I really need some expert info on Top Coats and Base Coats . I have natural nails and have tried many brands. OPI has the very best colors but I need the manicure to last. OPI seems to have a few choices in Base Coat and Top Coat. Can those that know, please offer suggestions for long wear.?

Thanks much.......

For top coat, there is no better one than Poshe, dries in 60 seconds to a high gloss glass like cushiony feel. I have natural nails tried them all, nothing else comes close. Base coats I am more flexible, I do like Sally Hansen 7 in One or Nail Aid has some very good ones, that also accomplish many things.  Also like Duri Rejuvacote 2, this one is more natural than the original formula. 

I gave up long ago looking for the best long wear, for me there is no such thing, I take my own polishes and treatments to the salon every 2 weeks, I do self touchups in between.

after all the "bad chemicals" q speak, were removed there is no polish that lasts now,  unless you get gels

used to be able to get a week without chips

@sandylu   I have used Seche Vite for many yrs. It's available at drugstores, etc. It's a fast drying top coat that keep my Sally Hansen nail strengthener shiney. I add another coat every 3 days to prevent chipping.

OPI does make a combo base and top coat, too. I found it at Target.

I am loving Dazzle Dry.  It lasts without chipping, at least 7 days.  Other than gel nails, I have never had that kind of success.

My nails grow very quickly so by 7 days I either need to reapply or completely redo to cover the growth area.

Shanus, have you tried Poshe, it beats Seche Vite by a mile in so many ways, please trust me on this!!
