This is a repeat of Lancome in Bleu Ciel Parisien that I reviewed in May 2016.

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. Compared to OPI, the width and the length is the same. The only difference is that the tip is slightly more curved.

I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original, Madam Glam Gelementary Gel-Like Base Coat, two coats of Lancome in Bleu Ciel Parisien, 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. Not only that, the curve tips help paint around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, I like the packaging. It's small and cute. 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 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 apply. 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 will not get clumpy with usage. With that said, it's easy to use. It's goes on smoothly, and there are not streaking and bubbles. Fourth, it's a pretty periwinkle color. It's great for spring and summer season. 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 tips on the fourth day. It was very minimal but it did increase as days went on but not by much. I am glad I got this product. I love the color and the longevity is pretty decent!

Would repurchase: Yes.
