Behind The Brand: Meet the duo behind My Papillon Beauty
By Chloe Randall | 26 January 2021 | Brands, Feature
Scratch chats to Founders of My Papillon Beauty, Kelly Mcguinness and Claire Whittle who share how they came to start the brand and what goes on behind the scenes.
After working together in a salon in 2019, Kelly Mcguinness and Claire Whittle had the idea of creating a range of cuticle oil pens due to there being very few on the market. Kelly used cuticle oil pens in her every day work and really wanted to bring a product to nail techs that was special. As well as the cuticle oil idea, Claire brought forward the idea of strip lashes, and this is when the brand was born in September 2019.
My Papillon Beauty offers 14 scents of cuticle oils, in four different ranges.
- The Deluxe Collection- Coco Madammoiselle, Million, Coco and Sandalwood, Lime, Basil and Mandarin.
- The Fruity Collection-Fruit Salad, Banana, Watermelon and Cherry Bakewell.
- The Cocktail Collection-Passion fruit Martini and Strawberry Daiquiri
- The Refreshing Range-Peppermint and Fresh Lemon Sherbert.
The brand also offers a Christmas range, which proves popular all year round.
“We are both incredibly passionate about our brand and our main aim is to bring the best products to our customers. We wanted to create a product that had lasting value and something our customers would return to purchase time and time again” said Claire and Kelly.
Right from the very beginning, Claire and Kelly wanted to produce the products themselves. This consisted of a lot of research into finding the perfect oils, the best application pens to use and also designing unique labels that showed the product off perfectly. “Each cuticle oil pen is assembled by us. So much hard work goes into creating our cuticle oils behind the scenes and we are very proud to say all the work is done ourselves” Claire and Kelly reveal.
“We are a small business which has created something wonderful for the industry. We both live and breathe this industry and the fact we have a new brand doing well means the world to us both” smiled Claire and Kelly.
