Phong shading is a superset of the Gouraud shading system, where specularity is calculated using a normal and the reciprocal of  "roughness" parameter. It's a lot like Blinn shading but computationally less expensive. It's great for plastic and with the roughness spread far enough and intensity dialed down - makes great skin.
