What photo editing software are you using?
Photoshop CC
Before using Photoshop, import it into Lightroom and adjust the white balance.
Using Adobe Raw in CC to Adjst the white balance
Very first thing you should adjust your white balance while shooting, as I heard, generally nikon dslr gives more yellow tint, but you can adjust - Kelvin settings it would gives very perfect result, shift your kelvin near to more blue means less nos, like - 4500, or less and check the result.
Tnx

Im using auto white balance - Shooting with Canon, and not nikon - I will try to adjust the white balance more to the blue side in photoshop
I like your edit.
Haha I actually got opposite problem, I also shoot Canon and I got too aggresive red in skin tones, would preffer got it more yellow, yet when I add some warmth to the picture I got yellow everywhere :P To me skin tones on your photo look ok to me :) Maybe slightly yellow but it looks like a lot of dodge/burn is used on the photo, do you have it on Luminosity layer?
The skintone is more reddish out of the camera, but when im retouching, im gonna get yellowish skintone, haha dont know why :P No im DBing in 50% gray layer with black/white brush on :P
I would recommend setting the white balance on your camera using the Expo Disk from ExpoImaging (same company that developed the Rogue Flashbender). You get perfect WB. However, it is only useful in controlled environments, where you're not running and gunning (even though recalibration doesn't take long). But for portraits on location, it's perfect.
Give it a shot ($50 on Amazon).
You can try this (not sure if will work fine):
Try to adjust white balance in camera raw as much as possible and then try to select only her face and hands and goin into "tone and saturation", select only the yellow channel or the main one and try to change tone by some steps (not much, she will look like an alien).
Tell me if it works.
