Question QUESTION: I found you through an Google search for ESN UV Topcoat. I saw where you recommended it to someone. I first purchased this product at Sally's last year. Unfortunately, they have stopped carrying it, and I love it! It's the only UV topcoat I've found that doesn't have a purple tint to it.
I can buy it online but only in Europe, and there's one California site but they require me to buy a minimum of four bottles, and I'm afraid it will go bad.
Do you know of another beauty supply chain that carries it? I live in California.
If not, can you recommend another UV topcoat that won't change the color of my polish?
I appreciate your assistance.
Sincerely,
Bj Hickman
ANSWER: Hi
I have not heard of ECN do you mean LCN ? Have you tried Ebay?

QUESTION: It's ESN, not ECN. This is a response you gave to another questioner (which is what led me to write you):
"The following brands have come out with a new liquid sealing off either gel or acrylic nails. ESN has Rapid Seal; IBD has Intense Seal and EzFlow has Finish It."
I know you were recommending their gel sealer but I'm assuming if a store sells the sealer, they'll probably have the UV topcoat.
Answer Hi I have just re read the questions and answer from the other reader who enquired about ESN, and i said the same to her, i had not heardof it before and could she tell me a bit more, i am in the UK and that is not a very popular brand here, she also said she bought it at Sally wholesalers, over here most nail techs buy direct from nail distributer ie: Creative, EZflow, NSI and we usually only buy sundries, ie: cotton wool polish remover etc from sallys as it is also open to the general public here which i dont think is a good thing.
I use an excellent UV topcoat from a company called Millennium Nails and i use another one from Essie nailpolish which i know is huge in the states, if you want i can look up their websites but they are both based here if you search the internet i know you will find these in the states try :
Millennium UV topcoat
Seche vite top coat
Essie non yellow topcoat
