894 Mother Of Pearl gives you a soft silver and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Silver particles settle in the bottle, so roll it before the first coat. DND lists it as hit the mother lode of classic sophistication in this cool, iridescent pale platinum shade inspired by gems from the sea.
What you get in the bottle
- Two thin coats is usually enough: the pigment load in DND 894 Mother Of Pearl is high, which keeps the set thin and cuts down on lifting.
- Built for the 3-step system: base gel, gel colour, top coat, each cured under an LED lamp, gives about three weeks of wear.
- The client takes the shade home: the matching lacquer air-dries, so touch-ups between appointments need no lamp.
- Depth of range: with more than 1,200 shades DND lets a salon standardise on one system without running out of colour.

Picking the right option on this page
On this page you are choosing between DND 894 Mother Of Pearl in different formats. Gel Polish & Lacquer is the matched gel and lacquer pair, so the client can take the polish home in the same shade. Gel Polish Only is the gel bottle on its own, for salons that only run gel services. Lacquer Only is the air-dry lacquer on its own, no lamp needed. Gel & Lacquer + Base Top is the duo bundled with a base and top coat, useful when you are opening a new station. Pick by the services you actually sell. A gel-only salon has no use for the lacquer half of DND 894 Mother Of Pearl, and a shop that offers dip in the same shade saves a colour match by taking the combined option.
How to take it off
DND 894 Mother Of Pearl is a soak-off gel, so nothing here needs to be drilled off. Break the seal by filing through the top coat until the shine is gone, then wrap each nail in an acetone-soaked pad and leave it long enough for the layers to lift on their own. Ease the softened gel off with a wooden pusher. If it resists, re-wrap rather than scrape, because scraping is what thins the plate and causes the next set to lift.
DND 894 Mother Of Pearl is stocked alongside the full DND gel and lacquer wall, the whole gel and lacquer category and DND starter sets.
