I found the paler colors to be the most difficult to apply without brushstrokes. They also seemed to have a sort of thick, glue-like consistency. In addition to those aspects, all of the colors dry extremely fast, which can make it difficult to "work" the polish to a smoother appearance on the nail.
I'm presenting my pics in order of least favorite (from both an application and color standpoint) to most favorite (better application and color). Please keep in mind these are all "quick-and-dirty" swatches, i used no base or top coat for any of them with the exception of Cherish.

Ohhh, thank you for the swatches, they are beautiful. Harmony is my favorite!
I am really anticipating this collection. I am particularly fond of Cherish. I have nothing like it!
I love them all Hills :D I can't wait for this collex to hit the etailers!! LOL
Wow, these metallics look very smooth and even to me! I hear you on the brush strokes, but you've done an excellent job on these swatches.
Two hints that I have come across to help with these:
* Find a very fine-bristle artist brush about the same size as the one that comes with the polish. this will provide a very silky and even flow to the polish and help a lot to minimize the brush strokes. Of course, you will have to clean the brush thoroughly when you're done. I actually learned this from an artist and decided to try it with polish - and it works!
* (you probably already know this, but...) use pure acetone (not nail polish remover) to thin out the polish and give it more working time. I use an eye dropper to control the amount to add, usually only 4-5 drops is enough for new polishes, more if it is older and has thickened. Pure Acetone is available at any hardware store.
Thank you for the great pics!
these im excitd for but just curious wherecan you get them i thought this was the spring collex.
Love the pics, and to JASON -- never use acetone to thin polish! there is special polish thinner that thins out the consistency, acetone breaks down the polish itself and WILL ruin your nailpolish. So use THINNER =)
hill i love the pictures. i can't wait to get my hands on these.
your font color is a little hard to read against your background, unless it's just my browser. just wanted to let you know <3
Where did you get these? Are they available anywhere yet?
I quite like them all. Can't wait to see the second set. Thank you!
Thanks to everyone for your comments! I got lucky in finding these early, a nail supply sold me their samples, which they aren't supposed to do, but i'm not complaining :) At best i think these will be available at etailers in January.
Gorgeous swatches, Hill! I love all of these. If I love all (or most) of the warm ones I'd have to get all of these. I think my fav is the purple one...yum!

One urgent task was to improve the sledges, which did not work well during the depot journeys. In addition to those he chose specifically for the expedition, Amundsen brought along several sledges from Sverdrup's 1898–1902 Fram expedition, which he now thought would be better suited to the task ahead.
