I left some nail polish out with the lid on, but some kids found it and started painting lessons on the couch! To save myself from an eternity without nail polish, I came on this site. My sister and I used nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and toothpaste! It worked! It took a loooong time of scrubbing and cotton balls but when you use them all, it works. Just remember to wash off all the toothpaste or it is sticky.
Good luck :)

I just noticed this dried nail polish from painting toenails this past weekend. Must have toppled the polish without even noticing until tonight, Tuesday. Panicked since sofa sectional is just a couple of years old. Tried to scrape it off, didn't work. Soap and water didn't work. Nail polish remover didn't work. Then I googled. Found this article. Tried it (polish remover, alcohol, and toothpaste). WOW! It worked! And it was easy! So glad I decided to Google for a this solution to my problem. It really does work. And it didn't take much scrubbing at all. I did use a regular wash cloth instead of cotton balls. It seems to have worked. Can hardly wait until it completely dries.

Hey I am going to try this I hope it works out for me as well thanks for sharing
I need to know exactly what you do with the nail polish remover the alcohol & the toothpaste? Do you use them all together? do use them separately?
My daughter spilt bright red nail varnish on my beige cord sofa! Nothing was working, so I tried this! Used vodka, toothpaste and nail polish remover mixed and applied with an old toothbrush! It has worked!
Fantastic...used Acetone Nail Polish remover, rubbing alcohol, windex and at the very end, toothpaste. After fire engine red polish had been wiped on my beige microfiber couch, I was convinced I'd never get it out.
My wife spilled bright nail polish on a tan fabric couch and your solution using tooth paste and alcohol worked after scrubbing it with a tooth brush!
what brand of toothpaste did you use or does it not matter.
thanks
Yes I used the toothpaste alcohol and nail polish remover and no luck with cotton balls but a toothbrush and it worked perfectly - -
I just used eye shadow if you have eye shadow or something use that and I chose the eye shadow the color of my couch make sure the eye shadow is atleast familiar
lve got nail polish on my platunuim polyester couch, dont know what to do, Any hints please.
I've just used a combination of nail varnish remover,ariel gel and water on my cream armchair,the nail varnish is purple so you can imagine the panic! Worked a treat and after using warm soapy water to wash it after it looks like it's all gone
Did you mix the acetone alcohol & tooth paste or do three different applications?
Do you mix them together or use them separately? And if so which one first?
I can not even begin to explain what a life saver this was. My daughter spilled bright red finger nail polish on a light colored couch, that isn't even mine! I freaked out! I saw this and figured it wouldn't work because nothing else did, but boy was I surprised!
Thank you! This worked a miracle!! I dropped a Red fingernail polish bottle and it shattered, splattering red polish all over a beige couch ~ nightmare. I used this formula and some manual labor (scrubbing with a toothbrush) and good as new. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Good it does work
I used this remedy but it wasnt quite working
I ended up doing acetone nail polish remover mixed with lemon grass oil! Worked amazing. I have a gray cotton/denim type couch with zip off cushions.
What alcohol did you use?
I believe it is isopropyl or rubbing alcohol. I would get the 91% or 99% as it is the most effective.
Great advice
