For this post, it is a repeat of OPI in Is That a Spear In Your Pocket? that I reviewed in January 2018.
Here's a closer look at the packaging. It is still sold on the OPI website.
Here's a closer look at the color. The color is a little bit darker on the nails than from the bottle.
Here's a closer look at the brush.
I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original, Madam Glam Gelementary Gel-Like Base Coat, two coats of OPI in Is That a Spear In Your Pocket?, and topped all the nails with Essie Good To Go Top Coat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the brush is wide enough. It made it easy to do three strokes and move onto the next nail. Not only that, it was easy to paint around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, I like the packaging. I have never disliked any polish packaging. It's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I open and close the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and on the medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also not too thin that it runs. It's a good consistency. You can take your time with painting. It will not get hard with usage. With that said, it's easy to use. It goes on smoothly, and there are no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, the color is a pretty dark turquoise color. It's a great color for fall and winter season. Pigmentation-wise it's pretty up there. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, I saw no shrinkage whatsoever. I did see chipping on one finger. I think it got stuck on something and the chipping got bigger within days. Other than that, I did not see any chipping even on the sides of the tips. I'm glad I got this color. It's pretty and I think the color is sort of unique. I'm sure you can find it in other brands, but you need to search hard.

Would repurchase: Yes.
