Zoya Avi with Leopard Spots Topper

One of Zoya's special deals hit me at just the right time late last year, and I got about a dozen polishes along with my big refill bottle of Remove+. Today I've got two of those polishes to share, starting with Avi, a creme that the Zoya website describes as "a smoky greige cream with a hint of red-brown". My swatch is two coats.

 

Avi seems to be something of a chameleon. On me, it pulls toward a greyed out purple. I've seen other swatches that look way less grey and way more purple. I don't see any of the red-brown the description mentions on my nails.

 

Because I have some odd desire to own as many crackle-type polishes as I can, I included the Leopard Spots Topper in my order. It's a black crackle that Zoya says gives "an edgy leopard spots effect". They also say to use it over a textured polish but you know I didn't listen and put it over this creme called Avi. I did a thick coat on my index finger with thinner ones on my other fingers. None of them especially looked like leopard spots to me, so I guess I will have to try it again over a texture at some point.
