What a man, @WalkingWicket37. Cheers. Looks a lot neater than shoe goo. Next question, using a brush or rag to apply.?

I used a cotton bud pal, applies a nice thin coat, doesn't drip over the end and best of all no washing a brush after

Did you get them from your nail polish kit!?

No mate, it was the file set and remover pads came with the nail polish kit

Depends what you want to protect it from if it's
1. Moisture - Unless applied well toe guards can allow moisture in and make it difficult for the moisture to evaporate. Varnish will soon crack and again allow moisture in and not so easily out. I have never seen an unprotected bat with a rotten toe. I have seen rotten toes with the original toe guards still hanging on.
2. Cracking - Don't try and drive Yorkers and knock it in properly
3 Feathering - Apply a toe guard, apply it properly ensuring the external edges are completely sealed and remove it at the end of each season or when/if a gap appears.
That's my opinion.

So far for getting rid of cracked toe i apply an inch of twine thread to toe after knocking and take it off after some games when toe is fully compressed.... and also play yorkers with soft hands:)
