Answer

Do not apply nail polish remover to the stain; it will quickly damage finish. Instead, soften the nail polish by rubbing it with a cloth saturated in mineral spirits.

CAUTION: Dry-cleaning spot remover and mineral spirits are poisonous and flammable. Follow caution on labels. Use in well-ventilated area. Do not use near flame, spark, or pilot light. Do not smoke. Do not get on skin or clothing. If the finish is hard, apply paste wax with fine 0000 steel wool in the direction of the grain. Apply a small amount of oil to an oil finish.

Answer

If you have veneer finished furniture, a dampened brillo pad, used in a soft, circular motion will remove fingernail polish and not harm the surfaces. Rub lightly until polish is gone, then wipe away soap residue with a damp cloth. Brillo pads remove not only new polish but old polish as well. I recently removed a stain from my kitchen table that was 2 years old. I had tried everything I could think of and thought I was stuck with the polish forever, but the brillo pad removed it within minutes, and did so without harming the finish. DO NOT USE brillo pads on real wood surfaces. The pad will damage, dull and remove the finish.
