I spilled a good amount of bright red nail polish on my black leather car seat. Any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging the leather. I considered nail polish remover, but afraid it will damage the leather. Not that it could be any worse than red nail polish!Removing nail polish from leather?
If you have fingernail polish try acetate. Blot the chemical onto the nail polish spot using a Q tip trying not to touch the leather with the acetate and then blot with a towel and repeat, keep on doing this until stain is gone (will take a long time)
From a carpet cleaner of 14 yearsRemoving nail polish from leather?
This will almost certainly remove the top finsih on the leather which will leave the leather exposed and then destroy the leather itself over time. Report Abuse
You may be lucky and find that it peels off depending what type of leather you have. If it does it may still leave a mark or remove the colour.
Nail varnish remover will definitely remove the pigment from your suite as well as the nail varnish, you will then have another difficult problem to resolve. No available cleaners for leather will remove this type of damage so you have to resort to solvents which like the nail varnish remover will remove pigment. Therfore this is a job for a trained leather technician.
Contact LTT on 01423 881027 to find a trained technician in your area if you are in the UK. Please be warned that any DIY remedies you find WILL damage your suite and it is best left to the professionals.
you might call leather shop, and ask them ???

Is it possible to get nail polish off without nail polish remover?
i need to get nail polish off my nails as fast as i can (long story) but i dont have time to go to the store and get nail polish remover is there any house hold items i could use to get it off ps.. ive been picking at it but thats not working so well thanks for ur help!Is it possible to get nail polish off without nail polish remover?
it sounds stupid but if you repaint it %26amp;%26amp; wipe with alcohol while still wet you can get it to come off. idk why iguess it like loosens the bottom pain?Is it possible to get nail polish off without nail polish remover?
Yes, if you have acetone or isopropol alcohol in the house. Acetone's the main ingregient in polish remover; the alcohol is slower but does work. You can cafefully rough up the surface with an emery board to hasten the removal.
Good Luck.
yes.it also happened to me..like uhhm i don't have time to buy some remover.me ..i just apply warm water to my hands to make the polish soft and then i just used the pusher to remove it.it's effective but you'll need more time to scrub it =))
Sometimes if you have like a clear coat nail polish and you put a coat on and while its still wet you wipe it off if might come off. Also 100% pure Acetone works. I guess you could also scrape it off?
Good luck
Maybe rubbing alcohol?
I would just take like a nail filer or a nail cutter thing and scrape it off!
use rubbing alcohol it works
Try using a nail file or sand paper. Works well.

How do I apply nail polish best (what are your secrets on it)?
I need tips on applying nail polish neatly without streaks and clumpy gluggy looking bits on it and so it can last longer.
I bought french polish set and it comes with the orange stick, rosy polish, white polish, clear polish and the stencil stickers.. and tips on that too thanks.How do I apply nail polish best (what are your secrets on it)?
Choose a nail polish in a color of your choice.
Make sure to have your cottonballs, nail polish remover (acetone), towel, newspaper, and clear nail polish.
Paint your nails in a well-ventilated room. The fumes can be extremely dangerous to your health.
Do not Shake the nail polish bottle as this will cause bubbles. Instead roll the bottle between your hands to warm it up. Open it, and scrape some of the excess nail polish off.
Paint one stripe in the middle. Then, paint a stripe on the left, continuing to the right.
Apply one coat of clear nail polish (base and top coat works best). Let it dry.
Apply your first coat of color to your nails, using only three strokes per finger and painting in an upward motion. Don't worry if it looks too thin. It's supposed to. Let it dry -- if it's even a little sticky, the next coat won't go on.
Apply your second coat of color to your nails. Let it dry.
Apply a last coat of clear nail polish to keep the color lasting for at least 1 more week!
TIPS:
Keep nail polish in the refrigerator. This will keep it from clumping and make it last longer.
If your nail polish clumps up on your nail, remove it with the nail polish remover. If the nail polish is old, roll it between your hands to warm it up. Then, if clumping continues, throw it out. Get a new nail polish.
When painting, keep the coats very thin!
When you mess up, don't stress up! Simply wipe it off with toilet paper and remove all the polish with nail polish remover to get the stuff that the toilet paper missed.
Remember that the top coat is the one everyone will see, and the one that you'll feel. Keep that coat smooth!
If you want sort-of a cool looking texture, wait until the coat is dry enough that you can make fingerprints on it, but not have to clean any off your finger. Then put your finger on it and it will make a finger print! It looks kind of neat from close up.
Run your nails under water after painting. This will give you the chance to feel any bumps without ruining the coat.
If you are in a hurry, use a hair dryer to dry your nails!
If you mess up, get an edge on a piece of toilet paper and gently wipe it off.
Use sparkly and shiny colors! This will get your fingers noticed and you will love it the most!
Don't be afraid to put on stickers or fake gems!
If you don't have the patience to let your nails dry, sit still, wave your arms around like crazy, or watch a movie so that you are busy while your nails dry!
Don't paint on a washcloth; it will make it dirty; use a piece of notebook paper.
If your nails keep breaking and the nail polish makes them look gross, buy some nail hardening fluid (this can be found in the makeup section of drugstores and chemist shops) which you apply before the nail polish. It will make your nails nice and strong so they look long and pretty when painted.How do I apply nail polish best (what are your secrets on it)?
.... put a little bit of nail polish remover in the bottle... my mums a nail tech... just a tiny little bit... like a drop. this stops all clumps and helps stop streaks. :) also dont buy elcheapo nail polish.... go the good brands you know of. :) they always work best.
With the french set. make sure you let each layer dry... make sure its REALLY dry before taking the sticker off... :)
Practise applying it with a dark colour 1st because then you can see where your mistakes are.
Ok 1st you need to apply a base coat. It helps the nail polish go on smoother and protects your nail.
Then you need alot of polish on the brush and start from in middle of your nail and then to the tip in 1 stroke, then 1 edge of your nail in 1 stroke, and then the other edge in 1 stroke and finally the middle of your nail again in 1 stroke. You only need to dip the brush in the polish 1 time per nail.
And after its dried add a clear vanish on top to keep the colour there and make it shiney. Hope this helps :)
Do it in three bits streak down the middle of the nail then a streak down the right side of nail and streak down left of nail, use cotton buds soaked in acetone free nail polish to remove Polish you may have dripped on skin, wait until completely dry to stop smudging and put stencil on and use color to go over tip of nail but do not go over and over as it will end up in a mess just go over tip using one stroke......if this does not work go to nail salon much more relaxing.hair ideas

