Hello Ladies!
Who of you my readers are nailholics? Because I guess you’ll going to like this post!
I think this is the first time I’m sharing something about nailholic addiction, which I’ve just stumbled last month during the beauty event I’ve attended. Let me share with you these amazing nail products from Korea and if you already know this, then join our conversation
Thanks for Yeppunonnie Philippines where I’ve got a chance to meet these bubbly nail specialists!
What is VIKA Nailjam Gel?
VIKA brand is founded in Korea and is showcasing these 3D nail jams which are basically gel stickers that you can use for DIY-ing your very own manicure or pedicure! They have various unlimited designs, from florals designs, quirky stuff, animated, disco party, etc. you name it!
You can make all these designs, and unleashed your creative nail-bitchy side!
So VIKA Nailjam Gel Collection offers a DIY-nail kit with includes some nail gels, 3D stickers, glosses, and a touch LED Lamp for a fun DIY manicure bonanza.
I may not personally be a huge fan of 3D nails because of the fact that I can’t create one, and also the thing of I am always active using my hands and nails, and I’m worried that having a 3D nail polish will just fucked-up my lifestyle, lol.
But when a nail specialist from Korea asked me to try VIKA, well I didn’t hesitate.
Look how pretty those nail accessories are, and also the nail specialist!
She used this nail drilling equipment to remove and clean my nail (which already has my nail polish on).
I also got curious about how this Touch LED Light works! This helps to make your nail gel dries faster in just a few seconds, and hella it works!
Watch how this Korean nail specialist works with her magic hands while prepping my ring finger!
HOW TO USE VIKA?!
1. APPLY NAIL TONIC – If you have any lines on the surface of your nails, trim them and apply a base coat of VIKA NAIL TONIC after removing gel or manicure and wait until it dries.
2. STICK NAILJAM – To protect nails, NAILJAM is excluded with chemical components as much as possible and minimizes the adhesion. If you apply NAILJAM on all your nails before the topcoat, stickers can get rough. You should carry out curing after one nail and move on to the next one.
The sticker is 2D but your nails are 3D. This will requires you to customize stickers depending on the shape of the nails. First off, start at the center of the fore cuticle to stretch the sticker so that it cannot get rough and can be attached meticulously. Since there is a chance you might fail the first time, try to practice many times.
3. APPLY GEL TOPCOAT – The first coat is the most important. Applying Gel Top Coat in multiple layers will give a last longer glossy appearance of the nail. If you apply the first coat, apply it to the center of stickers only (avoid the corners of stickers). If a top coat is applied to the corners of the sticker without completely dried out, the sticker can yield a rough surface. After the first coat is completely dried, stickers will be fixed. Now, you can proceed to the second gel topcoat layer. Apply gel top coat to the corners of the sticker at this time. For the third layer, you should apply enough amount of gel top coat to cover all surfaces of the nail.
4. TOUCH LED LAMP LIGHT CURING - The first and second layer requires 5 to 10 seconds of curing time and the final layer requires approximately 30 seconds of curing time.
5. WIPE OUT RESIDUE WITH A CLEANSING WIPE!
TIP: What if the stickers of the tip of the nails got rough? Trim the rough part of the nail with a nail file and apply a gel top coat for another curing. You can coat the area with a gel until it feels smooth.

These are so neat! I don't like things on my nails but my daughter LOVES it. The Simpsons ones are cool!
ReplyDeleteYeah creating these are so tedious and I admire those who are diligent on doing these on their nails. I only like my nails in simple nail polish.
DeleteTheir nail gels last for 2 weeks when I tried it!
The Simpson nails are so cute. If I were to do this, I'd pick that!
ReplyDeleteSimpsons are classic! I like it too :D
Deletegel nails are nice. I wish to do it again too
ReplyDeleteyeah me too! I can't create these alone.
DeleteThose look all so pretty! Thanks to my work I haven't been able to try gel nails umm.. Ever before, but I might give them a go now when I'm on a longer vacation haha. Oh, these look so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time to try gel nai polish during the event, and it was amazing. I admire more about the nail artists creativity and diligent to create these pretty designs.
