My wife collects nail polishes. I was looking at a couple of her favorite brands for a stocking stuffer and when I was browsing the goofy British related names of the Butter London brand, I came across British Racing Green.
Hope she likes it. 
Maybe I can get her to paint her nails Aston Martin colors.
Hell, when I wanted a flashy red (back in the 80s, before nails were anything but shades of red) for a car model, I'd hit a nail polish rack. Add some thinner and shoot it through the airbrush and bam! Sweet finish. 8)
Are those Jag colours?

I guess this is where they got the idea:
You may now laugh but I go to Ulta to look at the nail polish colors when I a looking to paint a hot rod.
Every freakin shade on the plant

Utah even has a special hairdoo, the Utah Claw.

I go into Ulta all the time with my wife. I am glad I do too, because I know what she likes and I know what to buy her for presents. 
What do the ladies of GRM think?
Years ago I heard of a show-car guy buying nail polish in bulk to paint his car, and that it won best finish in multiple shows. Don't remember the details or know if it was true.

I can't imagine what that cost.. considering how little polish you get in a bottle and how much they charge for it.
From what I have seen though.. isn't the stuff a bit fragile? It certainly comes off easily enough

I think he is saying its not a dark enough green- they have too much yellow in the mix.
I agree- proper BRG is much darker than that.

A true GRM girl would say, "Long nails get in the way of wrenching."
I once test drove a Lotus Elsie that was BRG with Oxblood leather interior and I am fairly convinced that it was the best color combination that I've ever seen on that car.
