Fuzzy is dead on. But, to thin the lacquer I use Berrymans "B-12 Chemtool." It's sold in the auto section as a fuel system cleaner and additive. It is a lethal mix of acetone, toluene, MEK and God knows what else - and it works great for thinning nail polish.
It's about $3.50/pint and will last a long time. But keep the window open when using it, or it may last longer than you.

Head cement!!!
Go forth unto the wasteland of Wal-mart, and in the forbidden territory of the Cosmetic Aisles, find the holy grail, Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails. It's like a buck and a half......
When you get home, you'll want to trim the brush. I cut off probably half, maybe two-thirds, of the bristles. It may look like a piddly-little brush, but it's perfect for tiny flies.
You'll probably want to thin the nail polish down a bit. I've tried the cheap acetone you can also get in the Forbidden Territory, but it will make the polish cloudy, as it attracts water. Go to a hardware store and get a small can of a good-quality solvent. I think I've got a wood putty solvent, a mix of acetone and ethyl-methyl ketone.
