Lisa Barlow’s Pink Sweater Dress on Her Instastories

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City 2021 Instagram Fashion

Lisa Barlow has been coming in hot with the clothes content lately. And this pink sweater dress she featured on her Instastories is just that. HAWT. This is yet another outfit perfect for this time of year where we are stuck in-between summer and fall. But that’s okay because you don’t have to be stuck when it comes to choosing your next outfit. The answer is clear as a summerish fall day: a new pink sweater dress and boots.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Whitney Rose’s Beige Ribbed Tank at Lunch

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 2 Premiere Fashion

Leave it to Whitney Rose to prove to us that you can apparently wear a tank top like this beige ribbed one in Salt Lake City in the dead of winter. Well, that is as long as you’re sitting inside an insulted igloo and discussing some very hot topics like the ladies were doing here on last night’s ep. 

Fashionably,

As much as we love neon nail polishes and color-block nail trends, there’s something about light pink nail polish that keeps us coming back, no matter the season. Sometimes a girl just wants a beautifully soft, pale pink manicure that’s as clean as it is timeless; a true classic. It’s a crisp and elegant hue that makes you feel a little more sophisticated as you go about your day (not to mention that when it chips, it tends to be less noticeable against your exposed nails). But of course, there are about a million pale pink options out there, in every shade from blush to bashful. So how do you find the right one for you? That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re a cotton candy girl, a peachy-pink lover or you’re looking for something with a little more commitment to Sparkle Motion, we’ve rounded up the very best light pink nail polish options out there. We’ve got some long-lasting gel picks, a vegan option and plenty of good-old-fashioned polishes. Prepare to fall in love with something a little lighter—and if you’ve got a wedding on the calendar, now’s the time to stock up, because you’ll never go wrong rocking a pale pink mani to a wedding.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. CVS is a STYLECASTER sponsor, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

essie Nail Polish in Air Spun Fun

If you’re searching for the perfect cotton candy coat, nothing beats essie’s Air Spun Fun shade, which looks exactly like the sugary sweet goodness you snack on at theme parks and fairs. This vegan nail polish will glide on your nails so effortlessly that you’ll feel like a pro manicurist. But today is really your lucky day, because the essie shade is on sale for CVS’s Epic Beauty Event. This deal only lasts through September 18, so you better shop it while it lasts. If you find cosmetics, hair care, wellness, other nail polishes or skin care must-haves to add to your cart, you’ll get $15 in CVS ExtraBucks Rewards when you spend $40 and $10 ExtraBucks Rewards when you spend $30. The entire sale runs through September 25th, so make sure you take advantage of all the other amazing beauty and wellness deals until then.

Essie in Hi Maintenance

This seasoned and beyond iconic nail polish brand has several cult classic colors in rotation, including a handful of pink shades. One of the lesser-known variations is this dusky rose quartz with just a hint of shimmer.

Nails Inc. in Mayfair Lane

The brand’s collection includes this milky pink-nude with a high shine finish and ultra-creamy texture that goes the distance.

Deborah Lippmann in Cake by the Ocean

Lippmann’s Gel Lab Pro range is top-rated for its ability to coat the nails using healthier ingredients without compromising the effects of traditional gel polish. This baby pink creme is as chic as it gets with a full coverage finish for when you want your pink to pop a bit more.

Essie in Mademoiselle

This shade is a cult classic for a reason—it’s basically the perfect understated, blush-toned nail polish. The formula has a jelly-like consistency, which means it’s extra-easy to use; two coats will give you gorgeously shiny, healthy-looking nails that you won’t be able to get enough of.

Buy: Essie in Mademoiselle $7

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Creme de la Creme

If you like your pink a little creamier, Creme de la Creme is for you. An amazing super-pastel pink shade that flows on easily and is totally opaque in two coats, this shade is universally flattering and appropriate for both office and summertime fun.

JINsoon Nail Lacquer in Nostalgia

If baby pinks aren’t quite in your wheelhouse, relax: beige-toned pinks are back, and they’re totally sophisticated. Nostalgia is the best dusty rose, not-quite-pink that we’ve ever seen, and the superlative JINsoon formula means that you’ll get a full week’s wear out of this manicure without any chips whatsoever. Score.

Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Nail Enamel in Beginner’s Luck

Revlon has really stepped up their nail game over the last few years, and Beginner’s Luck is basically our dream polish: sheer yet shimmery, and the perfect shade of pointe shoe pink. And the best part? You won’t need a UV lamp to cure this gel-like formula; it’s semi-opaque in two coats and lasts a full ten days once dry.

Buy: Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Longwear Nail Polish $6.80

Essie in Ballet Slippers

Another cult favorite pale pink, Ballet Slippers is slightly more opaque and cream-colored than Mademoiselle, but it’s still a total classic of the genre. A blush-toned white, this shade achieves full opacity after two or three coats and allows just a hint of your nail’s natural white to peek through. Simple, clean, elegant; a perfect shade for bridal manicures.

OPI Soft Shades Collection in Rosy Future

This shimmering pink shade is as shiny as it is gorgeous. Sheer yet pigmented with a slightly purple shine, this polish catches the light—and our attention—in all the right ways. Pro tip: Make sure you don’t forget a topcoat with this shade; you really need it to achieve the shimmer effect!

