I realize I'm coming to an end of all my crusty dusty bottles, and it's time....

Looking for your holy grail base coats, top coats, and strengtheners/nail foods!!!

Main issues I have are:

Peely nails, one thumb has perma ridges from past trauma (ridges are my least concern)

Train dogs, guilty of using my hands/nails as tools

Also foster dogs so I don't get a ton of time to sit and have things dry before Someone tries to eat them

the holiest of grails will dry quickly, withstand me using my nails more than the rest of my finger at any given point, and preferably last for more than 3 days without cracking or yellowing! I'm totally chill doing constant manis as long as they dry down faster than they have been lately, which is HOURS (like 6+)

I don't use magnetics or thermals atm, so that isn't a concern for me. I do use a good amount of glitters though.

TIA!!!

bought as a sogo vivien, but the lip is Not solid and it also is fragrant???

I have a second sogo that looks nothing like this but does look like every other typical photo i've seen. Last image is my other Sogo, which definitely looks to be more typical. Not fragrant either, and more a light purple/pink than pink/purple (if that even makes sense)
