bottles, packing the orders, building the website, answering the emails, and occasionally wondering how this became my life.
I make everything in small batches from my home studio in Antwerp, Ohio, usually with at least one animal supervising and absolutely no shortage of opinions.
Zo Zo & Co is small on purpose. It gives me room to experiment, make weird things, tell stories, and create the kind of polish I fell in love with in the first place.
Our Pillars & Values
What we believe matters just as much as what we make.
Small Batch. Made With Personality.
Zo Zo & Co is small-batch polish handmade with love, whimsy, a little sarcasm, and occasionally some dark humor. We make things that delight us, make us laugh, tell a story, or are simply too weird not to put in a bottle.
Color Is for Everyone.
Nail polish has no gender, age, orientation, identity, or dress code. If a color makes you happy, wear it. Period.
Equality Isn't a Marketing Strategy
Zo Zo & Co is proudly pro-equality, pro-LGBTQ+ rights, pro-women's rights, pro-choice, pro-diversity and inclusion, and pro-religious freedom.
We believe everyone deserves dignity, safety, equality, and civil rights regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or background.
Your Dollars Have a Voice.
We believe one of the ways you can make yourself heard is by choosing where and how you spend your hard-earned money. We do the same when choosing the businesses, organizations, and causes we support.
If our values don't align with yours, we encourage you to spend your money somewhere that reflects your beliefs—just as we do.
Human Rights Aren't Negotiable.
We oppose racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, fascism, authoritarianism, and policies that dehumanize people or strip them of their rights.
Zo Zo & Co does not support Donald Trump, his administration, or ICE and the cruelty carried out in the name of its immigration policies.
There should be absolutely no question about where we stand.
You Matter. And We're Glad You're Here. ❤️
If you've ever been told that who you are, who you love, what you look like, where you came from, or how you exist in this world makes you less deserving of respect or belonging:
It doesn't.
There is room for you here!
