What you get
- 1 x OPI S068 Shrimp Cocktail Intelli-Gel gel polish, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x OPI Super Base Base Coat, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
- 1 x OPI Super Gloss Top Coat, 0.5 fl oz (15 mL)
Why techs stock it
- Stays put: Intelli-Gel thins under the brush and self-corrects once pressure releases, so strokes level out instead of running into the cuticle.
- Controlled pick-up: the Intelli-Brush has a rounded edge for the cuticle line and releases gel gradually.
- Up to 3 weeks of wear: base, two color coats and top each cure in 30 seconds in the OPI Star Light.
- HEMA-free, TPO-free and vegan: made without added HEMA and with no animal-derived ingredients.
- Nothing to match: all three bottles belong to the Intelli-Gel system.

Which option to choose
The combo suits a first Intelli-Gel order, since nothing else in the system is needed beyond prep and a lamp. Same shade, other formats: Shrimp Cocktail gel and lacquer duo, Shrimp Cocktail Intelli-Gel, Shrimp Cocktail nail lacquer.
Storing it
Keep Shrimp Cocktail capped and away from the lamp and from windows. Wipe the neck before closing so the cap does not stick. Screen color can differ a little from the bottle, so check a swatch when an exact match matters.
More to pair with Shrimp Cocktail: OPI Intelli-Gel combos, Bond-Aid pH Balancing Agent and OPI Star Light lamp.
