Manicure Monday: OPI in Let's Be Friends!

For this post, it is a repeat of OPI in Let's Be Friends! that I reviewed in May 2018.
Here's a closer look at the packaging. I cannot find it on the website. It's either sold out or discontinued. I think it's the second but I could be wrong.
Here's a closer look at the color. It is slightly brighter 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 Let's Be Friends!, 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 wish the tip was curved. I found it kind of hard to paint around the cuticles and sides. If you are a more experienced painter and not as impatient as I am, it shouldn't be a problem. With that said, it was still doable. Secondly, I love the packaging. The design is so cute but at the same time looks professional. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy. You can feel a tight seal when you 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 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 it will not get clumpy. With that said, it's easy to use. It goes on smoothly, and there are not streaking and bubbles. Fourth, the color is so pretty. It's a creamy, light pink. It's great for spring and summer season. I think it's unique but I am sure you can find it in other brands. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, I did not see shrinkage whatsoever. I did see chipping on the sides of the tips on the second day. After that, I did not see anymore. I'm glad I got this product. The color is so perfect. I cannot stop staring at it.

Would repurchase: Yes.
