I guess im wrong I usually am so
never mind.

I hope you only use that nailpolish idea on very cheap models. For that a drop of fairly weak loctite should work better and be more permanent... I suggested teflon tape or even a bit a saran wrap as a temporary solution and because they are not chemicals and can easily be taken off and repaired... ...

This one is quite easy. They are the same. Armstrong is owned by the same company as Artly and if you have equivalent models they are exactly the same. The same identical instrument with different names engraved on the joint. Many makers and big name retailers do this... Same theory with %99 of car ...
