How to Mix Colours

🎨 Option 1: Lighten a Colour with Clear

Want to make a colour a bit softer or more transparent?
Then mix it with Clear!

Examples:

  • Dusk + Clear → soft, light blue

  • Positivi-Tea + Clear → lighter burgundy red

The more Clear you add, the lighter the colour becomes.
👉 A good starting point is 50/50, but feel free to experiment!

💡 Pro tip: Write down your mixing ratios!
Example: 4 parts Positivi-Tea + 1 part Clear = dreamy result you’ll want to repeat.


💕 Option 2: Lighten with Pillow Talk

Pillow Talk is our go-to pink nude – and it works wonders when you want to lighten pigments.

Example:

  • Monte Carlo + Pillow Talk → deep red-purple becomes more muted and feminine

Perfect if you want to take a bold colour and make it more romantic or “clean girl” friendly ✨


🌈 Option 3: Combine Two Colours for a New Shade

Want to create your very own colour?
Mix two different dip colours together!

Example:

  • Daydream + Over It → a soft, purple-grey mix with a fresh attitude
    Think: your personal GLAMRDiP signature.


✨ Option 4: Glitter Magic

Glitter makes EVERYTHING more fun – and you can mix it directly into a regular colour.


Example:

  • Dusk + Head Over Heels → a glamorous, sparkling blue that catches the light from every angle.


Does it shine as much as your personality? Yes. Yeah. Absolutely.


📦 How to Mix

  1. Find an empty container or jar

  2. Start with the main colour

  3. Gradually add Clear or your secondary colour

  4. Shake, stir, and test on a nail if you want

  5. Remember to write down your mixing ratios

  6. Give your creation a name – obviously


💖 Voilà!

You’ve now created your very own GLAMRDiP shade.
No one else has it. It’s not sold anywhere. It’s 100% you.
And that, dear friend, is the most beautiful thing about the whole manicure.
