illuminate is the 33rd polish in opi's designer series, released at the end of 2008. i've already shown extravagance, fantasy, tapestry, mystery and radiance.
illuminate is described as "a brilliant sparkle of rich, burnished gold". it is kind of a light brown/dark nude, with dence holographic particles, that are kind of a signature for this collection.
even though it is millions of years old, the formula is still amazing, didn't change in the slightest. the day i wore it wasn't the sunniest, so i will update the post at some point
i wore base coat (essence repair and care) + two coats of polish +top coat (catrice quick dry)
