Try Seche Vite or Essie Good To Go topcoat, those are the ones most lasting for me
(though I find my polish chips when my nails itself are kinda "chippy")

oh and wrap the polish around the edges of your nails, that helps too

Try using a gel topcoat.

A good base coat always makes my polish last longer, and applying in two or three thinner coats makes it more resilient, from my experience.
Also, Revlon Extra Life No Chip Top Coat. I can't stress that enough.

Try Orly bonder as a base coat. Normally when I do my nails at home and use a bonder, my nails tend to last for about a week.

A gel top coat might be the best way to go ( but make sure you are also using a gel basecoat, in order for it to bond to the nail). If you find that every base and top coat you are using are not helping, it is probably just the oils on your nail. Everyone is different.
