Yes.
The Hard as Nails is just the finger nail polish. It is thicker than normal head cement and is water proof. It works well where you want a thicker coat. It does not wick well at all so it will not penetrate thread layers.
Besides using on flys where I want the head to be built up with a smooth layer I use it on small thread midges a fair amount.
I use the Griffith's thin a lot. I use the standard solvent based Head Cement a fair mount. The Hard as Nails is used about equally as much. On occasion I use Dave's Fleximent for bushly flies where I use a lot of flash and put eyes on the side of the soft material.
I have yet to make a fly where I have used an epoxy to achieve a hard head.
