I would not normally spend $14 on a nail polish, but this went on sale for $9 at Ulta so I splurged. Yummy Mummy looked very different in store than on my nails. I expected more of a gray-taupe effect. It is more of a peachy beige. The shimmer is VERY subtle but gives it a nice dimension. I typically start off with one coat (with base and topcoat). This usually lasts 2 days before needing a touchup. Then it requires a couple more touchups during the week. In staying power, I find this similar to OPI. I think it's kind of ironic that this shade is so trendy. It reminds me of a color called Cameo Whisper or Cameo Creme by Sally Hansen that was around in the 1980s. My friends and I called it Mom Nails because it was THE color that you'd see on "mom hands" in TV ads and commercials where they're mopping, doing laundry, etc. Totally beige. So here I am 20 30 years later paying $9 for Sally Hansen Mom Nails....Anyway, this is a nice color for anyone needing a sophisticated, classy day polish .

I got this in Christmas of 2012, per my request for a nude nail polish. I have very fair skin, and this polish goes on a shimmery tan to me. I love how it matches with most every outfit, and isn't too overstated. The application is a bit streaky, it took me a good two coats to get good coverage. Besides that, the packaging is unique, and I will most likely repurchase this, alothough it was a bit expensive. ($15)

I love this colour! I love Butter London alltogether for the 3 free-system and producing without animal testing. I have about 10 polishes now but this is one of my favourites. It looks clean, nude, groomed, elegant. Interesting about this colour is that the result differs with the layers you put on. One layer gives a nice cold pinkish finish. Two layers make it more grey-brown. Perfect consistency, also with only one layer the result is perfect, even without a top coat. Would highly recommend!

I LOVE this polish. I am a nail polish fanatic and this is my first Butter London shade. YM is the perfect neutral color that will work for any season. The color is hard to explain as it looks different in every light. Sometimes I want to call it a grey, sometimes brown, and even sometimes a mauve-y purple. It has a tiny bit of shimmer in it which I adore. I don't care for a lot of sparkle, but Yummy Mummy has just the right amount. Application is a dream and is opaque after two coats but I always do three. It is SO shiny without a topcoat but I generally use essie's good to go quick dry. I would (and WILL) repurchase this polish! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Butter London's Yummy Mummy is a lovely neutral taupe polish. It's a cream and it's opaque after 2 thin coats. A good color comparison is OPI's Over the Taupe and NARS's Bad Influence, though Yummy Mummy is lighter than both. Application is a dream and the finish is glossy without a top coat, although I still would use one to prolong wear time. Overall, Yummy Mummy is a good neutral shade that would work well with any skin tone. It's a great addition to my stash and I highly recommend.

I really don't understand the MUA user' love for a color like Yummy Mummy. Basically Yummy Mummy is advertised as a nude color but it goes on a GREYISH brown on me which I don't like on anyone. I am NC 20 asian girl. Everyone has their likes I guess. I also don't like the You Don't Know Jacques color, I don't think it looks good on anybody either. Just my opinion!!!

But gave 2 at least because of GREAT pigmentation. If you like a greyish brown with fine shimmer on your fingertips, you will like this! Too bad I don't like it.

If you would like this polish please message me! I would like to swap it for come to bed red.

This color is a great neutral, its sort of cool so it contrasts with my asian skin.

There are tiny silver glitters in it, which makes it metallic-y

It applies great, but as with all butter london polishes, the brush is awkwardly small!

Pretty, neutral tone that doesn't chip or fade. Staying power is amazing.

I was in the market to buy a nice nude nail polish and have been looking for one for a while. I was on Butter London's website and saw this shade. They advertise it as being a nude shade that's perfect for everyone. On the website (and in the bottle) the nail polish looked beautiful so I purchased it.


My biggest complaint with this Yummy Mummy is that it does NOT look good on medium-brown skin tones!!! After putting it on, it looked as if I had no fingernails, as the color blended well with my skin tone (not really a look I was going for). I think that it could be a beautiful color for those with lighter or significantly darker skin. Also, the online pictures make it look like a nude with some pink undertones. I found that there was no pink in it whatsoever (more nude-brownish). The two stars off are for the inaccurate description of the color (online and in pictures), and the fact that it looked sort of blah when it was on.


I think it's important to note that the formula is good for Butter polishes in general (they last about 4 days with no chips for me) and they apply nicely with a streak-free finish.


For those who are unsure about this color, I would avoid it if you have medium-brown skin. Also, All Hail the Queen is a very similar color, however, has a shimmer to it. In my opinion, it is nicer than Yummy Mummy.

Really beautiful, versatile color. I've recently jumped on the nail bandwagon and didn't know how great a nude beige would be. I like that I can wear this with anything - I can wear pink, red, purple, and my nail polish doesn't clash with my outfit. I also feel that it's year-round and not limited to a season. It's a bit of the mannequin hand effect, but up close it has a silvery gleam through it. It's very pretty. Personally, I prefer one thick coat; two coats was too solid and looked odd with my skin tone (Asian NC25). Paired with base and top coat, it lasts at least 5 days with no touch-ups, 7 days with touch-ups.

Beautiful nude color, perfect for fall, dries fast and does not chip easily (but to be honest I change my nail polish ALOT) 2 coats and ur good to go, it made my hands look a little tanned.

This is a perfect everyday nude shade. This was the first Butter London product I purchased and it sold me on the brand. I get much longer wear time with these polishes than when my manicurist uses OPI.

LOVE this colour and with the use of a god base and top coat it lasts without chipping for at least a week. I've had mine for about 1 year and it went a bit thick so I mixed it with some nail polish remover and it's back to a good consistency! The colour is just amazing - I always get compliments when I wear it.

Perfect everyday polish if you just want a natural look. It's very seldom that I am willing to give anything with shimmer a try, but took a gamble on this as I know everyone raves about it. I use one coat, it dries in 5 minutes, and I am set for the (work) week. Surely someone has said this before, but it's like Stila "Kitten" in polish form. Perfect.

I have quite a few of Butter London colors. All are great and wear well. However, I'm not sure if its the gel products used on my nails or if it the chemical make-up of the polish itself but they do not wear well on Gel nails. With that said, the color Yummy Mummy, claims to be the perfect color for ALL skin tones. I loved the color in the bottle and figured it would be a great tone on tone natural color. I was wrong. I am fair with a light olive undertone and this color was just so blah on me. I am sure that for some it would be beautiful but not for me. I will stick with my favorite....Snog

I am in mad love with Butter London nail polish. I have about 10 shades (that I bought in the last month!), and I love the texture. I feel it's a long-wearing polish, as I abuse my manicures and this still manages to look great even 4 days later, a tad worn on the edges but chip-free! I was getting gel manicures that tore my nails to shreads, and these have been my salvation. LOVE THEM.

Great neutral beige. Really does go with anything. Polish had nice consistency and covers well with two coats.

After reading and hearing all the hype, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this polish. What a disappointment. So blah.

Buy All Hail The Queen instead. It's essentially the same color, but the slight shimmer makes all the difference.

I'm on to my second bottle of this gorgeous neutral polish. It's a warmish beige with a slight silver shimmer through it, very flattering. This is my go to polish when I'm in a hurry, because one coat looks great, though two coats is fully opaque. The formula is perfect, like all Butter London polishes and the bottles are so cute. I highly recommend this nail polish to anyone looking for a gorgeous neutral.

Love this color! It's my new favorite neutral. It looks great on me (brown hair-light/med skin-brown eyes) but it also looks great on my mom (black hair/light skin/hazel eyes). It goes on lovely and has staying power. It was my first Butter and I can't wait to try more.
