Nailtini 101 - How to cocktail

With 29 Straight Up Colors, 2 Mixers and 9 Toppers, not to mention 7 Garnish designs, the Nailtini cocktail possibilities are endless. For the budding bartender, here's how to get started.
How to cocktail:
Mixers [shade altering base coats]
- Use one coat of Espresso as a base to deepen and intensify any color.
- Use one coat of Cream as a base to lighten and brighten any color.
Straight Up Colors [pure all-premium nail lacquers]
- Apply one to two coats as desired, drying completely after each.
Toppers [special effect top coats]
- Apply one to two coats of any Topper to any completely dry nail cocktail for different finishes and textures:
Vodka for high shine. Chilled for a satiny matte finish. On The Rocks for icy glitter. Crushed Ice for silvery shimmer. Spritzer for golden sheen. Blue Flame for blue iridescence. Sugar Rim for dazzling multicolor glimmer. Gold Haze for shimmering gold pearl. Dry Gin quick dry top coat that cuts polish dry time as it shines and protects.
Garnish [stencil art for nails]

Use any Nailtini lacquer over these simple stencils. Just peel the garnish from the backing paper making sure any inner design remains on paper. Position smoothly as desired on completely dry bare or polished nails. Carefully and evenly apply one generous coat of Nailtini lacquer over the stencil. While polish is still wet, gently peel away the stencil. Allow to dry and top with your favorite Nailtini Topper.
Tip Jar
Application tips:
- Before use, roll bottle between palms or shake gently.
- Be sure to let every coat dry completely before applying another.
Mixer tips:
- Don't apply Mixer too close to the cuticle - you don't want it peeking out from underneath a layer of Straight Up Color
Topper tips:
- For maximum wear, apply one coat of Vodka Topper as a base coat for any nail cocktail.
- To keep brush in prime condition, wipe Topper brush on a paper towel after painting each nail before replacing in bottle.
Garnish tips:
- Be sure polish is COMPLETELY DRY before applying Garnish to polished nails - otherwise, the adhesive could pull off the polish underneath. In fact, the best time to add Garnish is 24 hours after polishing nails.
- You can apply Garnish vertically, diagonally or even horizontally to stir things up.
- Garnish works great on toes - fingernails aren't the only nails that should be cocktailed!
Cocktailing tips:
- Mixers and Toppers also work great alone and with Garnish.
- Any Nailtini lacquers can be layered. Just start with darker colors and go lighter from there - don't be afraid to experiment.
- Frappé and Frothé Straight Up Colors are super sheer - sounds like they'd work as Toppers. What did we say about experimenting?
- B.Y.O.P. - Bring your own polish to your manicurist and let a pro serve up your Nailtini cocktail.



Liptini 101 - How to cocktail

With 11 Straight Up Color lipsticks, 6 Mixer lip base pencils, 11 Lip Liqueur stains, 6 Cordials, and 15 Topper lip glosses on tap, the Liptini cocktail possibilities are endless. For the budding bartender, here's how to get started.
Mixers - shade-altering, wear-extending pencils
- Try moisturizing Ice Water under lipstick to make it sheerer
- Use Cream under lipstick to lighten and brighten any shade
- Opt for Cherry Cola to deepen and darken lipstick
- Choose Banana Flip to take colors warmer in tone, like red to coral and plum to brown
- Wear Pink Whip under lipstick to give colors a cool, pink, slightly frosty cast
Straight Up Color - smooth, creamy lipsticks
- Wear alone for pure, moisturizing lip color that goes on slightly sheer
- Apply multiple "coats" for more opaque coverage
- Glide on over Mixers to tweak shades
Lip Liqueurs - long-lasting, blendable stains
- For lips, smooth on with wand, pressing lips together to even color
- For cheeks, apply color to desired area and blend with fingertips
- Use sparingly for ultra-sheer, natural-looking color
- Use a heavier hand for more vibrant color
- Wear under lipstick to ensure color remains even as lipstick fades
Cordials - jewel-toned shades brimming with subtle shimmer
- For lips, smooth on with wand, pressing lips together to even color
- For cheeks, apply color to desired area and blend with fingertips
- Lip and cheek transfer-resistant tints spiked with an intoxicating shimmer
Toppers - high-shine, special-effect glosses
- Use on bare or stained lips for subtle yet dazzling shine
- Apply over lipstick to add different sheens and effects, from clear shine to opalescent glimmer
TIP JAR
- Any Liptini product can be worn alone - even Mixer lip base pencils.
- Try layering multiple Straight Up Color lipsticks for even more shade variation.
- Apply Lip Liqueur stains sparingly for natural-looking color on lips and cheeks; use a heavier hand for more intense color.
- Apply Cordials lip and cheek tints spiked with subtle shimmer.
- To keep your Toppers glosses in top form, wipe brush clean after applying over lipsticks.
- Do experiment!
