malandra, malvada


Explanation:
Depending on the context 'malandra' is used for children or when someone plays a trick as a joke, whereas 'malvada' is quite strong as it has a negative connotation. Personally, I wouldn't use 'naughty' negatively.

safada, perversa, danadinha, sem-vergonha


Explanation:
Na maioria das vezes vi naughty empregada com uma conotação claramente sexual. Das sugestões acima, safada é a mias neutra, danadinha a mais delicada e sem-vergonha a politicamente menos correta. Aparece em propagandas de sex shops na frase:

- Feeling naughty?
