What Are Your Best Nail Polish Colors?

Soft lilac, a toasted terracotta, slate gray, and a plain glossy black for when I don’t want to think about it.

I keep almost buying a deep red. Every one I try either turns brick on me or goes so dark it looks black near the window (see this thread). Berry shades are a similar problem. They look great in the bottle and then bruised on my hands by the next morning. Mostly I keep whatever still looks okay after I’ve been too lazy to redo it.
