The Xbox One X Halo Infinite announcement was met with an unprecedented surge in pre-orders, and the anticipation reached new levels when it was revealed that there would be special tie-ins to celebrate the upcoming game. Now those of us who can’t afford $500 on nail polish will get something just as great: in-game swag.
The “xbox series x halo edition” is a collaboration between the Xbox and OPI. The collection includes three limited-edition shades of nail polish, Halo Infinite swag, and more.
True fact, I guffawed when this news flash made its way into our writers room since I’d previously purchased several from the collection. It’s all about nail polish and video games, after all. Naturally, I purchased some of it.
The collection I’m referring about is a 12-bottle collaboration between Xbox and OPI, one of the most popular nail paint companies in the United States. It was actually live on the ULTA website back in December, which is how I got my hands on a few bottles – and how the beauty community was already roasting the collab a week before Christmas, according to the press release. It launches globally in February, but it was actually live on the ULTA website back in December, which is how I got my hands on a few bottles – and how the beauty community was already roasting the collab a week before Christmas, according to the press release. What was the purpose of roasting it? Because the hues are dull spring pastels that don’t go with the Xbox’s brilliant neons. Maybe the firms didn’t think so, but there are a lot of nail polish-wearing gamers out there, and they’re picky.
What I didn’t realize until this week is that the collaboration has a second game component, which is particularly important to our readers since it includes Halo Infinite.
“Starting February 1st, U.S. fans may earn hue-matched, in-game content for Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite,” the businesses said, referring to a pink/orange vehicle skin in FH5 and a glittering purple armor skin in HI.
In addition, the two colors I purchased, Sage Simulation and Quest for Quartz, are substantially duller than the advertising photographs, and neither is the color described by OPI (Sage Simulation is not a “shimmery sage green simulation” – it isn’t even green). I’m usually an OPI lover (for the quality, not necessarily the colour choices), but these aren’t one of my favorites. Nonetheless, I’d love to see them give it another go.
