not rosy at all
ja bih stavio "at all" na kraju ako se to "nimalo" zeli naglasiti
Recenicu stanje nije nimalo ruzicasto preveo bih
"the situation is not rosy at all".
Recenicu stanje nije nimalo ruzicasto preveo bih

: Add "looking": Actually, come to think of it, it wasn't the lack of "looking" that was niggling me, but "too". "Not (looking) TOO rosy". Try a Google for both variations, "not at all rosy" and "not too rosy". Though they are both only in the 1000s...

That would be "Situacija ne izgleda baš ružičasto" - not quite as strong as the poster's original sentence.

not coming up roses
fraza je 'umetnickog' porekla te je, smatram, pogodna za 'umetnicki' kontekst
Example sentence:
everything is not coming up roses
Something went wrong...
