Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a nice weekend, and if you celebrated, a very Happy Easter!

Tangerine is the color of spring, so I decided to jump in head first with one of the prettiest colors I've seen - Essie's Braziliant, from the Braziliant Collection in Summer 2011.   This is an extremely rich and bright orange polish with a slight shimmer.  The shimmer looks pink in some light, and almost bluish in others.  It's not over the top shimmer, just a slight little pick me up. 

The orange itself is so bright, it looks like it's lit up.  It was very hard to capture on film.

Beautiful for spring and summer - this one is a keeper!

This is two coats with one coat of top coat.  The consistency is easy to use, just thick enough to achieve a nice layer without being streaky.  This will be a go-to for me this summer, for sure.
