Hello!
I'm super sorry for this really late post considering its WINTER where I am and definitely not summer! I do think the blue could work as a year round color though. During the month of May I went into CVS while I was shopping around and saw they had the new Summer 2011 Braziliant line for Essie on display. Unfortunately, there weren't many colors left so I ended up getting (L-R) Meet Me at Sunset, Braziliant, and Smooth Sailing. I had a picture of Braziliant (the middle bottle) but I have no idea what happened to it and until I go back to school I won't be able to swatch it.
Braziliant is sort of shimmery and dusty orange at the same time. It definitely as a slight duochrome finish because of the pink shimmers. It was opaque in 1 coat and achieved full opacity (no visible nail line) at 2 coats. After drying there is not much shine on the nails.
Meet Me at Sunset is a dark tangerine orange color. It has a cream/jelly finish to it. Just like Braziliant it achieved full opacity in 2 coats. Meet Me at Sunset dries super glossy!
Smooth Sailing is a periwinkle blue with silver microshimmer in it. It is probably my favorite from the three I bought. One not too thick not too thin coat was used in the photograph. I do feel like this color is wearable throughout the year (of course it wouldn't be following "trends") but no one would look at you strange for wearing it during winter. It also dries glossy, but not as glossy as Meet Me at Sunset.
Like most Essie nail polishes that I've tried these were easy to apply. The only thing I dislike about Essie polish is the brush which can be slightly stiff sometimes.
