Not a topper pearl, but a polish that can be worn on its own and makes my nails look like they are white pearls. Satin-y glazed look, not overly sparkly.
I have eyeballed Mooncat's Pearl Clutcher, but it looks like it may be more sparkly than satin-y? I also saw bkl's Maman in the Frankenstein part 1 release, and may try to get one if they bring it back next month. If any of you have that one, what do you think of it?
Any other suggestions? I've seen cracked's pearl line recommended, but they don't seem to have a white in the mix.

I really like World is My Pearl from huella
I don’t actually have it, but I have always had my eye on cirque sylph

Spider Glass by Haunted Polish. I liked it so much I got a backup. Very satin and pearls effect, not just a frosty white. Also, it has just a touch of warmth.
Spider Glass by Haunted!! It’s actually on sale rn
The perfect version of this color is one of my white whale polishes so I will be camping out in this post and spending too much money afterwards.
OPI Kyoto Pearl is a white pearl finish.
I added what a pearl wants from KB in my cart today but I think it’s too sparkly for what you want
Cracked had one in PPU called Refraction. They are bringing it back for rewind in July. Maman will definitely be back at the end of next month. Here’s some past discussions here on comparisons.

I have Pearl Clutcher and it’s very sparkly with direct light but pearlescent with indirect lighting. I love the formula and it is long wearing. I’m pleased with it.
Circque Colors’ Mother of Pearl maybe? It was a bit too cool-toned for me so I gifted it to a friend and got South Sea Pearl instead, which is more of a champagne pearl (I’m obsessed). They’re fine particle magnetics too but still stunning without any magnetization
To be fair: I’d say they’re maybe mid-fine particle, finer than most of my other magnetics but not BKL fine
Clionadh also has some I am waiting to appear in nailand
Boneyard, spirit, Venus, lucidum, lu
Cirque Sylph is my go-to a pearly white! It looks off-white in this photo, but I think it’s a lot whiter in person. I think I did 2 coats. If you want it to be brighter, you can layer it more or throw a white creme underneath.

Does anyone have swatches of the haunted to compare to a BKL or MC or cracked? Thanks!
OPI Kyotol Pearl and Revlon Pure Pearl. It’s a pretty standard finish for the larger brands, which might be easier to access
Mooncat [Pearlclutcher](https://www.mooncat.com/products/pearl-clutcher?tw_source=google&tw_adid=712086640315&tw_campaign=21667416406&tw_kwdid=pla-293946777986&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21667416406&gclid=CjwKCAjwspPOBhB9EiwATFbi5NGJDEwM_Vr2HyaJ83kcdvBse6MooHsgSHBTqXWmjRyD_rxJl8VTRhoC-dQQAvD_BwE).
Pictures don’t do it justice. You think it’s like all the others then indoor lighting or sunlight hit it and it dazzles.
