Blue undertones are what makes rosy red different from orangy red. Rosy red is generally good for most people (I think), and orangy red only looks good on a few people. Think of a deep red rose; probably that has blue undertones. And, under flourescent lights (like in most women's restrooms and dressing rooms) blue undertones make scars/blemishes/etc. stand out! That's why anything you see under those lights you should not believe!
I agree totally with the more natural color nails, and then the 'application' of the polish doesn't matter quite so much.
I am too old for pinkish lipstick; staying with my brownish red ones. However, Connie Chung reportedly said that you should choose your lipstick to be a color close to the color of your tongue, and presumably that would be a good one for you. I'm not sure about that in terms of overall fashion advice, because she talks a lot so a big difference in tongue/lip color might matter more to her.
That about exhausts my 'girlie' knowledge...I'm glad your toes are still red! Any shade will do!
