Pretty Vulgar’s newest [nail lacquer products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products) are being called as ‘Nail Liquor,’ with branding and packaging that has been designed to remind of [miniature bottles of alcohol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-spirits-bottle). Beyond just having bottle-shaped containers, the colors have been named to fit the overall theme, with examples like ‘Frisky Whiskey,’ ‘Pinkies Up’ and ‘Spilled Wine’ being a few standouts.

As far as the nail polish product itself goes, the Nail Liquor boasts a [built-in topcoat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourinone-nail-polis) that provides a long-lasting, glossy shine. The nail polish bottles also sport extra-wide brush applicators, which make it easier to apply a solid coat with fewer swipes of one’s brush.

A number of novelty cosmetic products and makeup applicators are emerging across the beauty industry, satisfying a growing consumer demand for whimsical products that deviate from the norm.