DeleteAmazing, Amazing and AMAZING!!! Do you know if they operate internationally? I rarely do much to my nails because I play a lot of sport and currently in school, but I would love a pampering one day. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI think currently they are only based in Seoul. But their nail polishes are can be ordered and ship internationally.
DeleteThese look so cool! I absolutely love having my nails done but am so bad with fiddly things! I usually just stick to the usual paint, but some of these look super fun i might try and get a bit more experimental..
ReplyDeleteHello Emily,
DeleteSame as me, I only stick to simple strokes because those little trinkets fucks-up my nails, and I ended up disappointed. That why I need someone, a good nail artist to do it for me :)
I love gel nails, they are long-lasting and beautiful! Amazing VIKA Nailjam Gel Collection, the Simpsons are super cool!
ReplyDeleteHello Eugenia, I proved that it's true. When the nail artists painted my nails, it last 3 weeks on me! It was amazing :)
DeleteHaha to the Simpson ones! Yep I've heard of nailjam before, I'm swing it more and more over here in the UK people advertising it. I haven't tried it though! I'm like you, I do so much with my hands that anything like this wouldn't last! They're really funky though. Ree Love30
ReplyDeleteGel nailpolish quite last a bit longer but fucking expensive. I don't mind redoing my nails every 3 days. At least it saves me money :)
DeleteWow I love this collection! I love doing my nails. But I usually do that in a boring way. Just some regular nail polish. I totally love the nails I saw of the Simpsons. That's so cool!! There's so much choice. I really love it. So creative.
ReplyDeleteSimpsons are such an icon and most of you ladies love them! I like that :D
DeleteSo many awesome colors and designs! Love all of the cute cartoon characters
ReplyDeleteThanks Chanelle! If only I could also wear them all!
DeleteThese are all fun nails! I can't put stuff on my nails because it just feels off to me. I've always been weird like that. BUT my daughter loves to put things on her nails.
ReplyDeleteShe will love these nail arts for sure :)
DeleteI would love it! I have seen the 3-D on television but your probably right I'm also to active to keep them.
ReplyDeleteThey are totally cool AF!
DeleteThese are amazing, I love all the colors. Golly if I am in that place it will take me forever to choose which color to use.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I love them all Anna :)
DeleteI should look into something like this over here in the US. I moved to a rural town and the local nail places don't do gel nailpolish! I imagine it'd be a lot cheaper to do it on my own too!
ReplyDeleteHello Divya, I think there are many tutorial on Youtube for gel nail polish. Glad I've tried it, but honestly its quite tedious!
DeleteThis looks like so much fun! I am pretty boring when it comes to my manicures, but I'll need to look into this nail art. thanks.
ReplyDeleteMe too I only know the old school version but am happy with it :)
DeleteI've seen this look in a number of places. I don't think I would be able to pull it off though. By the way, I like your glasses in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks you! I got my eyeglasses from Glassesshop.com. They sent it to me as gift :)
DeleteNever heard of VIKA Nailjam Gel Collection but it looks amazing! I'd love to try it!
ReplyDeleteCurrently they are available in Korea, and soon open for overseas distribution.
DeleteThat's so cool that you can get Simpsons ones! The process looks fun and easy!
ReplyDeleteYeah it does looks easy, but it's not! Geez, now I have high respect with nail technicians.
DeleteOhmmmyyy!! i love them all! they are all cute!! i hope i am in that place! i would like to try!
ReplyDeleteHello Cecilia,
DeleteYou may check your nearest nail salon and try the gel nail polish!
Omg how cool would I be to have the Simpson characters faces on my nails. I love this idea.,
ReplyDeleteYeah I know!
DeleteWhile reading my readers comments, I realized what if I print small Simpsons designs and paste it to my nails? lOL
I love nail polish too .But get impatient if it takes hours to get it perfect.The LED TOUCH thingy looks great and so do the accessories. Definitely some day
ReplyDeleteI'm eyeing for the LED touch coz it makes your nail polish dries quickie and effectively.
