Nailpolish Help

I'm looking for a white/light beige semi-sheer polish that is not so sheer that it looks clear. I want it to be obvious that I'm wearing it, but not a stark white.

Any suggestions?

ETA: I bought Essie's 'Baby's Breath' yesterday, but its TOO white

I just bought an Essie one called Power Lunch that is a sheer beigey color.
It looks pink in the bottle, but it didn't come on that way!

I am wearing Essie Jazz right now and it is beige. Very much like skin tone (medium complexion) I love it!

I like Babys Breath or Ballet Slippers by Essie.

Oh, I see you already tried Babys Breath. Madenuasel is another choise although it's very sheer. I like to wear it on top of some other whiter color. It might work for you too.

Like Linen by Essie is a light/beige color. I am wearing It's Delicate now and it's pretty but more pink and a little frosty. Like Linen is more beige but sheer and really pretty.

Marshmallow and Waltz - both by Essie - I love wearing them together but you can wear them separate. Personally, I feel that they are Too light separate - together is has a sheer white look - but definitely not the white-out look!

Essie - Delicacy, Pachencko's Pale, Mademoiselle, Marshmellow (I layer the last 3 together sometimes...Marshmellow, then the Pale, then the Mdm. - it's a light french manicure look).
