Awaken is from the Romantique Collection, and is a beautiful grey (frosty?) metallic. This applied like a dream and I went for two coats (I normally go for three excluding base coat). And for this manicure I used Seche Vite top coat for the first time! I’ve never really understood the need for a good top coat, but I think I’m starting to get the point now =) I thought I put on too much, but it dried nice and quick, and I made sure to wrap it around the edges since I’ve read that it may cause some shrinking of the underlying polish.

Taken in daylight. It looks a bit blue here, but it is really a neutral grey tone.

Taken with flash.
