What nail polish, if any, should I wear to a job interview?

I'm having a dilemma trying to decide what nail polish to wear to a job interview. Here are the things I am taking into consideration:

1. The interview is for a government position- accounting tech with DFAS
2. I'm caucasian and I'm not very tan right now. Sheers and light pinks make my hands look ghostly and horrible unless I have my summer color.
3. My nails and hands look really nice with burgundy/wine colors. I typically wear OPI's "Bogota Blackberry" or similar shades.

I'm well aware that I shouldn't walk in wearing loud colors, neons, or anything that could be construed as edgy. As much as I love a rich purple or emerald green, I know they're not interview-appropriate! I'd love a french manicure but I'm not good enough to do a nice one myself and my budget is tight right now so I can't justify going to have my nails done.

So, here's my real question: I have nice nails, with or without polish. Should I not wear polish so that I don't make a bad color choice? Or should I wear polish so I have a more finished, complete look? And if I wear polish, is it okay to wear a wine color?

Thanks in advance for your help! I appreciate it!
