Personally I use both head cement and nail polish when tying. If I'm tying small trout flies or dries I use the head cement because it soaks into the wraps better and is lighter. The nail varnish makes a nice head but is a little heavier than the head cement I use. If you're tying a fly with a tinsel body you can use it to coat the body and that will give your fly a little longer life. If you can get away with using the nail varnish it may protect the thread wraps a little better because it coats them but they will still give way if the fish bites the threads. I always coat the heads of my saltwater flies.
