"Onna" used by itself is a bit of a degrading term for "Onna no ko" or "Onna no hito". When obviously not meant to be degrading, it sounds childish or robotic.
"Onna kirei na" means "Women are pretty".
I have found I have to tell my Japanese friends to correct me, or else they will just nod and giggle when I butcher the language. It isn't in their nature to correct people's Japanese.
