Let's get right to it!
Dot
Pink Petal Cream

Artificial Light

Dot has a crelly finish.  It's slightly thick and a bit streaky, but it did level out after the third coat.  I think it would be better if you carefully apply thin coats.  It's a really pretty pink though.  This polish was actually originally created for fashion designer Zang Toi's SS14 collection.
Cole
Peach Whisper Cream

Cole is a peach leaning coral and it has a really good formula.  It applies easily and is opaque in two coats.  It was originally created for fashion designer Peter Som's SS14 collection.
Brooklyn
White-Gold Shimmer Metallic

Artificial Light

Brooklyn applies really well, is opaque in two coats and dries really quickly.  It is a bit brush-strokey though.  It's a really pretty gold for spring.  I just don't know if it's the right gold for me.
Dillon
Green Mint Shimmer Metallic

Hudson

Artificial Light

Hudson is my kind of purple.  It's a pretty, bright shade and I love the sparkle it has from all of the shimmer.  It was opaque in two easy coats.
Monet
Multi-Color, Cellophane Holographic Glitter Topper
Zoya Awaken Collection - Swatches & Review

I decided to layer Monet over each polish, so you could see the versatility of it.  To me, it goes really well over all except Brooklyn.  Over Brooklyn, it clashes a bit.  I used one coat over each color.  It applied well even though the base is a bit on the thick side.
My personal favorites of the collection: Dillon, Rebel and Hudson.  I'm in love with the shimmer packed goodness.  What do you guys think of this collection?  Any polishes calling your name?
