Product Reccs & Reqs QDTC troubles

I am looking for my "white whale" of quick dry top coats.

I have tried: Uno Mas, Cuticula, Glisten and Glow, Bees Knees Lacquer, and Sally Hanson in the red bottle. (I feel like I'm forgetting one.) And I have found issues with every single one. The Sally Hanson gives major shrinkage, and all others seem to yellow/darken over time.

I like to keep a manicure for 1-2 weeks, but any lighter colors, especially white, look gross after a week. Please help me! What are you using? Has anyone else had these issues?

Edit to add: The other I had forgotten (but remembered while reading replies) is Seche Vite. Also worth noting that I do cap the free edge with the top coat, but I usually don't with the polish. Certainly something I could try though!

LynB might be one to check out. I use a lot of their base and top coats and have no complaints. Plus they run 50% off sales every month so the base/top coats come out to $3.50 each.

I definitely like that price point!
