Braziliant is a really fun, summer colour. It is a bright, but not neon, medium orange laced with gold shimmer. The shimmer is much more noticeable on the nail than it is in the bottle, but is only very noticeable up close. From a distance, the colour looks like a warm, orange which gleams gold in the sun. It applies easily, two coats provided good coverage, but you could still see the nail line when looking closely. If this is a pet-peeve for you, I would recommend three coats but two works well. It isn't a sheer polish. It dries easily, is chip resistant and lasts well. I only suffered from very minor tip wear. This colour is great for summer and is a very unique orange. It would look fabulous on medium, olive and dark skin tones.
