nail polish removal help (CJ Sinead / G9) [Solved]

This is probably a stupid, easy issue that my newbie brain just isn't connecting, but.... Sinead (G9) comes with pink nails. I can change them to a different color, but I can't just make them natural looking. I looked under the surfaces tab and it says it has the base G9 coloring... which, maybe it does, but it doesn't match HER coloring, so they look painted. Help?
TIA

I don't have her.
According to the file list, there is a material "CJ Sinead Nails Natural".
Is that applied and still come out colored?
Yeah, I tried that. Nearest I can tell, if you put one of the other colors on, it resets it to the pink looking one that it loads with. I think the problem (maybe?) is it relies on the base file for G9, but her coloration is lighter, so it looks unnatural. It wouldn't matter if I was using her for someone who would ever in a million years paint her nails, but...
And this is in render - not just preview?
And if you look in the surface tab for the nails, are there then any textures with significant pink (more than skin), or pink color values (beside SSS).
In render too, yes. Out of curiosity I did a spec compare with the Kat figure that comes with DS, and they were the same. Did a render of the two side by side, and my first guess was right. While they look natural with Kat, this character's lighter skin made them look painted.
On a lark I tried hunting down nail image files from a different lighter skinned character and swapped them in... Problem solved. So if anyone runs into this at some point with the same problem... Yarrow's nails look great on her. :)
