Note that this is the clear bottle labeled "Clearly Thinking Nail Polish" and not the other clear bottle labeled "3-in-1 Treatment One Step Prep". I think people using things like the latter that look like clear nail polish is where they run into problems.

Yeah I think I got lucky, I just picked up whatever brand was at my local convenience store. The brand is called "pop-arazzi" and I've used it on various toys and figures (mostly to add shine to the compound eyes of vinyl figures) without any issue other than a lingering strong smell when you first apply it.

Brand shouldn't matter, from my experience. I use SO much clear nail polish because of SO-DO figures. None of it has directly damaged my plastic as long as I applied it properly. I HIGHLY recommend getting the rapid-drying ones, which are a dollar at your convenience store. I'd say it's absolutely required - you don't want the nail polish to drip before it actually solidifies.
The big thing you need to keep in mind is to NEVER brush the nail polish on - you drip it. Pretend they're eye drops(don't actually put them in your eyes though lol). The reason for this is that brushing/swiping nail polish onto the surface of a sticker will absolutely ruin it. If you mess up, DOUBLE DOWN, apply more nail polish - just make sure you never brush. Once you've got it down, it won't even feel like a sticker anymore, which is so awesome. I've used 4 different brands of clear nail polish and none of them have directly damaged anything I collect, which includes RKF, SHF, Gunpla, and SO-DO.

You can apply it with a paint brush if you have paint brush with thin and soft bristles. It's just that the one that usually comes with the nail polish is too rough.

As I can't get my hands on nail polish, could I use mod podge? It would probably not be as quality but it should work?
