Bringing it back - I used to wear red all the time - OPI names are the best! Either Affair in Red Square or I Am Not a Waitress...
Pictures aren't the greatest (and a little older) but it was always red!! Now, I just have natural, bitten to the quick nailsPainted toes, though.
There is a woman who lives somewhere not far away; she drives a cherry red rice burner with custom plates... I wont share the plate "number" but I can only guess that she owns a sex toy shop based on the plates...
In anycase, she always keeps her window open just a crack, and I always recognize her first by the fingers she always has peeping out of the top of the drivers side window, with their rather distinctive cherry red nail job
Her windows are tinted, but one of those times I noticed the silhouette of David Bowie hair before I recognized her peeping fingers.
Then I decided it's best if I take a pic specifically for this thread, so tea mug it is again.)
That's a pretty color, seela.
I haven't had polish on for a few days now. Maybe I will pick a color today.
I made the grandma comment. I just remember my grandma wearing this shade:
Meek's color is adorable and summery and fresh.
I googled mauve and both the above color and this one came up. I do like this shade better than the above one...
I 'd think of the first one as brick or terracotta and the second as mushroom perhaps?
Also, for anyone who likes a colour but feels not right about flaunting it on their hands....that's where toenails come in.
f^_^; I like all of these colors. I don't think they are grandmotherly, I think they tend to have an elegant look. My friend has said that I look like a grandma sometimes, though.
My grandma was the best! 
Suggestion.....have you tried the lighter colours over a flat white?
