Non Gel nail varnish

I love painting my nails but they always chip within a day. I use base and top coats.

In the summer I tried BIAB (by a professional) but they grew out in 2 weeks - my nails grow fast, and they were so weak and sore afterwards.
I tried nail wraps but similar problems in that it felt like I was wrecking my nails.

Can anyone recommend a nail varnish that I can use that will last more than a few days? I really don’t want anything that requires UV, specialist equipment etc. Just a recommendation for regular mail varnish that lasts!

I painted mine on Friday night and three were chipped by Saturday evening and I’d had gloves on most of the day!

Sally Hansen Gel Miracle or Maybelline 7 days with the gel style topcoat seem best.

But I often use Rimmel 60 because it dries so quickly and I'm usually rushing around, and then I don't mind doing them more often because it only takes 5 minutes.
