Bobbie's Holoprism Collection have names based on different cocktails. What I am about to share today is called "Weng-Weng," a Filipino-made cocktail with a mix of gin, vodka, tequila, rum, brandy, scotch, bourbon, grenadine, orange juice, and pineapple juice. It's one heck of a cocktail, which my sister likes. I am not into it, though.

Weng-Weng the nail polish looks so different from the cocktail, color-wise. At first glance this looks gray, but close inspection, it has a whole lot of different colors. It looks dark green, it looks dark-blue, it looks gray mixed with blue and green. I guess by this description, I understood why this was called Weng-Weng.

This has been one of my favorite ever since I saw it swatched by my friend Joanna on her blog. When I bought a bottle, I didn't know there was a collection featuring this one. I used up all the contents of the old bottle and for this blog, I went to buy a new bottle. :)

Two medium coats of this provides good opacity. Application was good, too, and what I loved about it is that even in the shade, it has this crazy glitter-like look without the texture-y feel because it dries flat and very glossy, no need to add a topcoat.

The holo-effect is not so visible in my pictures, but it does have a mild-holo look. Another thing I loved about its holo-ness was that the shimmer comes in different colors, and seeing a few pink/red dots on my nails made me really happy.

    1. Hi, Lorika! Bobbie is a local brand, so I buy them at the malls and big pharmacies here in the Philippines.

    2. Whoops... I didn't realize at first that you're a Filipina. :) You can buy Bobbie at Watson's, Landmark, and at the Beauty section of SM department store, but I suggest you buy it at Landmark, because they sell Bobbie at only 29.75 a bottle, whereas SM sells it at 36, if I remember correctly.
