M21 My Chihuahua Bites 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
- 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 M21 My Chihuahua Bites 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.

Where this shade gets booked
- Everyday salon sets: pink sits close to most natural nail beds.

- Bridal and bridesmaid bookings, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
- Spring/Summer bookings, which is where ND files this shade.
Duo, single or add the dip
On this page you are choosing between OPI M21 My Chihuahua Bites 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. Salons running a full service line usually take the combined option so OPI M21 My Chihuahua Bites covers gel, lacquer and dip. A tech testing a new colour on a few clients is better off with the duo on its own.
Storing the bottle
Keep OPI M21 My Chihuahua Bites upright with the cap tight and out of direct sunlight, because daylight will start curing gel in a half-empty bottle. Wipe the neck before you close it so the cap does not seize. Pigment-heavy and glitter shades settle between services, so roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it, which puts bubbles in the first coat and shows up under the lamp.
OPI M21 My Chihuahua Bites is stocked alongside every OPI shade ND carries, the spring gel lacquer line-up and OPI in bulk.
