How To Use

  1. For best results, clean nails thoroughly of natural oils to ensure maximum base coat and nail polish adhesion. Make sure to use acetone-based nail polish remover or a nail dehydrating solution to properly prep the nail plate.

  2. Apply 1 to 2 coats of Smoothing Base on clean, dry nails. Wrap under the tips of your nails to help prevent tip wear.

  3. Allow to dry to the touch before applying your favorite nail polish. Or, wear 2 coats alone for a conditioned natural look!

Long Lasting Base + Pink Smoothing Base = ultimate combo

Found out about Holo Taco recently after seeing a nail forum where someone uploaded a picture of their nails after 3 weeks (and not a single chip). What were they wearing? Holo Taco Pink Smoothing Base. Which I found they sell at Ulta and immediately went out to buy it. I first bought Holo Taco Pi...

Great product…..at first

I'm torn about this product — on one hand (no pun intended) it works and looks great, but on the other, its overall life span inside the bottle seems to be pretty short. I've tried buying multiple bottles and unfortunately, I'm still having the same issue with it getting thick and stringy before i...

I use this long lasting base coat all the time! it's so good and makes my polish last so much longer. I'm glad I can go to ulta to buy more when I run out instead of buying from holo taco and paying for shipping. great company, great product! definitely recommend!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

love the rounded brush for neat application near the cuticles. dries super fast and helps smooth any ridges or grooves on the nail plate. i use 2 coats for extra smoothing.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Long Lasting Base + Pink Smoothing Base = ultimate combo

Found out about Holo Taco recently after seeing a nail forum where someone uploaded a picture of their nails after 3 weeks (and not a single chip). What were they wearing? Holo Taco Pink Smoothing Base. Which I found they sell at Ulta and immediately went out to buy it. I first bought Holo Taco Pink Smoothing Base (so pretty on its own) and tried it out and loved it. Since there was also Long Lasting Base available I really wanted to try that too, mostly because of the color and to use it for sheer polishes. After a few experiments, I found the best combo was using 1 coat long lasting base + 1 coat pink smoothing base, 2 coats of regular polish, optional topper, and a top coat. And I experience no chipping and VERY minimal shrinkage all week (shrinkage could be due to a different brand dries top coat I use)! I only keep polish on for a week but I'm sure with this combo it could last even longer. I also saw a video where the owner explains how to make your polish last longer. So I always wipe my nails with 100% acetone before applying the base coats. For toes, using 1 coat of either base coat (pink smoothing/ long lasting) works the same. I usually remove polish after 3 weeks and my toes still look brand new, without a single chip. I tend to use 1 coat long lasting base alone for sheer polishes.

I dont see a big difference while using this compared to Sally Hansen ultimate shield base coat. I do enjoy the looks of my nails if I have them bare.
