Bobbie Holoprism Part 1

Flake polish may be the hottest thing right now, but last year holos lorded it over. I'm not really the type who follows every nail trend out there, and holos are especially dear to my heart. One, because it gives a rather boring-looking polish a whole new dimension with a scattered rainbow effect. Two, because it changes characters depending on the way the light hits it. And three, because Bobbie did a whole new line of holographic nail polish; something that I consider one of their more daring moves when it comes to polish finishes.

The Bobbie Holo-prism Collection is made up of eight holographic polishes named after cocktails. I've had these for months, and it was only a few weeks ago that I finally got around to swatching them.

I've decided to divide the collection into two parts, the first part the ones with a relatively subtle holo effect.

Let's start with Vodka on Ice.

Vodka on Ice is a light silver-grey  with a very, very subtle scattered holo effect that you can hardly see on the nail. Shown here is two coats.

Vodka on Ice has that cool-toned quality to it. I've worn it once, and my friend commented that this is something that this lady would wear.

Pina Colada.

Pina Colada medium-toned yellow with a slight pearlized finish+silver shimmer and almost no holo effect. As with yellows, this one's a bit streaky.

Margarita.

Margarita is pink with a tiny bit of scattered holo effect. It has a bit of a dusty quality to it, kind of like Brink Pink.

The formula one these was thick, except for Margarita. I used two medium coats for Vodka on Ice and Pina Colada, while I used three for Margarita since it's a bit sheer (and a bit thinner than the two). I was a little disappointed, especially with Vodka on Ice because I had high hopes that it would show off more of its holo effect, something like Glitter Gal Light as a Feather. However, the second part, which I will show you (hopefully) tomorrow more than made up for the lack of holo.
