Just what I needed!
I love this! Not just as a base coat to go under other polishes! When I’m in a rush and can’t do a full mani before work but still want my nails protected and not *****, I go straight to this and a glossy taco! It’s amazing and I love using just this and one of the sparkly tacos, too! It’s a nail saver! Quality Holo Taco product as always!
Love this base
My only complaint is I wish this were pink-er, but now they've released the Pink version! Overall a very good base. Easy to apply and dries quickly. Fills in ridges in my nails very well.
Works Perfectly
This was one of my first purchases and I was not at all let down. Works as advertised. I use my hands for a lot of things and have very dented nails as a result. This can make it difficult for most polishes to stick to my nails, but after putting just one coat of this on, my polish stuck and was one of the smoothest applications I've ever had. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone with dinged up nails!
Mixed feelings
A bit tempremental. Too thick and it's gloopy, too thin and it's patchy. Sometimes in either thick it thin application it doesn't self level enough leaving it bumpy. Takes longer to dry than it should, and can be a bit squishy for a long time afterwards. Easy to ding it up if you're not careful. When it behaves -and you manage to apply that perfect not too thick and not too thin coat, it's an alright base for polish, and seems to last. Not the best ridge filler, far from the worst. The issue is in the fact that it's causing my nails to flake and peel. It's likely the polyvinyl butyral in it, which, unfortunately is also in their long lasting base coat (which i like). Disappointed.
Holo Taco
Holo Brandy! So sorry that Smoothing Base is not working as anticipated. Please check your email as our Support Team will be reaching out to you.
Meet expectations
I received the smoothing base as part of a bundle for Christmas and I tried it on first! I did two coats of smoothing and one glossy taco (I also love). I think it gives the perfect "clean" nail look. I hope Simply releases more jellies because I am digging the sheer look.
