Don is correct that tapping the hole as it exists won't really work and offered some viable solutions. However, if there isn't enough material for a Helicoil to bite into it won't work either on a through hole and sometimes using a larger bolt isn't an option either. In such cases you can add some filler to your existing hole. JB Weld can work as a filler for aluminum. If you apply a thin enough coating, you can tap the hole after it cures without drilling - then use a Helicoil for strength. Option 2 would be to use an aluminum filler rod and a MIG welder to fill, then drill and tap the hole.
If the nail polish is just thick, you can run hot water over the bottle for a few minutes to thin it down some. You don't want to shake a bottle of nail polish to mix it, it can put air bubbles in the mixture, instead roll the bottle between your hands. Nice first guide, GL here.
