Rose gold is a metallic color between pink and gold, sometimes it leans copper, which is more on the brown side of the color spectrum. Rose gold nail polishes come in a variety of finishes from smooth to magnetic to pearl to more of a chunky sparkly glitter.
Below, you will find some of the best, most eye-catching rose gold nail polishes that have crossed our path so far on the nail polish journey.
Let’s start looking at rose gold nail polishes with an essie rose gold:
essie penny talk
penny talk (#3006) is a smooth metallic finish rose gold. It dries very quickly, and is opaque in two coats. It applies easily and goes where you want it to go on the nail, making it a breeze to work with.
penny talk can show brush strokes, unless you get a healthy bead of polish on the brush and start each stroke at the top of the nail. Though, if you make a mistake in the first coat, it will totally cover in the second coat as we’ve learned.
Sally Hansen Color Foil Rose Beam
Rose Beam (#100) looks alot like essie’s penny talk.
It’s a smooth, metallic pink rose gold, opaque in two coats and pleasing to the eye.
For best results, you want to shake this polish before use, and Sally Hansen asks that you don’t use a base or top coat so the photos above are shown with just the color, which makes it lower maintenance than penny talk, which is best with a base and a top coat.
Brush Marks are a tad visible, like they are with most smooth metallics, but as long as you start each stroke at the top of the nail, the color itself has a nice harmony and the strokes blend with each other.
OPI Metallic Composition
Metallic Composition (#NLLA01), shown in two coats, was first featured on the blog last August as the color used for the chevron french tips on OPI’s 7th & Flower. From the 2021 Downtown LA Collection, this is a chunky, pixelated rose gold glitter polish with a cool toned shimmer.
Metallic Composition scatters the light differently than both Rose Beam and penny talk, which both have more mirror-like reflective finishes. Due to the larger glitter size, it offers more of a fairy godmother effect by reflecting the light in many directions, which is very pleasing to the eye.
OPI Made It To the Seventh Hill!
Made It To the Seventh Hill! (#NLL15) is from the 2018 Lisbon Collection. It’s a warm rosy gold with a pearl finish. Shown in two coats, Made It To the Seventh Hill!, has a glamorous feel to it.
Rose golds are a collection of colors worth your attention.
They are pretty, feminine, sparkly and may impart “goddess vibes” to the wearer, as some are quite glamorous indeed. Rose gold shimmers can be small and fine or large and chunky, as you’ve seen above. All are regal in their own right.
