I hereby nominate PrincessTracy as the TeamSugar guru of dark red nail polish. For this Beauty Mark It challenge, she scoured the Web to find 25 different options, from drugstore bargains to luxe lacquers. (Did you know that Joan Rivers has her own nail polish line?)
Of course, there were lots of other great suggestions. After reading Daydreamer's opinion of OPI St. Petersburgundy, I'm adding that color to my shopping list. It seems like a rich, creamy color that would look amazing on short, square nails. Have a look at everyone's favorites here, and if you have your own suggestions, share 'em in the comments!

I love I'm not really a waitress by OPI.
1I know Chanel's Vamp was discontinued, but wasn't it brought back? If so, it should definitely be on this list.
2The best color ever in Red is OPI Bogota Blackberry

OPI considers it a burgundy but it shines dark red

I love the St. Petersburgundy lipstick and nailpolish set.
4Haha, thanks Bella.
5I love these bookmarks! Esp. the last 3
I really need to go out & buy some new
red nail polish!
6Vamp is still around, yes! Or at least it was when I last looked at the Chanel counter.
7I love Revlon's Vixen--it's so awesome!
8I'm in love...
9Hebrew Hunny, me too..."I'm Not Really A Waitress" is my all-time favorite nail polish color. It's my go-to shade.
10I love red nail polish, its my favorite color. This one looks really good, but I also agree with Hebrew Hunny and emalove "I'm Not Really A Waitress" is a beautiful color.
11just got st. petersburgandy on my toes- looks great. vamp is a great color but chanel nailpolish is horrible quality
12St petersburgandy looks gorgeous! I have always heard great things about I'm Not Really a Waitress.
13I wear I'm Not Really a Waitress a LOT! I love that red, and lots of OPI's other reds!!! I love their names just as much as their colors too, lol.
14wow nice colors perfect for the season
15i'm wearing a deep red polish right now. it's new for me and i'm really liking it. i tried sephora's L11 but it took me a few coats to get it dark. i should try opi's "i'm not a waitress" since you all seem to love it
16I agree Chanel's VAMP is beautiful and the quality of the polish is fi8rst rate.
17bella, yep I actually did know Joan Rivers had a cosmetics line. I saw it at Ulta last Spring.
18i love everything deborah lippman and "lady is a tramp" is amazing. I'm a fair girl and this looks dynamite with my skin.
19Love the OPI Red-Y to Help. Unfortunately it is a limited edition.

20OPI's "I'm Not Really a Waitress" is my go-to-shade for the holidays! So pretty and just the right amount of shimmer.
21I'm not buying anymore nail polish until I make sure it's free of this chemical called phtalates. I just learned that a lot of beauty companies put this chemical in their nail polish, and apparently the stuff is really bad for you and can cause birth defects, etc. if you wanna read up on this or any beauty product's safety, go to Skin Deep, cosmeticsdatabase.com. some freaky stuff you'll learn there. Since the FDA isn't required to test beauty products first, people that make cosmetics can put just about anything into their products, and they do. I'm just now learning this and feel compelled to spread the word. some of the best top designer brands can be some of the most questionable.
22I can't believe nobody has mentioned OPI's Chick Flick Cherry. It's a must-have for the holiday season!
23I love them all! Think you can do one for deep red lips, like on the Fall 2007 Gucci runway? There's that amazing photo of a blonde model (Stam?) with Veronica Lake waves and really rich, deep red lips that I love, but I haven't found any shades dark enough!
24Found it! The model's name is Lindsey Ellington, and she's here: http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2007RTW/GUCCI/BACKSTAGE/00...
25I live in St Petersburg (FL) and have wanted to try the polish b/c of the name - now I know I must try it!
26I just had a pedicure last week and I don't remember the name of the deep red polish I have on, but I love it!!!! That OPI Russian Collection Red is gorgeous!!!
27I got a mani pedi this morning and got st petersburgundy I love it!!
28I also love "I'm not really a waitress" by OPI and I can't wait to try "St. Petersburgundy". I'm obssessed with OPI!!!
29I've been wearing rich red polish for years. My fav shades are various ones by Essie. I tend to go for creme shades rather than pearlized or metallic. It looks more classic.
30I have 3 favorite Red Colors:
1 OPI Rockette Red (Which is from Hol 06 but is still available)
2 OPI Kennebunk-port
3 Essie Bordeaux (Altho it maybe more of a Burgundy Red )
31ive been living in st petersburgandy! i love it so much!
32So festive!
