Need a translucent pale pink polish

[ Edited ]

I want to try to do a rose quartz nail and I need a pale translucent pink.  To save me some time can any of you nail experts give me some suggestions?  Prefer OPI but doesnt have to be...

 

Thanks so much!

Essie Sugar Daddy is my favorite, but you may want something with less red, like Mademoiselle, Rock Candy, or Vanity Fairest. Vanity Fairest can be a little streaky, but I love both Sugar Daddy and Mademoiselle.

 

Here's a blog post (not mine) comparing several translucent pink shade by Essie: http://www.essieenvy.com/2016/09/essie-sheer-pink-comparison.html.

I like the look, don't get me wrong. Stone or mineral nails could be a cool look.

 

But at the same time this picture sort of reminds me of those white spots people get on their nails when they have a calcium deficiency.

Oh, you might also want to check out Cirque Colors. They had several nail art kits dedicated to these looks. One was for a Rose Quartz look:

Here's a link to their YouTube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj0J0Ixz25k&feature=emb_title

 

They also had a Jade kit:

Sally Hansen Blush Against The World.  It looks dark in the bottle but it is translucent.

Here is a photo. I am wearing it now (this isn't my hand) because I wanted the ombre look to my nails but didn't want a new full set so I went with this.  Mind looks a little lighter than this.  This could be 2 coats which is what I have or it could be 3 for a little darker look.
