Bootstrap 4 navbar with topmenu

Question

I have a client with a 140x140 logo, the size of the logo may not be adjusted. To avoid a lot of whitespace in the header, I want to have two navbars:

Topmenu, with a link to the login page or, if the user is already logged in, a 'Logged in as'-message. In a 80% font-size
Regular menu

I have already found a solution on Stack Overflow: Bootstrap 4 navbar with 2 rows

But I like to position the topmenu to the right-top corner, and the regular menu to the right-bottom corner. In the solution above the navbars both got centered on the y-axis.

Is there a build-in solution for this case? Or do I have to use absolute positioning?

Use the answer in the other question to understand how alignment works and then attempt it yourself. — Carol Skelly, Jan 12 '18 at 16:50

Here's a way to do it in Bootstrap 4:
