The Beauty Gripper is a gripper and drying stand for your beauty sponges. Tammy Taylor designed it in 2018 while doing her makeup & was so frustrated with her beautiful nails that kept getting so dirty from her beauty sponge. She looked all over for a device to hold her sponge while applying makeup. She found nothing, so she decided to create her own!
She is launching an online Nail Institute. Tammy turned in her Guide to Manicuring and Nail Technology book. The Tammy Taylor Nail Institute (TTNI) works together with Cosmetology Schools to license Nail Technicians.
While Tammy no longer does nails in a salon, she has a few clients, including some friends and family. But in 2019, Billie Eilish reached out to Tammy for nails. Tammy has been doing her nails since and together have created super iconic looks taken over red carpets and magazine covers. Tammy has also featured in Billie’s documentary The World’s a Little Blurry.
