What's your go to pinky nude nail colour?

Looking for something quite neutral and understated for every day to make me feel a bit more put together but everything I've tried so far is too nude so I look like I have corpse hands, or too pink so it's more of a brighter baby pink.

Any suggestions? Something that doesn't chip easily would also be amazing!

Love that shade @justponderingg have added it to my wish list. Really pale nudes make me look like a corpse. At the moment I’m wearing Essie Eternal Optimist which works well wether I’m pale or a bit (fake) tanned.

Thanks to those of you who recommended Maybelline Rose Poudre, it's a perfect nude for me. Now to see how it wears. I use my hands a lot and I'm not particularly careful with my nails. I usually get chips within 24 hours.

Dior nail glow, the only nail polish I buy on repeat

Another fan of dior nail glow, for a polished natural look.

@Longpinknails Porchcester square is possibly my favourite nail colour. But I found rimmel rain rain go away to be very very similar and it seems to last a bit longer and is only £2.99

OPI Passion or Essie Mademoiselle

It sounds as if I am a bit like you OP.
V pale, red undertones in my skin, flush easily.
I want a colour that looks "done" but not "notice me" Has to be professional.

Dior Nail Glow is lovely, for a "clear nail polish but better" look.
Essie Sugar Daddy is v similar.

Essie Ballet Slippers...it's "creamier" than the above 2, and I thought I'd love it. But, it streaks going on, hard to get it to land smoothly.
Essie Muchi Muchi (think that's the name) is a definite pink, without being in-your-face.

Rose Poudre- I bought it (I think it was after a reccomendation here). Again, I thought I loved it, but had to remove after 2 days. Too distracting .

Dior Nail Glow and Sugar Daddy are the only 2 I've re-bought.

Essie vanity fair - like ballet slippers but slightly pinker and not as streaky
