Can anyone recommend a sheer, candy floss pink nail polish please?

I very, very rarely wear nail polish, but want to get into the habit. I'm looking for a nail polish that is candy floss pink, with cool blueish undertones, quite pigmented, but sheer rather than opaque. Does such a thing even exist?
Essie Ballet Slippers isn't pinky enough for my liking and others I've looked at are either too opaque or too warm/peachy. In my minds eye I see a polish that adds gloss and a wash of strong pink, but still shows the natural nail through, and only needs one coat. I want to look groomed, but fairly natural - I'm probably wishing for too much, but hoping nail experts here might know of something.

Hi @User1055 - I use one coat of Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine in 210 Ethereal to get a lovely sheer, natural pink. It's cheap so might be worth a go.

Maybeline barely sheer is lovely

Thank you everyone. Some good ideas to have a look at when I go into the nearby town next week.

I second Dior Nail Glow. It makes the whites whiter and the pink nail bed pinker. Basically healthy looking nails with a natural pink glow. Lovely!

Nailberry in Candy Floss

If that is too opaque, try Nailberry Acai Nail Elixir which is a sheer tinted treatment and is more pinky than it looks in the bottle, it makes my nails look glossy and groomed. It might be too pale for your requirements though.

I have a cool skintone and peachy colours make my nails look grubby, I wanted to love Dior nail glow but it turns my nailbeds a lurid pink.

What about Essie Michu Muchi?

Ballet slippers was going be my first suggestion. But they have another version - have you tried Ballet Sneakers?

These are all really pretty light pinks

I would look at Rimmel 60 Seconds. Loads of pink shades and you could use just one coat for a sheer look. I'm currently wearing Ethereal, not quite pink enough for you but I love it
