I’ve always wanted to rock a classic red nail but olive skin undertones make it a challenge. Nothing feels quite right. The only red I have actually committed to wearing is Emily de Molly Fiery Attraction.
Which of these, if any, would you suggest I keep?
Pinky to thumb: Cirque Wine Jelly (contaminated with some orange shimmer during top coat, oops), Cirque Lucky Jelly, Cracked Calabrian Pepper, Cirque Strawberry Fields, Cracked 23 Flavors.
Open to other suggestions too!
Reds I have tried and not liked: OPI Big apple red, Malaga Wine, I’m not really a waitress. Cracked Peep Toe, Down with Authority, My Blood Aches.

I like your pinky and middle finger… middle finger feels more like a red-red though if that’s what you’re looking for.
On you I’m jiving with the pinky and the middle finger!!
I think the pointer finger color suits your complexion really well.
I think the Calabrian Pepper looks like such a classic red on you! All of them are good honestly! Nice to see lucky jelly swatches on another olive hand
Middle or pinky finger with a slight preference for middle.
I like the middle and ring finger best!
Yes.
Pinky is *gorgeous* on you. Agree with the others that if you want a classic red, middle is the best!
Pinky or middle finger but I love the pinky colour personally
True Christmas classic: ring finger.
More mature Christmas classic: middle finger
Modern Christmas classic: index finger (my personal fave! Although it does bring out some pink in your skin)
Middle is the best classic red.
Sparkly pinky is soooooo cute for the holidays!
Adding to the Calabrian chorus!
Pinkie
IMO the middle looks best, and the pinky also looks good (it’s just not as red!)
Pinky and thumb are my favorites on you, but I honestly think they all work
I feel like the darkest one suits you best! (Pinky finger that is.) The middle finger is second place for me.
I like the middle finger and the thumb.
Love the one on your index and middle! I think those look great with your skin.
Yes
My gut says ring finger but man! That’s a hard one.
Stick with the skittle! It’s gorgeous
Index or thumb
Middle finger, the Cracked Calabrian Pepper.
It’s like choosing a favorite star in the sky- I can’t do it 🥹

I like the index but I lean towards brighter colors. This skittle looks really nice too
I personally like your thumb 👍🏼 and index ☝🏼 finger
Guys the index finger looks great if you look at it alone
I think the skittle looks best! ❤️ I’m not sure you can count it as classic, though. 😅 I think the ring finger might be the best classic Christmas red, but I really like the middle.
