Because nail polish is a thin porous coating with no strength per se. Would
you trust it to seal a leak in a tire or a crack in a drinking glass?
If a tube is going to outgas around the glass/pin interface, no coating or
other treatment is going to prevent that leakage. The seal is either good
I would be curious as to the gas permeability of a layer of nitrocellulose
(nail polish). I imagine it may not be that good?

I seriously doubt nail polish will prevent gas leaks at the pins.

I dont remember seeing any posts about fake nixies. More likely, tubes sold
as NOS are actually used. I've even bought a few that were completely dead
because they were sold untested/as-is at a good price. I knew the risk, and
usually it's OK. Having a few spares is always good practice.
I can't remember.
It probably worked for a few years,
After the failure, it was put into the warehouse.
Now I'm arranging the warehouse, Thinking about to fix it.
BTW, does CCCP IN-14 exist fakes?
The markings on my IN-14 fall off very easily.
It falls off when touches water.

I've had one IN-18 (out of 6) outgas like this, and I've seen multiple
reports of the same. Now I apply clear nail varnish to the joint between
the glass and the pin. I'm sure it depends how you socket them.

It's always sad when a nixie tube dies. How long was it running ?
The only Soviet-era nixies I'm using are IN-18, and they are exceptionally
good tubes. Consider those for a future project. I have not had any fail
yet; my 14-tube clock has been running since 2015.

Sad... so I need to replace it.
But luckily, I used the original plastic sleeves to make the sockets. (use
DIP IC socket pin)
I just need to replace the tube. ;-)
Thanks for everyone's explanation.
