Yep, Zoya keeps giving us serious pastel perfection every Spring, and this years crop is mix of cremes, frost, metallic shimmers, and a fun glitter topper! Are you ready?
Zoya "Dot"
3 coats, no top coat
Okay...you know the drill I do not like pastel pinks, BUT this is actually sort of "soft and endearing", like a pretty pillow of cotton candy...which I love by the way, LOL!
"Dot" is a light pink creme...emphasis on light! The application was difficult and I needed three THICK coats to prevent bald spots and streaking. It's pretty....a pretty P.I.T.A. :)
Zoya "Cole"
3 coats, no top coat
"Cole" is a cream soft peach creme. It reminds me of sherbet. :) It is gorgeous on, but it too was a P.I.T.A. to apply. Three coats did the trick, but it was not pretty, LOL!
Zoya "Hudson"
2 coats, no top coat
"Hudson" is a lilac metallic shimmer, gorgeous on the hand and easy to apply! I love the way this color POPS and still looks Spring like :)
Zoya "Dillon"
2 coats, no top coat
This is the mint version of "Hudson". "Dillon" is a mint metallic shimmer. Another beautiful color, and this too is perfect for Spring. Perfect application in two coats. I applied thin coats because I was afraid this would give me issues, but it was fine. :)
Zoya "Rebel"
2 coats, no top coat
"Rebel" is a robin egg blue metallic shimmer. Perfect application in two coats, and I honestly love this color on my hands. Bright and cheery!
Zoya "Brooklyn"
2 coats, no top coat
No, no, no, I can not express how much I DISLIKE this polish...NO! The color is not my favorite, the metallic finish in this color leaves a TON of brushstrokes behind, simply put this is a FROST POLISH from H**L!...NO! The only good thing I can say is..it was opaque in 2 coats.
Now for the glitter topper
Zoya "Monet"
1 coat over "Dot"
"Monet" is a holographic topper in an array of pastel hues.
This is a fun topper, it applied well for a glitter topper. It was thick, but I had no issues nor did I have to go "glitter fishing", LOL. I think I'd like to try this over "Cole" or maybe over a white polish in the winter :) Here are some pics in indirect lighting...
Okay, so my picks are "Dillon", "Hudson" and "Rebel", and of course "Cole". I was prepared not to like this collection, but I really like 3 out of 7, so that's a win win!
Zoya's Awaken Collection is available at Zoya.com. Each polish retails for $9.00

uhm.... Brooklyn and Dillon are my favorites ;) I have a weakness for frosts lol. did you give it a good roll between the palms of your hands before applying?
I think they all look nice. Rebel looks amazing :-)
@Crystal- NO I did not roll it. I'll try that next time, before I decide to give it away, LOL! Thanks for the tip :)
@Ananka- Thanks :)
love Rebel! Cole and Hudson are also beautiful, but that blue is spectacular! Thanks for sharing!
