Irreplaceable Crush: NOTD



Another nail post? Yes, please bear with me as I muster the courage to take some new photos and blog about something else. At the moment, I am using the materials which survived the computer apocalypse and which were stored on my camera memory card.


There are nail polishes that you like, nail polishes that you really like  and polishes that you like so much, you just can't help but looking at your nails constantly. 'Irreplaceable' nail polish from Essence belongs to the third category and has captivated me like no other polishes,well if you don't count Holographic from Gosh, which frankly belongs to a league of its own. I first came across 'Irreplaceable' on a Slovenian Blog, Biba's Beauty Corner, a blog I have become very fond of, as the photos are incredible and it features different products from the typical British nail blogs I follow.

Back to 'irreplaceable' and my attempt at trying at to explain to you why it fascinates me so much. Imagine a sunny and golden sandy beach, and this is what the polish reminds me of. In fact, forget the 'irreplaceable' name, I would like to call this nail polish 'golden sands'.


This is how I would have liked my Boots No. 7 (Sundowner Collection) 'Sultry Sands' to have been like.  The colour is absolutely gorgeous, it applies beautifully, smoothly, so easily and to top it all off, it is dries very quickly. Drying time was a major issue with the sultry sands from No.7, so much so that I m convinced that an hour would not be enough for it to dry fully, it's that bad.

Irreplaceable could also be called 'unfindable' as sadly, if you live in the UK this is a very hard to find nail polish. Yes I might be lucky to live in a country which sells really good quality polishes at a low price (Barry M, BeautyUk and 17 Cosmetics polishes spring to mind) but I will always be jealous of my fellow European Bloggers (the swatchaholic and nihrida -  to name but a few) and their easy access to stunning and budget friendly Essence polishes.

I am very emotionally attached to this 5ml bottle: I acquired it in a makeup swap with Biba herself and if I break it, I know this is really going to be irreplaceable. This polish gives me gorgeous golden sandy nude nails in minutes (2 coats), goes pretty much with anything, and is for me a minimum effort maximum impact polish.


I am in love.

nihrida said...

Oh yeah, it does look awesome on you. The photos are amazing as well. You know: I'd love to send you a Colour and Go shade for that 17 golden crackle. It still haunts me... *blushes*

I also follow Biba. She's a very nice blogger and graces our blog with her comments from time to time.
I fell in love with this one but took me a while to get it, because our local Essence dealer only has the 'basic' Essence display, not the one with the nail art stuff, which also has more references.

Oh my that is a beauty! xx
