Semi Gloss Over Pearl Paint?

About a year or so ago, I painted my bathroom with BM Pearl Paint...liked the finish but not the color. So I'm repainting a different color in semi gloss. I realize if you paint semi gloss over flat, you should prime, but these are like finishes. Plus, since the last time I painted was so recent, do I have to sand the walls or can I just start painting?

Another question pertaining to this; I have a gallon of the semi gloss and also 1/2 gallon of flat paint (same color). If I mix the flat w/the semi gloss, will the paint be as durable (my thoughts are that I would end up with the pearl finish or similar). I realize I could just go purchase the pearl paint, but these are paints I already have on hand & will save some $$$. Thanks.
