S068 Shrimp Cocktail gives you a warm orange and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Orange is a warm-toned shade that lifts tanned and olive skin.
What you get in the bottle
- Viscosity that behaves: the gel is thick enough to stay exactly where you place it, so you are not chasing it back off the skin.
- Colour in two passes: the pigment load in OPI S068 Shrimp Cocktail is high enough that two thin coats reach the shade on the cap.
- Three-week service: a properly prepped Intelli-Gel set runs about three weeks before regrowth shows.
- Vegan, HEMA-free, TPO-free: worth flagging to any client who has reacted to gel in the past.
- 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.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between OPI S068 Shrimp Cocktail 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. 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. Intelli-Gel + Base Top Gel is the Intelli-Gel bottle bundled with the Super Base and top coat. Think about who is buying. A mobile tech carries the OPI S068 Shrimp Cocktail duo and nothing else. A salon with three stations and a dip menu is better served by the combined option.
How to take it off
OPI S068 Shrimp Cocktail is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
OPI S068 Shrimp Cocktail is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the whole gel and lacquer category and the OPI lacquer range.
