This evening I'll be showing you Dior Bikini, part of Dior's Croisette Collection for Summer 2012. St. Tropez is the other part of the nail polish duo, but it's a re-release - previously created especially for the Dior Boutique opening in St. Tropez and was a Limited Edition. I'll be showing you St. Tropez, which is a light greenish blue creme, sometime soon.
Dior Bikini is a dusty spicy orange creme that applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats. No issues to report. Shown in various lighting with two coats and a top coat.

To see how they compared to some of my other orange-toned colors, I've swatched a few of them for you.
None are dupes as you can see. Chanel Orange Fizz is a bit closer to Dior Bikini than I'd expected. I have both now, but if I didn't, I'd probably only purchase Dior Bikini. It's a smidge darker and I prefer Dior's formula and brush to Chanel's.
What do you think? Is this a summer color you go for?
Dior Bikini and St. Tropez are available in US stores now and through various on-line e-tailers. Retails in the US for $23.00.
