I decided to try the Aqua Base with Make Up Store Siw. Aqua Base is milky in the bottle and goes on the nail that way. You'll want to make sure you're not applying it too thick, or it won't dry properly and your nice holo polish will get messed up in spite of your efforts. It has a slightly sweet, almost flowery scent. I don't mind it but I suppose it could bother some people. I think it smells much nicer than typical nail polish.
In short, the Aqua Base is a must for holos in my opinion. It made application 100% easier, made the holo look better on the nail, and thus far has made the polish wear much better. I've had Siw on for three days which is unprecedented for me.
Have you used a special base for holos? If not, what do you use, and how does it work for you?

Oh my god! I have been looking for THAT NAIL POLISH for like 5 years.
I had a Sally Hanson like that ages and ages ago - one of few nail polishes I have actually used up.
I'm going to have to acquire a bottle of this one, methinks!
A second question - where do you actually get this fantastic polish in the USA?
You can order Make Up Store Siw from the Make Up Store directly - I called their Denver area location to order my polishes, and they were awesome: (303) 708-0086. I think I spoke to a woman named Renee.
For something similar, you can also order Nfu-Oh holos (and the Aqua Base!) online at FabulouStreet.com. For a light blue like Siw, I would recommend Nfu-Oh 65. It's sold out right now but it always comes back in stock.
The polishes are $12.50 but if you order 2, you get free shipping (for spending $25).
