Swatch & Review
I paired two of the newest I Love Nail Polish holographic polishes together to test them out. Here are my thoughts on Bottle Service and Pt 78. I wore this manicure back in November, and by some miracle the clouds parted that Monday afternoon and I was able to get a few quick sunlight pictures...

Bottle Service
What I would call a dirty champagne color, this polish has a unique finish and decent holo effect. I used 2 coats, but for my long nails this color will be a 3-coater, because it was sheer when my nails had light behind them. The metallic look was subtle enough for this polish not to have brushstroke issues, which I thought was great.
- Finish & Coverage: Metallic holographic, fairly sheer.
- Dries: Pretty quick... to a satin sheen.
- Formula & Application: This has an easy formula, I didn't have issues with bald patches.
- Wear: Can't remember how long it was on, but I was impressed! Didn't use a topcoat and only had tipwear.
- Removal: Easy-peasy.
- Bottle & Brush: Grippy cap with a flat brush and good bottle, too!
- Perfect For: A subdued-but-glitzy look. Office wear, formal events... Princesses who adore neutral colors and soft rainbow effects.
- Overall: Another winner from I♥NP, in my opinion!
Pt 78
This is a blue-toned slate color... kind of. It's hard to describe, and reminded me of a denim-type hue. I was expecting it to be more grey. The linear holographic effect is much more muted in this polish.
- Finish & Coverage: Metallic holographic-ish, quite opaque.
- Dries: Quickly, to a satin sheen.
- Formula & Application: Easy-to-use and apply!
- Wear: Can't remember how long it was on, but I was impressed! Didn't use a topcoat and only had tipwear.
- Removal: Easy-peasy.
- Bottle & Brush: Grippy cap with a flat brush and good bottle, too!
- Perfect For: Ladies who enjoy dusty blue colors, Autumn, and Winter.
- Overall: This just wasn't my color, I didn't personally enjoy wearing it. It is easy to apply, but be disappointed if you're wanting it for the holographic effect - even in direct sunlight it isn't strong at all.
- Where to Buy: Both of those polishes can be found on www.ILPN.com!
