i think its rubber or pvc. wats the difference? its attached to a dental unit.

If its attached to a dental unit, its a high pressured pipe (whether air or water). You might be able to use the nail polish as a sealant, but you may need to wrap some plumber's tape around it too.

plumber’s tape :confused:. its a water pipe and it is high pressured. and thanks TLK.
would a scotch tape over the nail polish help?

Scotch tape is not going to work. Duct tape might be a better option, but even for that to work, hole has to be completely sealed. No leaking.

Wonder if crazy glue instead of nail polish would be better sealant. Then wrap with duct gasped.

Plumbers tape I thought was for threaded connections.
