For this post, it is a repeat of Zoya in Flynn that I reviewed in October 2016.

Here's a closer look at the packaging. It is still sold on the Zoya website.

Here's a closer look at the color. The color is slightly darker on the nails than from the bottle.

Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to OPI, the width and length is a lot shorter. I would say the width is on the thin side.

I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original, Madam Glam Gelementary Gel-Like Base Coat, two coats of Zoya in Flynn, and topped all the nails with Essie Good To Go Top Coat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the brush isn't something I would grab for. Even though it's not my type of brush, it was doable. I just didn't clean the brush in the inside of the bottle before using. It made it easier to spread on the nails. With that said, it was easy to paint around the cuticles and sides. I think it's because the color is so close to my skin color. If the color went over the nails onto my skin, I wouldn't notice with my naked eyes. Secondly, the packaging is nice. I have neve disliked any nail polish packaging. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy as well. 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 while painting. It's a good consistency and you can take your time with painting. It does not 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 a warm caramel taupe if that is even a color. It's a great fall color, as well as, for work. It will look a lot better on darker skin tone. I think it blends a lot more on light skin tone to a point that it doesn't stand out. Pigmentation-wise it's up there for a neutral color. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, I saw chipping on the tips on the fourth day. Other than chipping, I did not see shrinkage whatsoever. It looks pretty decent for a neutral color but also, I think it blends in with the nail color. For that reason, it doesn't show that much with the naked eyes. I'm glad I got this color. It's actually really pretty!

Would repurchase: Yes.
