I couldn't decide which colors I liked the most from Aqua Daisy's summer collection, so I got them all!
Swatches after the jump!
The collection came in an extremely cute home-made box that fit the mini bottles perfectly. The pink ribbon slips off and a tray slides out with 5 cute little 1/8 oz bottles.

| Aqua Daisy Endless Summer |
First up is Endless Summer, a bright orange-red jelly base packed with tiny yellow glitter and small fuchsia glitter. On the nail Endless Summer really looks like fire to me, or maybe the gorgeous golden-orange sunset at the end of a hot summer day.The formula on this one was fantastic, the glitter was evenly distributed and only needed two coats. This is shown without top coat or clean up.

| Aqua Daisy Lemonade |
Lemonade is a yellow creme base with a touch of shimmer, matte white bar glitter and hex glitter, yellow hex glitter, and big holographic hex glitter. The combination sounds like a lot of glitter but this although there is good glitter variety, they are sparse in the polish, overall a very cool effect. Unfortunately, Lemonade was the only polish in the collection that I didn't love. I'm not a huge yellow fan to begin with, and I'm not a fan of bar glitter so I wasn't expecting to love it. Shown is 4 coats and still a touch streaky so it will make a much better layering polish. No top coat or cleanup in the photo.

| Aqua Daidy Sea Isle |
Sea Isle is my favorite of the bunch! It's a blue-ish teal shimmer with a few gold hex glitter and big brown hexes. With a name like Sea Isle I really picture islands in an greenish blue ocean. Love this polish! This is two coats, but it could have used a third. Shown with no top coat or clean up.

| Aqua Daisy Music Express |
Music Express is a bright blue jelly with silver, red, and green tiny hex glitter. It's a really pretty polish, but I find I don't have much to say about it. I like it! Two coats, no top coat or clean-up.

| Aqua Daisy Seaweed |
Last but not least is Seaweed. Seaweed is a bright grassy-green metallic shimmer with little lime green square glitter, bigger lime green square glitter, and big brown hex glitter. The glitter is really unique, and a fun summer polish. Formula was nice, three coats, no top coat or clean-up.
Overall I'm very happy with this collection! With the exception of Lemonade, they had fantastic formulas and have a great mix of jellies and shimmers. I can see these bright colors being a real hit as a summer collection.
Aqua Daisy retails $9.00 for a 0.5 oz bottle or $4.50 from mini bottle. The summer collection is just $21and can be purchased from Etsy.
