PURCHASED
Geekish Glitter Lacquer originally released this quad as part of a Battle of the Bottles release but they will now be available on her site! I did purchase these myself through the Battle of the Bottles live video, but when Lexi said she was releasing them, I was really excited to show them off and really wanted to swatch them for you all!
The Summer Drinks collection release is GGL’s last hurrah for summer and to celebrate Lexi’s birthday!
Happy early birthday Lexi!! (The special day is September 19th!)

All of my swatches are using Cuticula’s peel off base coat (unless otherwise noted) and are topped with Vapid Lacquer’s Quick Dry Top Coat
I also top that with Red Eyed Lacquer’s Tips Matte-r Matte Top Coat
Cherry Limeade
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: A rich red jelly base with red-gold-green shifting shimmer and silver holographic flakies
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
This gorgeous red is just full of flakies! I love how the flakies shift and shimmer and how they appear to be just simple flecks of pink mixed in. This polish applied super easily and this deep gorgeous red just appears to have so many layers to it! I always say GGL is great at reds and this one is no exception! I also love this one matte. It just almost seems to blend everything together so perfectly!
Creamsicle Punch
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: A pastel orange crelly with yellow-green-purple shifting shimmer and silver-gold UCC flakies
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Oh my gosh this polish has the most lovely thick-but-smooth formula! It applied so easily and just felt so nice going on. The shimmer in this one is insane–just look at my low daylight bottle photos above! There are quite a few different shades to the shimmer and while it was a little hard for me to capture that with the polish on my nails, the shimmer is definitely there! This is one that is definitely better in person. 😉
Mountain Dew
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: A chartreuse jelly base with silver holographic flakies
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Now I really don’t buy yellow polishes or wear them much, but honestly this one sort of makes me giggle. I love that the inspiration is Mt. Dew and it is just such a bright and shimmery polish. It applied like a dream and while there is a little nail line visible after 2 coats, that’s perfectly okay for me! The holo is a fantastic addition and honestly sort of makes me think of soda carbonation. This is one I could see myself wearing again for sure!
Tipsy Mermaid
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: A bright aqua jelly base with pink-purple-blue shifting shimmer and pink-purple-gold iridescent flakies
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Ooooo this is a fun one! I love the mix of shimmer and the sprinkling of flakies in this one!
It applied super easily and with only 2 coats there is some visible nail line, but if you wanted no visible nail line, I imagine you could layer this over a white or black creme and it would look stunning that way as well!
Everything laid down nice and flat and honestly this one has me wanting to do some beach themed nail art! I suppose that means this polish did a good job matching its inspiration!
My thoughts on this collection as a whole? It’s delicious! Definitely not to eat, but honestly they made me want some fancy specialty drinks as I call them! I love each and every one and they all applied super easily and I can’t wait to wear them all again!
