How to remove nail polish without remover?

Answer by  Mj23 (65)

Nail polish is simply acetone. If you have acetone at your house, it will work exactly the same. The only other method would be to scrub it off with something gritty, like comet.

Look around your house in your workshop or shed area. If anyone in your home has paint supplies, they may have acetone paint remover or paint thinner sitting around, and this will remove nail polish.

If your polish has started to chip, you may be able to continue to chip it off using your other fingernails. However, nail polish remover works the best and is very cheap and readily available.

Nail polish remover is primarily diluted acetone, so if you have any acetone this will be just as effective. Otherwise, standard isopropyl rubbing alcohol may work for you. In a pinch, gasoline can be used as a cleaner as well. Please, be very careful when using any of these solutions.
