Manicure Monday: OPI in Is That a Spear In Your Pocket?

For this post, it is a repeat of OPI in Is That a Spear In Your Pocket? that I reviewed in January 2018.
This is OPI in Is That a Spear In Your Pocket? from the Fiji Collection Spring 2017. 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 "but of course everyone's happy to see you in this lush, tropical teal nail polish." I don't completely agree but I do agree. I agree it is teal but it's more darker teal than tropical.
Here's a closer look at the brush.
I applied Essie Strong Start Base Coat, two coats of OPI in Is That a Spear In Your Pocket?, 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. Since it has a straight tip, I found it harder to paint around the cuticles and sides. That's just only me since I am lazy to clean up, as well as, not the best at painting. Secondly, the packaging is nice. It's universal, as well as, 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 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 using. 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 goes on smoothly, and there are no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, it's a dark teal color. It's great for fall and winter color. Do I think the color is unique? I kind of think so. I have not seen this color 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 tips on the second day. Even though it chipped, it did not get bigger. I am glad I got this polish. The color is pretty and unique.

Would repurchase: No.
