Work Appropriate Nail Polish

I know there's some controversy surrounding what nail polish colors are appropriate for work.  In my view, any color goes when it comes to your toes, even if you wear open toed shoes to work.  As for your hands, subtle and classic is the way to go.  I try to get a manicure once a week (it's a wonderful break from a hectic day at work).  If you work near Grand Central, the best place to go is Spa Butterfly.  If you go to Spa Butterfly though, be careful what you unload on your manicurist because chances are, the girl (or guy) sitting next to you works at your office.  Here are my favorite work appropriate nail polish colors:

Mademoiselle: Very sheer pink color that can be worn on its own or as the base coat to a French manicure.

Guchi Muchi Puchi: My current favorite (in fact, I'm wearing this shade as I type).  It's less sheer than Mademoiselle but not overwhelming pink.

 Fishnet Stockings: The only time I recommend wearing fishnet stockings to work is on your finger tips.  The perfect classic red.

 Wicked: It's lighter/more red than it looks in this picture.  A sophisticated dark red.  Just be sure not to chip your nails because it's very noticeable with this color.

I tend to wear Essie because they seem to have more options, but I'm sure there are some wonderful O.P.I., Chanel, Sally Hanson etc. colors.  If you've got a favorite, share it in the comments section!
