Most polishes use acrylic resins, like the ones found in the enamel paint that you see on refrigerators and other appliances. But it is not baked on, so it is removable with polish remover (it dissolves in acetone). And it is not as tough, so it may chip or crack.

The nail itself has a durable top layer that resists breaking but can be softened and damaged by chemicals.

What scientifically makes nail polish last longer?

Well depending on how much you work with your hands. If you are washing them constantly, they will probably come off faster. It also depends on the chemical making and the oils in your skin, which can affect how long your nail polish lasts. You should put on a top coat after finished with the main colour because it will protect the colour and make the nail polish last a bit longer.

Nail varnish is the coloured polish, and that goes on first. The french polish is just a see-through layer that is a strengthener/hardener to make the coloured varnish last longer and that goes on top after you have applied 1 to 2 coats of the coloured nail polish.