Dior Vernis Gel Shine and Long Wear Nail Lacquer in Tra-La-La

A cool-toned cotton candy pink, Tra-La-La is the perfect way to embrace your inner Barbie without looking like you’ve just escaped from the Dreamhouse. The slightly sheer color and glassy shine (even without a top coat) means this Dior shade is forever ranking amongst our favorites.

Deborah Lippmann in Dream a Little Dream of Me

We love an unusual pink, and this peachy-pink shade contains a sprinkling of pale blue micro glitter to liven up your nails. Sheer and gorgeous, it also makes a perfect base for a modern French manicure that totally doesn’t suck. And because it’s so sheer, you can also use it as a spangly topcoat for your peach and coral polishes. Who doesn’t love a multi-tasker?

I’m not trying to brag too much here, but I’m pretty certain that I have one of the coolest, most enviable jobs around. Reason being? I scour the internet for the best shopping deals and coolest trends every day, and get to test out so many amazing new clothing pieces, beauty products, and home goods. I’ve been a shopping writer and editor for a few years now, and have developed a knack for determining which products are worth every penny, and which ones are better left in the virtual cart. 

This month is all about stepping into the fall comfortably. Stores like Target are beginning to roll out their fall home lines and sites are seeing increased search interest in moisturizing and clarifying products (makes sense, given that temps are sadly going to plummet and the air is about to dry). Amazon’s Movers & Shakers page—a section that shows what items are rising in popularity—is filled to the brim with soothing lotions and oils. Google is being inundated with “fall fashion” inquiries and people on Pinterest are starting to search for pumpkin recipes and candles once more. 

My shopping carts fit the bill for these fall trends perfectly. I’m shopping for nourishing face masks, sleek platform loafers, and cozy throw blankets to start my cold weather months off the right way. Check out the eight essentials I’ll be buying this September below:

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo

I don’t know what it is about spending so much time indoors, but ever since the pandemic began, my scalp has been a mess. I’ve experienced more dandruff and dryness these past two years than I have collectively my entire life. My one saving grace? This simple clarifying shampoo. It removes icky product build-up from dry shampoos and conditioners without stripping my hair of its natural oils. For best results, I swap this product with my typical purple shampoo once or twice a week.

Sam Edelman Laurs Platform Loafer 

I’m of the belief that if you have a good pair of loafers, you can wear them across every season. I love the androgynous vibe of the shoes. They’re punk and sexy at the same time. Unfortunately, most quality pairs are a few hundred dollars. That’s why, when I found these Sam Edelman ones, I squealed out loud with glee. The Olivia Rodrigo-esque shoes platforms come in black, tan, or green and pair them with practically every dress or pair of pants you’ve got hanging in your closet.

Cable Knit Chenille Throw Blanket

There is no problem that curling into a cozy throw blanket can’t solve. This is why at the beginning of every fall season, I gift myself a new one. I love the look of all things cable knit. The sophisticated design makes tops and accessories like this blanket, which is just $25, look so much more expensive than they are.

Nest Pumpkin Chai Candle

It’s time for society to pass the point of calling everything pumpkin scented or flavored basic. Let’s all just agree that pumpkin anything is delicious and should be celebrated, not mocked. This September, I’m going all in on candles. Nest’s Pumpkin Chai candle is everything I want to cover my space. The spice scent is decadent without being overwhelming. Plus, the candle itself is a warm orange. You can’t find a better fall candle than this.

Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer

I’m fairly certain that this clever coffee invention was made for me. It ensures that slow sippers (moi) won’t ever have to deal with lukewarm drinks ever again. To use it, all you have to do is flip the switch on, and the base will warm your cup’s bottom and keep the liquids inside nice and hot. I’ll be keeping this accessory on my WFH desk at all times.

Free People Picnic Sweater Romper

This fall, I don’t want to wear anything that requires more than a little effort to put on. Jeans? Absolutely not. A button-up shirt? You’ve got to be kidding. Heels? Please, don’t make me laugh. But this sweater romper? Sign me tf up. It’s like wearing a stylish and socially acceptable set of onesie pajamas. I plan to keep it on at home during work and lounge time, then dress it up when I go out with tights and combat boots. It’s such a simple look, but those are the best ones to style again and again.

PÜR 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer 

There are very few people I trust with makeup advice. One of them is Rachel Nussbaum, InStyle’s beauty writer. She knows everything there is to know about the ingredients that comprise popular foundations, hairsprays, etc. Her vast knowledge comes with a lot of heartbreak. She often tells me (and her readers) of the harmful irritants that are too-often included in name brand products, so when there’s a brand she approves of, I take note. Rachel told me that Pur is on her list of A-Okay concealers, so I’m hopping on this 4-in-1 color corrector faster than a kid on a trampoline. It comes in 16 shades, costs under $25, and is free from the nastiness of phthalates, aluminum, and talc.

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask

I’m a writer living in New York. Translation: I don’t have an income that gives me the means to spend hefty amounts of cash on skincare (nor do I want to). Spending close to $50 on a face mask would physically and emotionally pain me if I didn’t already know and love this one so much. I’ve been using Summer Fridays’ Jet Lag Mask for years. It saved my skin when I was on Accutane, and continues to be my secret to non-greasy hydration. I’d say I have to stock up on it about every five months, and this September is one of them. I’ll be using it to prevent cracked winter skin, and before date nights or brunches to give me a Hailey Bieber-esque glow.
