Kilamkam Nail Wraps

$15.00

The Kilamkam nail wraps are part of the Philippines Collection and feature black, white, and yellow linework designs over a red base.

Each pack of nail wraps come in 8 different sizes, for a total of 16 wraps. A mini nail file and two alcohol wipes are also included. ** Please note: quick-dry top coats do not work well with these nail wraps **

Please visit the FAQ pagefor tips, instructions, and return policy. Visit the blog to learn more about nail wraps.

Origin of the Design: Kalinga is a tribal community as well as a landlocked province located in Northern Luzon, in the Philippines’ Cordillera Region.

The Kilamkam is one of the oldest Kalinga woven cloth designs and originates from the word kamkam, which means to pick. This design is made by picking of the warp in a particular pattern to come up with a different design. They are used as canopies during Bodong (peace pact) celebrations.

A percentage of the proceeds will support the project of Kalinga culture bearer and Master Weaver, Jenny Bawer Young, who provided education and guidance for these Kalinga nail wrap and nail decal designs to uphold our commitment to cultural responsibility with indigenous communities.

And you don’t have to be Filipino to wear them! Your support of this collection also supports the folks I partnered with to bring you these fresh styles. The idea is to spread knowledge of the rich culture to everyone.
