OPI Partners with Xbox to unveil gaming-inspired Spring 2022 Collection

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).

There are also other shades that blend natural beige and greens (Quest for Quartz, The Pass is Always Greener, Sage Simulation). At the same time, ethereal lavender and purple tones (You Had Me at Halo, Can’t CTRL Me, Achievement Unlocked, N00berry) are also part of the new portfolio.

Starting February 1, consumers can unlock stunning, shade-matched Xbox in-game content for Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 with every qualifying purchase of the Xbox OPI polish at select retailers.

“In these worlds, anything is possible, and the collection’s colors reflect infinite possibilities to create."Fans will have the chance to win custom Xbox Wireless Controllers in top trending hues - Achievement Unlocked, Racing for Pinks and Can’t CTRL Me - to pair with their nail art inspired by fan-favorite games on Xbox Game Pass.
