As far as I know "the pros" usually use acrylate adhesives, which is pretty much what you have done (I'm pretty sure nail polish is based on methacrylate lacquer). One problem with using lacquer as an adhesive is that lacquer often has a fair amount of solvent in it which gives shrinkage on cure. Good adhesives show no shrinkage on cure so they don't pull away from the joint.The other problem is that it's usually very hard to get a good bond to aluminium without fairly specialist surface prep.
