Hello lovelies,

I've reviewed SpaRitual Illume few days ago and I've also done a 3/4 gradient manicure with it which I'll show you today.

I've applied two thick coats of SpaRitual Illume as it has a semi-jelly formula. Then I started to create the gradient effect using two SpaRitual polishes - Knowledge and Clarity. Both Knowledge and Clarity are pink glitters so are great for gradient manicures. I've done the gradient effect on 3/4 of the nails just to make it a bit different.

So what do you think? Do you prefer gradient in the first half of the nail or on 3/4 of the nail?

And this is a tutorial of how to create this manicure:

Hello lovelies!

Hope you're all having a nice Sunday :) I've been doing some nail art for the Summer Challenge and some swatches today. Now I'll show you swatches of SpaRitual Illume.

Illume - grape purple semi-jelly. Yes, I said semi-jelly! It has jelly formula but it's pigmented a bit more than jellies usually are but not enough for a classic creme polish. I'm wearing two thick coats so if I'd use regular coats I would need three. The formula was little bit runny and I've experienced lots of bubbles. I probably didn't wait enough time for the first layer to dry so excuse the bubbles. polish by itself is very glossy, I'm not wearing any topcoat.

Overall this polish was a disappointment in regards of the formula but purple jelly? Yes please!
