Wet n Wild One Step Wonder Gel is a recent favorite of mine. For a cheap polish I'm impressed how long it lasts. It's one of those that hardens best if you go outside in the sun for a little bit after you put it on.

I buy Sinful Colors at Target (because it’s cheap), or Essie and I pair it with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel topcoat. Generally, my nails are good for 5-7 days with that combo.
My go-to basecoat is Formula X, purchased at Sephora several years ago. The bottle has lasted me forever.
I like the colors from Sinful Colors (which is usually ~$2 here) but I've been looking at ella + mila (which my Target just started carrying) because it's low-odor ... and while I like Essie's color names (and have read that Queen Elizabeth has worn their "Ballet Slippers" color for decades now), I don't think I've ever actually tried it.
I think I can also get Zoya in the grocery store, but I don't always have a lot of wiggle room in the budget for fun things like nail color.

The longest I have EVER had polish last is 5 days, and that was last week with Essie Couture. Revlon Gel Color stay I see pretty good too, although it smells worse. My friend had a beautiful OPI color on last week; she uses exclusively OPI.
I use CND vinylux. It is supposed to last a week without chipping and it almost does! Better than regular polish imo. It’s available in plenty of stores. You do have to use their special top coat.
