Girly Bits and Firecracker Lacquer Drinks on the Beach Duo

Today I have a duo from Girly Bits and Firecracker Lacquer to show you!  These were inspired by drinks by the water whether it be the pool, the beach, or even sprinklers.  There's nothing better than an ice cold drink by the water on a hot summer day and these seriously have me craving a day at the beach.  It's shameful that I live so close and rarely go!
