SpaRitual Optical Illusion - Swatches and Review

Yuck!!! My highest form of compliment...There's nothing I love better than a fabulously "yucky" green and SpaRitual's Optical Illusion fits the bill.

I generally prefer cremes and that's no different with the yucky greens, but this one just spoke to me when I saw swatches and I had to have it. It was a good decision even though it turned out to be a jelly, which isn't usually my favorite. Yes, I said jelly. It's a murky, swampy olive green with what appear to be green/gold & aqua duochrome glass flecks.

Just a warning, being a jelly it's naturally a buildable polish. The first coat would scare the crypt keeper! (I'll show you that photo at the end. *giggle*) I used three coats for these photos, but after looking at the cropped photos, I can tell I probably need to apply the 3rd coat thicker or add a 4th next time. No top coat in the photos. (As always, photos enlarge when clicked.)

And the closeups (yes, I realize I probably need to pull out the manual and figure out the macro settings on my camera. Soon, I promise!)

And now the scary shot! LOL! This is one coat.

I'm all about EASY and jellies are never easy for me, but I like the color so well, I will wear this again for sure. As far as jellies go, it's one of the easier ones I've tried.
