Answer 5

it's a very mature color.

Answer 7

to me it just looks classy and professional. during the summer or when i'm on holidays i love wearing bright neon colors but for when i'm working and going to school i just stick with classic red.

Answer 8

I think it's because red is considered a classic/classy color.  Think back to old movies, women with red nails and red lips...

However, I used to have a teacher who jokingly said "only hoochies wear red nail polish!"  I guess it's just a matter of opinion!  Ha ha ha!
