The illusion colors are basically dormant colors so it's the illusion color base coat that cures a pretty dull/silverish color and then you can basically apply any level of clear (flat/semi/high gloss etc.) that will produce different finishes. Some of the illusions have the metallic flake in them like this Lite Blue but others are just a solid tone like the Illusion Purple.

Candies are a little different because the color coat is actually the second coat. They're usually applied over a chrome powder, real chrome or a silver base coat. Candies are basically transparent colors so whatever is underneath will show through which is why it's typically over a chrome or silver base coat.
