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...

Nothing special
It's like wearing a sheer pink natural polish. Does prevent dark polish colors from staining nails. Other than that, it doesn't do anything special like provide extra nourishment or fill ridges or hold onto polish extra well. Not the most comfortable wear either as it is slightly drying on the na...

Great Base Coat
I love the entire Halo Taco range. They are so interesting and pretty. I always get compliments on my nails and I'm far from a professional. :-)
I use this long lasting base coat all the time!
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!
smoothing & fast drying
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.
SO GOOD!
Just buy it!
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.
