Claws by Tiger Taylor: Sustainable, Stylish Press-On Nails That Biodegrade Naturally

Let’s start with beauty, because who doesn’t love to feel polished and put-together as we shed our winter layers? But this spring, it’s time to rethink what “chic” means, especially when it comes to sustainability.

Claws by Tiger Taylor are not just any press-on nails. These are the world’s first fully biodegradable fashion-forward sets, offering guilt-free glamour for eco-conscious beauty lovers.

🌍 Good for the Planet

Unlike traditional acrylic nails and plastic press-ons—some of which can take over 500 years to break down—Claws by Tiger Taylor are made from an innovative eco-friendly bioplastic that biodegrades in just 2–3 years under the right conditions. The entire packaging, including the case, is compostable. That means you can feel good about your self-care while protecting the environment.

💅 Chic in Seconds

What makes Claws a true standout is its style versatility. With an incredible range of colours and designs, you can switch up your look from office sleek to evening glam in under three minutes. No mess, no toxic glue, no waiting at the salon. And with nails that make a statement (and a difference), it’s a beauty revolution that feels as good as it looks.

Kurl Kitchen: Natural Hair Care Born in a Ghanaian Kitchen, Made for the World

As conversations around diversity, inclusion, and beauty standards grow louder, we’re seeing more brands step forward with meaningful products that celebrate cultural identity. Enter: Kurl Kitchen, the brainchild of Fleur and Keshia East, a sister duo on a mission to change the narrative around natural hair.

This brand is more than just a product line—it’s a movement.

🌿 Powered by Ghanaian Kitchen Ingredients

Each product is infused with rich, time-honoured West African ingredients including:

Okra – for hydration and curl definition

Black Soap – for clarifying the scalp and removing buildup

Avocado & Cocoa Butter – for deep nourishment

Baobab & Wild Yam – for strengthening and elasticity

Hemp Seed Oil – for healthy, nourished strands

The formulas are gentle, nourishing, and effective across a wide spectrum of curl types—from soft waves to tightly coiled textures.

🗣️ Challenging Hair Bias

What makes Kurl Kitchen revolutionary is its honest cultural storytelling. In a world where TV, film, and magazines still push straight hair as the default symbol of beauty (as seen in The Princess Diaries, Scandal, and even conversations around the Duchess of Sussex), Kurl Kitchen dares to ask: what if your natural hair was the beauty standard?

Founder Fleur East shared:

“Everywhere I looked growing up, sleek hair was the goal. Natural curls were seen as messy, unprofessional, even undesirable. Kurl Kitchen is about reclaiming that narrative—for everyone.”

Now stocked in Boots stores nationwide, Kurl Kitchen is taking up deserved space in the mainstream—and it’s about time.
