For this post, it is a repeat of OPI in Mexico City Move-mint that I reviewed in May 2021.
This is OPI in Mexico City Move-mint. Since I did a thorough review of OPI in Next Stop...The Bikini Zone, I will base this on that.
Here's a closer look at the color. The website describes it as "soft understated green nail polish" and I disagree. I do not see green whatsoever. It's a more pastel, light blue.
Here's a closer look at the brush.
I applied Essie Strong Start Base Coat, two coats of OPI in Mexico City Move-mint, and topped all the nails with Orly In A Snap Quick-Dry Topcoat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the brush is wide enough to do three strokes and move onto the next nail. I like my curve tips. Even though it doesn't have a curve tip, it was doable but I would prefer it to be curved. I am just not that good with painting. Secondly, I like the packaging. It's simple and professional looking. 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 in-between medium to thick. 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 an alright consistency. Since it's a pastel color, it has a thicker texture than I like. It's all mental but it makes me work faster. When I paint my nails fast, it comes out not that great. Again, this is just me. Other people can paint their nails with no issue. 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 no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, it's such a pretty light blue color. I would say this particular color matches Tiffany the best I have ever seen. Would I say the color is unique? No, you can find in other brands. It might be a little bit darker than this. It's a great spring and summer color. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. Two coats were good enough for my skin tone. If you use thin coats which I didn't, you might need to do more than two strokes. Lastly, I did not seek shrinkage whatsoever. I got chipping on the tips like no other. It started chipping on the second day. It wasn't a small chip. It was huge and it got bigger as days went on. I am glad I got this polish. The color is pretty but I wouldn't repurchase knowing how quickly it chips.

Would repurchase: No.
