Ashlee, Nail polish is a type of paint, so that you might find more information if you search for "paint" in general rather than "nail polish". The ingredients are likely to be a trade secret, but if you look into what makes paint last longer in general (in particular, what makes it chip-resistant) that should help you. I suggest that you first find out what are the purposes of the various ingredients in a generic "paint", especially "oil-based paint" or "solvent-based paint." Enjoy your research!
