Best Base Coat?

Lately my nails have been turning yellow, as I've had nail polish on them constantly for the past few months. The base coat I have right now, Sally Hansen's Ultimate Shield Base and Top coat, is not cutting it. I've heard that base/topcoat mixes don't work as well as just plain base coats, so any recommendations? Thanks c:

I use Orly's Rubberized base coat and it's amazing. It dries really fast, too. But I heard it also makes your nails yellow. I've used for a long time and I haven't had any problems with it; BUT just to be on the safe side, you can apply a nail strengthener before you apply your base coat to prevent yellowing. You can find the Orly base coat just about anywhere. I got mine from Sally Hansen.

Hope that helps. <3

I use either nail envy or duri nail growth system and don't get any staining and really healthy nails: http://thoughtsinlittleboxes.com/2011/12/07/my-favourite-basecoatstopcoats/
