SH2 Throw Me a Kiss gives you a clear pink and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Pink sits close to most natural nail beds, so regrowth shows up slowly. It is carried in the spring gel lacquer line-up at ND.
What you get in the bottle
- Self-correcting application: OPI built Intelli-Gel around a responsive gel network that settles itself after every stroke, so a slightly heavy hand does not end in a flooded sidewall.
- Thirty-second cure: each layer of OPI SH2 Throw Me a Kiss sets in 30 seconds under the OPI Star Light lamp, which takes real minutes out of a full set.
- Wear a client notices: about three weeks of glass-like shine before the colour needs a fill.
- Made for sensitive clients: no HEMA, no TPO, and no animal-derived ingredients in the formula.

- Shape and clean the plate: file to shape, ease the cuticle back, buff off the shine and wipe the nail.
- pH step: a single coat of OPI Bond-Aid readies the plate for adhesion.
- Super Base: one very thin coat, capped at the free edge, cured for 30 seconds.
- First colour coat: lay OPI SH2 Throw Me a Kiss on thin and let the brush settle the edge, cure 30 seconds.
- Second colour coat: this is the coat that brings the shade to its full depth, cure 30 seconds.
- Top coat: finish with Super Gloss for maximum shine or the No Wipe top coat when chrome or art is going over it, cure 30 seconds.
- Last check: cuticle oil, then run a finger down each sidewall before the client stands up.
Where this shade gets booked
- Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a milky white for a soft French or a clear top for a bare look.
- Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
- Spring/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.
Which option should you add to the bag
On this page you are choosing between OPI SH2 Throw Me a Kiss in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Intelli-Gel Only is the Intelli-Gel bottle on its own. Nail Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Intelli-Gel + Base Top Gel is the Intelli-Gel bottle bundled with the Super Base and top coat. If you already stock base and top coat, the plain OPI SH2 Throw Me a Kiss duo is the sensible reorder. The bundled options exist for a new station or a second room that has nothing in it yet.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for OPI SH2 Throw Me a Kiss as much as any shade on the wall. Make sure the shine is fully off the plate, the cuticle is pushed back and the surface is dehydrated before the base goes on. Keep every layer thin and cap the free edge on the base, both colour coats and the top. A thick colour coat is the most common cause of a set that peels at the stress point in week two.
OPI SH2 Throw Me a Kiss is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the spring gel lacquer line-up and OPI dip and lacquer pairs.
