Manicure Monday: OPI in "Liv" in the Gray

For this post, it is a repeat of OPI in "Liv" in the Gray that I reviewed in December 2017.
Here's a closer look at the packaging. I could not find it on the OPI website. It's either sold out or discontinued. I'm guessing it's discontinued.
Here's a closer look at the color. The color is a 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 "Liv" in the Gray, 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 to do three strokes and move onto the next nail. I also found it easy to paint around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, I have never disliked any packaging when it came to nail polishes. With that said, 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. 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 while painting. It's a good consistency. You can take your time with painting and not worry that it will get clumpy 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 dark gray. It is a great color for fall and winter season. If you don't want to wear black but want something dark, this is perfect. I think the color is unique and have not seen this in other brands. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. It's pretty pigmented for two coats. Lastly, I saw shrinkage around the third day. After shrinkage, it started chipping on the tips on the fourth day. I'm glad I got this polish. The color is so unique and blew me away!

Would repurchase: Yes.
