06 Jan 2022 --- OPI is teaming up with Xbox to launch a vibrant collection of 12 hues, available in four different formulas with colors ranging from fresh blues and greens to shimmering shades.

According to the nail lacquer specialists, this palette brings gaming to the virtual worlds and allows gamers to unlock a plethora of different nail looks and play with nail art and new trends.

Pixelated pinks (Pixel Dust, Racing for Pinks) are joined by energetic hues of bright orange, coral, and vibrant red (Suzi is My Avatar, Trading Paint, Heart and Con-soul).
