What you need to know
This summer, you can get your nails to match your Xbox controller, thanks to a partnership between OPI and Microsoft. Thecompanies announceda Sunkissed Vibes OPI Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller recently that features four shades that all match nail polish from OPI.
Preorders for the controller are open now in select Xbox markets. It launches on May 9, 2023. In the United States, the Sunkissed Vibes OPI Special Edition controller will be available exclusively through Target. OPI’s matching nail polish collection, calledSummer Make the Rules, will go on sale on May 1, 2023.
As the controller is inspired by nail polish, it’s too fancy to be called basic colors like “blue” or “orange.” Instead, the top case of the accessory matches OPI’sSanding in Stilettosshade, which Microsoft described as a “pearlescent melon.”
The D-pad has “a splash of OPI’sFlex on the Beach,” which is a peach-like hue. The back of the case matches OPI’sSurf Nakedblue and the triggers are a rather bright shade of green calledSummer Monday-Fridays.
Apart from the colorful design, the Sunkissed Vibes OPI Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller is like any new Xbox Controller from Microsoft. It can connect to theXbox Series X,Xbox Series S, and other Xbox consoles through Xbox Wireless. You can also connect it to a PC, iOS device, or Android device through Bluetooth.
Microsoft and OPI have partnered up before. Last year acollection of nail-polish-inspired Xbox Wireless Controllershit shelves. This year, the companies decided to focus on a single controller rather than a range.