How can you get red nail polish off jeans. I've already tried nail polish remover, and it doesnt work?
Band boxHow can you get red nail polish off jeans. I've already tried nail polish remover, and it doesnt work?
Perhaps the nail polish remover you used was Acetone-free, it's kinder to your nails.
Try straight Acetone - you can buy it in a DIY shop, I used it to get permanent marker off a painting and it worked. BUT it will probably bleach the jeans a bit.
Hope this helps.How can you get red nail polish off jeans. I've already tried nail polish remover, and it doesnt work?
hon it doesnt come out im sorry happend to me and i had it for 3 years and it wont come out so you should just get another pair
I've done that before, and couldn't get it out, so I had to throw out the jeans.
But I was just reading this thing, it says that a product called Krud Kutter will take out nail polish, and it's fabric safe, so it's probably a better choice than nail polish remover. I'm not sure where to buy it, try their website www.krudkutter.com.
Apply the nail polish remover to the stain and then lightly blot the stain. Apply detergent and warm water to make sure that you have removed the stain completely and then wash as usual with your detergent. You may have to apply the nail polish remover and blot several times to remove all of the nail polish stain. Do not give up!
Another treatment option in using the nail polish remover is to stretch the item of clothing over a bowl and affix it using a rubber band. Apply the nail polish remover using a stainless steel spoon, while letting it drip through the stain into the bowl. This may take a while, but it will be worth it if you have stained your favorite shirt, now won鈥檛 it?
It is very important to test the nail polish remover in an inconspicuous area of your clothing, furniture, or carpet to make sure that the item is colorfast.
Hydrogen Peroxide-Another Way to Treat A Nail Polish Stain
If the stain remains after you have tried using nail polish remover, then you may want to try a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Use a 50-50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water and apply it to the stain. Let the fabric sit in the sun for a few hours for maximum effectiveness and keep it moistened with the hydrogen peroxide and water mixture.
This method should be used only on white clothes or colorfast clothes. Always test in an inconspicuous area to make sure it will not harm your fabric

Is it possible to get nail polish out of fabric?
Use nail polish remover, but make sure to use a polish remover that is non-acetone based, since acetone will cause the colors in your clothes to fade. Don't forget to check the polish remover on an inconspicuous spot on the garment to be sure it doesn't cause color change. Once you've determined that nail polish remover is safe to use, place paper towels under the affected area. Instead of putting the nail polish remover directly onto the fabric, dab it onto the fabric using cotton balls, paper towel, or a clean cloth. The nail polish should come right out. If the shirt is white and not made of rayon or acetate, you can use pure acetone for faster results.
If you don't have nail polish remover on hand, you could dab with hydrogen peroxide in the same way you would with the nail polish remover.

How do I dispose of nail polish remover?
I have about 1/4 of a bottle left but it doesn't work and I want to get rid of it. Where can I put it? In the garbage, down the drain??How do I dispose of nail polish remover?
Just throw it away. It's only acetone and some perfume and coloring. It will decompose. Acetone is an organic substance. Even your own body makes it.
How do I dispose of nail polish remover?
I don't if this is bad or not...but I flush it down the toilet..Or I guess down the drain. Same thing. I don't know if it's bad for the environment or not, only because they DO filter the water a millon times before it comes back to our tap. But in all honesty...I'm not even sure if there is a safe way to do it.
You can put it down the drain, in the toilet or put it in a plastic bag and in the garbage!
LOL at brad's answer.
It doesn't really matter what you do with it, it would be easier to throw it in the garbage.
through it in the garbage or flush the liquid down the toilet
Throw it in the garbage.
flush it down the toilet
down the drain
dont put it it down the drain... that would clog it up.
Drink it
chuck it in the bin
but make sure the lid is on tight
neither you have to take it to a chemical treatment plant
dump it in the toilet and flush

How do you take nail polish off if you don't have any nail polish remover?How to take nail polish off without nail polish remover?
gnaw... gnaw... gnaw ;)How to take nail polish off without nail polish remover?
Nail polish remover or acetone (which is the primary ingredient of nail polish remover) are the only things I know of which will ';melt'; the nail polish to get it off. The only other thing I can suggest is scraping it off somehow, but that would unquestionably damage the surface of your nails.
Nail polish removers only 99 cents at the 99 cent store. Just go and buy some.
There is now way with out polish remover. I work in a salon, so i think i would now unless they invented something i havent heard about in the last week or so.Or you could try an file it off with a finger nail file.
soak your fingers in very warm water for a while and kinda chip it off
You can sometimes peel it off. Try soaking your hands or feet in warm water first that may help.
Just keep it on for a few days it will come of by it self.
k this actually does work. I have done it many times, what you do is put new nail polish over the old and rube it off. it works trust me
you can peel it off sometimes or put your hands under warm water and like rub your nail.
sometimes you can just rubb it off, thats how some of mine come off (tho then i dont want it off!!)
tho i RLLY recommend nail polish remover
