Finding the perfect nude polish has been an epic battle. It seems like no matter what I do, they just don't work for me. I blame it on my wonky skin tone. It has strong yellow undertones, so anything too cool-toned fails, but then nudes that are too yellow don't work either. I don't get it. I ADORED Butter London All Hail the Queen, but I'm still on the hunt for something a little closer to my skin tone. You guys know I love me some Butter London, and the brand themselves say Yummy Mummy is "simply stunning on EVERY skin colour." Who am I to argue with CAPITALIZATION? I threw in Yummy Mummy with my Ulta Buy 1 Get 1 purchase.
Yummy Mummy is a "medium beige" nude with subtle silver shimmer. Almost a secret shimmer. The color is almost a taupe, and I think it leans a little on the cool side (but I'm horrible with the warm/cool thing). The application was a little subpar for Butter London, but after two coats everything evened out and opaque. So, is Yummy Mummy my Perfect Nude??

Not even close. I want to love this, but it just looks weird on me. Even my hubby told me "it doesn't go with your skin or something." So right, dear. I fear Yummy Mummy is just too cool-toned for me. Sigh. Wonky skin tone wins again. Perfect Nude - I WILL find you!
So Yummy Mummy didn't work so well for me, but it is one of their best-selling colors, so if you're on a quest for your Perfect Nude, it's worth giving it a shot. Hopefully it'll be just what you're looking for! :-)
I feel you on the skin tone thing ... you can purge it on over to me, though! :-P
ReplyDeleteAnd I keep meaning to tell you that Snog looked ridiculously beautiful on you.
