Zoya Awaken Spring 2014 review


Hi guys!
What's up today? All good here! Except maybe that I went grocery shopping and they had already removed all of the Easter chocolates. Seriously, why do they have to do that?! I need my chocolate fix LOL


Today I have the Zoya Awaken to show you. This collection was released along with a topper, Monet, but I'll post that one separately very soon, hopefully in a nail art if I'm feeling inspired ^_^




Application was relatively easy on the entire collection but they were all on the sheer side. I used 3 coats plus topcoat on all of my swatches : the cremes required the third coat to even them out and the shimmers to achieve full intensity and avoid VNL.


Dot is a soft pink crelly, a nice and delicate color, the perfect pastel pink.




Cole is a soft peach crelly, and really beautiful one, I might add.




Brooklyn is a cool gold metallic shimmer, a bit too brushstrokey for my taste.




Dillon is a nice light mint green shimmer with a smooth finish.




Rebel is a pretty sky blue shimmer, also with with a smooth finish.




Hudson is another smooth shimmer, pastel lilac this time.





Overall :
I have mixed feelings about this collection.
Gold isn't my favorite color and I found Brooklyn too brushstrokey anyway so that one's a pass for me. The other ones did require 3 coats and I'm not sure I'll be wearing them all that much but they're still really pretty...


Did you try any of these? What did you think about them?
