Ryan,
I just asked my wife for something she no longer uses. I wouldn't be very concerned about the type of polish just that it's consistent and not lumpy or dried out. All you are attempting to do is keep an already tight screw from starting to backing out. The nail polish should prevent that process from ever occurring but with minimal effort you should be able to remove the screw in the future without damage to the shell. I would put very little on the screws, just take the brush and swipe it once across the threads of the screw. Don't blob it on. The screw should just show that you've applied it but the threads should be completely visible. Torque your screws immediately in a staggered manner. Run them all down until they barely touch, then torque each one in a crisis cross manner until they are snug. Do not over tighten them. Once they are torqued, don't check them by trying to tighten them further or you will break the seal you are trying to make. When checking them in the future, don't try to tighten or loosen them, just verify that they have not moved by lightly applying slight pressure in both directions. If they don't move, leave them alone. That's what I did and would advise you to do but others may have a different opinion. Good luck and don't sweat it, it's not a big deal. BTW, make certain you use the correct bits that fit properly or you'll have a different issue to deal with.
