Xbox’s collab with OPI nail polish comes with Halo and Forza skins

Get the acetone ready

This is one of those collaborations I wouldn’t have seen coming a few years ago, but it’s 2022 now, and companies are learning more than ever that gamers do indeed enjoy traditionally feminine products. Look at the ubiquity ofpink gaming accessories, or the success ofColourPop’sAnimal Crossingcollection. I remember always seeing OPI’s newest collection out on display when I went to the nail salon as a kid (they’re kind of known for their collaborations), so it’s cool now to see one of my favorite brandscrossing over with Xbox. The best part is, you get some pretty sweet in-game skins forHalo InfiniteandForza Horizon 5on top of your already pretty cool purchase.

Each color has a gaming-themed name, like pastel blue called “Can’t CTRL Me,” the lavender called “Achievement Unlocked,” or the shimmery red called “Heart and Con-soul.” Each of the 12 shades is available in Infinite Shine ($13.00 USD each) and Nail Lacquer ($10.50 USD each) formulations, and are currently on sale atULTA, with plans to expand to other retailers in February.

But now, the information you’ve all been waiting for: each qualifying purchase in the U.S. can unlock “hue-matched, in-game content forForza Horizon 5andHalo Infinitestarting February 1.” And that’s not all! Fans also have the opportunity to win a custom Xbox controller matching the hues Achievement Unlocked, Racing for Pinks, and Can’t CTRL Me — just follow @OPI onInstagramandTikTokfor details.
