Clear nail polish is fine. Most tyers prefer Hard As Nails, at least for a finish coat. But I don't think it really matters all that much.
Make sure you get some nail polish remover as well, to act as a thinner.
You want the polish to be thin enough so that it's absorbed into the threads, not merely coating them. Then the final coat can be straight nail polish if you want a hard, shiny head. If not, don't bother. The fish won't care.
BTW, clear nail polish, even the premium priced brands, is still less expensive than buying head cement.
