The back story - I used to have a red violin case. I like the colour red, a lot. I also like the colour pink, but having a red violin case meant I couldn't wear pink if I would be carrying my violin (horrendous clash, hurt the eyes), which was most of the time. Two years ago, I needed a better case, and bought a black Gewa. It is a wonderful case (anyone who's looking at buying a violin case, I highly recommend this!) and even better, it doesn't clash. Other benefits include 2 shoulder straps, very light, very strong, and no place for music (it's shaped, not oblong). At first I missed the music carrier, but I used to overload my case with music, which was not good for the case or for my shoulders or back.
I have many many shades of red nail polish. Many - meaning 5 that I just found but I think there might be more hiding somewhere. Now that my wardrobe is getting used to the idea of pink (after 2 years - it's hard to change), I decided to go pink on the nails. This colour is Rimmel's Cranberry Zest, and it claims to have a fruity smell when dried. Maybe - for a couple of hours. I quite like having cranberry-coloured nails. Having been a red-wearer for years, though, I discovered my accessories are woefully lacking in the pink department. This will have to be rectified, and soon.
