Looking for advice for the best colors for me and things to ask when I go in for my first set of acrylics

Hello I have typical pale Irish skin with a cool tone. I've been envisioning the manicure that I want. I want a traditional French manicure except with a transparent pink base. On my Pinterest board I've noticed I tend to gravitate towards neutral tones like Dusty Rose. I really hate baby pinks or anything that is too pink and tend to like the darker pink shades if that makes sense but I've always heard dusty rose is for warm toned skin so I was wondering if anyone could send me pictures of what might look good on me when I say that I'm pale I'm not like redhead pale but I'm pretty white. Also I'm not wanting them ridiculously long like maybe an inch from cuticle to tip at the very longest. I've noticed I gravitate towards round and oval shapes. Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
