So, last month we brought news of a bit of a... different collaboration between Xbox and OPI, a nail polish brand. The two companies came together to deliver a range of nail polish, containing some bonus in-game rewards for Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. Well, sort of.
On picking up the product, some fans discovered that the first sets of nail polish don't include any Halo Infinite rewards. In the US, Amazon will be including the Halo rewards with all orders from February 1st, meaning January purchases made directly from ULTA missed out.
Last month's ULTA orders did include the Forza Horizon 5 bonus, but you'll have to pick up a February package from Amazon in the US to go hands on with the Halo reward. Well... you won't be able to use it just yet. While the newer polish kits include the Halo code, it's not usable in-game until the next Halo Infinite patch.
It's all a bit complicated isn't it? Either way, we'll be keeping tabs on when the next patch goes live, and buyers can go hands on with their purple armour coating.
Did you pick a pack of these up for the Halo reward? Let us know in the comments.

Guide to purple armour in MCC: Select the purple colour.
Guide to purple armour in Halo Infinite: Buy a special collab nail polish with OPI, costing $20 from Amazon, but make sure it's the February batch, and you wait for the new Halo Infinite patch. Then just redeem the code, and apply the coating.
Looking at that picture the Spartan doesn't even have painted nails. What's the point then?!
Worth mentioning as well: If you ordered and one was out of stock, you also won't be able to get it as they both have to be listed on the same invoice, and Amazon splits them up.
Bought on Amazon. Submitted Receipt. Got code. Redeemed. Cancelled Amazon order. It was that easy.
Microsoft really needs to look at who is playing their games and fire their promotional manager or whoever.
@isturbo1984 I'm glad to see that they're doing something besides the usual Doritos/Mountain Dew. At least with this Halo/Forza players can have something on their fingers rather than 'Chilli Nacho Cheeze' flavouring.
@PhileasFragg I'm glad they are doing something besides that too. Just not glad they are doing literally anything. Promotions are supposed to promote brand awareness.
My wife buys nail polish. The family has Xbox. She liked the purple hues. No brainer. Got the minimum required very easily.
@PhileasFragg @Richnj I never, ever, ever thought I would see an article about nail polish as a requirement for video game unlocks. And I never ever ever thought I would see something listed in Forza as "an Ulta exclusive."....
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get my tips done....
