Is it glass + lip?  
Is it glass + slip?

The Japanese title is

グラスリップ - it is in katakana, so definitely is a foreign word.

So, the title means lips made of glass, or slipping on glass?

Glasslip is presented as a single word, and it is logical to suppose that
"glass lip" is what the anime was going for. This makes sense, since here,
“lip” can mean “a projecting edge on a container or other hollow object”.
Then, "Glass lip” can describe to the edges of glass surface, such as a bead,
where the glass bends around and causes light passing through to bend in
strange ways, distorting the image [1].
