LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This Spring
2022, take nails to the next level. OPI is teaming up with Xbox to
launch a vibrant collection of 12 winning hues. Available in four
different formulas with colors ranging from fresh blues and greens
to fantastical shimmers, this palette brings the virtual worlds of
gaming to life so you can unlock endless 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). Get ahead of the game
with shades that blend natural beige and greens (Quest for Quartz,
The Pass is Always Greener, Sage Simulation) then take it to the
next level with ethereal lavender and purple tones (You Had Me at
Halo, Can't CTRL Me, Achievement Unlocked, N00berry).
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.
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 own mesmerizing nail
art inspired by fan-favorite games on Xbox Game Pass. OPI and Xbox
will also team up with notable creators from the gaming industry to
bring the collaboration to life.
"Over the past 40 years, we've traveled the globe; now we're
excited to visit virtual worlds with Xbox," remarks OPI Co-Founder
and Brand Ambassador Suzi
Weiss-Fischmann. "In these worlds, anything is possible, and
the collection's colors reflect infinite possibilities to
create. Whether you play video games as a creative hobby or
as a way to relax and connect with friends, nailcare offers these
same benefits. From new shade technology to nail art and more,
consumers can expect lots of exciting surprises to come with this
partnership!"
"We're thrilled to partner with OPI to unveil mesmerizing nail
polish colors inspired by gaming and your favorite titles on Xbox
Game Pass," said Xbox Global Partnerships Director Marcos Waltenberg. "We hope this collection
inspires fans across the globe to embrace their creativity and
imagination through nail art and color."
