SH1 Baby, Take a Vow 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.
What you get in the bottle
- Fewer do-overs: the Intelli-Brush thins the formula under gentle pressure and resets when you lift off, so the gel stays where you put it instead of flooding the cuticle.
- Two coats, full colour: Intelli-Gel reaches its true payoff in two coats and cures in 30 seconds under the OPI Star Light lamp.
- Three weeks of wear: a full OPI SH1 Baby, Take a Vow service holds a glass-like shine for about three weeks before a fill.
- HEMA-free and TPO-free: the formula is vegan and leaves out HEMA and TPO, which matters for clients with a history of gel sensitivity.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.

Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI SH1 Baby, Take a Vow 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. 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. Dipping Powder is the matching dip powder for a dip service in the same shade. Gel & Lacquer + Dipping Powder is gel, lacquer and dip powder together, so one shade covers all three services. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so OPI SH1 Baby, Take a Vow covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
If the set lifts early
Early lifting is almost always prep rather than the colour, and that holds for OPI SH1 Baby, Take a Vow 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 SH1 Baby, Take a Vow is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the whole gel and lacquer category and OPI in bulk.
