Renaissance Cosmetics - Rosie-Osie

Hi Goddesses

Oh I feel I have been such a very bad blogger this week.  I had so much planned but I have been utterly knackered, and most nights I’ve just come home and watched TV.  Previously I’d have STILL blogged, so it’s progress that I “allowed” myself time off with no guilt, but I am now behind.  Oh, and I have nothing planned for DD Week next week – eeeeeeeeeeek!

This was supposed to be Tuesday’s post haha, the 2^nd of 4 reviewing the Renaissance Cosmetics polishes I was sent for review.  Today’s deliciousness is Rosie-Osie and she’s quite the fantastic red.

If you only own one red glitter polish, I would suggest you make it this one.  It really is special.  It’s crammed with shimmer and flash and “just” enough glitter.  It’s better than all the millions of other red glitters I have in my box,  and super damn sexy it is too!

There’s nothing not to like about this polish.  It’s on the cranberry to ruby side of red, which plays up the drama of the glitters perfectly.  It’s also a 1-coater if you want it to be, AND it looks awesome matte.

For funsies, I added some nail vinyls and used Barry M Espresso over the top.  I love the plainness of the black matte polish against the kitchen-sink qualities of Rosie-Osie.

I listened to The Nailasaurus this time, and applied my tape with tweezers.  Whaddya know, she’s right lol.  It was much easier to get them in “just” the right position.

This polish was sent to me for an honest review and can be bought HERE.

Renaissance Cosmetics Guest Post - Victorian Roses

Hi Goddesses

Earlier this week, I was the guest post for Renaissance Cosmetics, which is the brand owned by Meghan of Willpaintnailsforfood.  She is one of THE most talented bloggers out there, and now she's diversified into making polish, and a bloody good job she's done there too!

Meghan sent me 4 polishes for review, and next week, you can see all of these individually on my blog, but for today, we have some nail art featuring all 4.


Let's look at the polishes first -
index finger - Rosie-Osie
middle finger - The Danforth
ring finger - Flirt
and the green is Emerald Envy

When I chose these colours, I immediately saw roses in my head, and what gorgeous semi-gothic, Victorian roses they made!   I used Meghan's favourite polish on base - OPI My Vampire Is Buff.

These polishes are intensely rich in colour and all of them are one coaters.  Although I wouldn't usually do this kind of nail art with glitters, they lent themselves admirably to the task.

I did my roses differently this time.  I've just bought the Sam Biddle needle pen, and did some scribbling with the pen to create the petal effect.


These polishes were sent to me for an honest review.  You can buy them - and the fabulous new collection - HERE.
