Pro-natural free-from nail brands Kure Bazaar (85% natural, made from wood pulp, wheat, corn and potato extracts) and Aussie brand Kester Black (breathable, sustainable, water permeable) have been blazing the nail trail for a good six years now.
And both of these Beauty Shortlist Awards winners have women behind them.
Kure Bazaar’s founder is Brazilian supermodel Kartika Luyet who turned green entrepreneur when she had her first baby.
Meanwhile Kester Black, created by Australian designer Anna Ross, has crossed continents to a beautiful new home at Liberty’s in London.
If you’re keeping your beauty routine minimal this season for whatever reason, these mini-splurge splashes of colour all got a strong two thumbs up from our 2020 Awards judges – and they all won, back in March.
The 2021 Beauty Shortlist & Wellbeing Awards – beauty, grooming, wellness & eco home – open for entries on 1 September
