Hey, babes! Since Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff for summer, I thought it would be fitting to share Philly Loves Lacquer's newest collection with you! Summer Down the Shore is inspired by Esther the creator's childhood memories of summers spent at the Jersey Shore. This trip down memory lane is a beautiful tribute to various places along the beach. Check out all the good stuff after the jump!

Two easy and creamy coats. This polish is a little on the thick side so I'd suggest letting it dry a few minutes before applying the second coat. I finished this off with topcoat to really let the scattered holo shine through.

The holo sparkle is quite pretty in this. It's subtle, but noticeable in average lighting. In sunny conditions, it's super bright. The perfect sky blue!

Two flawless coats with a great dry time and this one's good to go. Top it off with a high shine topcoat and get ready to stare at your nails.

The flakey shimmer in this is awesome! It's mainly purple, but it also shines blue because of the darkened gray base. This is my favorite polish from the collection. I wore it for a few days and didn't have any chips or peeling. Perfect formula!

This crelly was a bit on the sheer side because it's yellow. No worries though! It built up nicely in three coats. If you want, you could layer this over an opaque base. The glitter payoff was nice and a bit of topcoat glossed it over nicely.

I know a lot of you out there don't care for bar glitter, but this one is different. They're so tiny that they don't stick out or curl. I love this type of bar glitter. There's just enough.

This glitter topper is jam packed with so many different colors and shapes. I used two easy coats for a great payoff. A bit a topcoat did the trick to smooth it over.

As you can see, this is crazy. With such a vast glitter mix like this, I'm going to assume that each bottle will vary. I'm completely okay with that. You'll never have the same look twice.

The formula of this is very similar to Love Those Wildwood Days. I used two coats and waited about five minutes before applying the second coat. A bit of topcoat and it was perfect.

I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of teal shades. This is my second favorite from the collection. It's a great pedicure color!

Three thin coats built up nicely to give this look. The formula wasn't was thick as the first two creamy holos in the collection. Topcoat finished it off nicely.

I wasn't sure about this shade, but I like it a lot. This is a neutral that would work on so many skintones. I think it's universally flattering.

I used three thin coats to get this opaque. The formula wasn't too thin or too thick. It was a breeze to apply and only needed a bit of topcoat.

The red base completely transforms the flakes and shimmer in this. It can read orange, pink, red, and silver depending on the light. Really cute!

This was a bit on the thicker side, but I didn't have any problems with application. Just be sure to wait in between coats or you'll experience dragging. Patience is everything. Topcoat finished it off perfectly.

The holographic effect is stronger in this polish than the other holos. It's stunning in person and I can't say I have anything else like it. It's so dainty. Definitely in my top three from the collection.
The collection will be available for purchase on June 1st at 7pm EST from the Philly Love's Lacquer site.
The full-size collection will be $85, and the mini size collection will be $42.50.

The feeling is mutual! :-*
