    ok... had to ask sis about this one...

    she says if you are traveling or out of nail polish remover, just apply any nail polish on top of the already painted nail and before it dries wipe it off... she says it works perfectly if you do it right.

    You can get clear nail polish and put that other your purple nail varnish once you have done this quickly wipe the clear nail varnish of with some cotton wool or tissue and it should take off your nail varnish easy but it depends how long you have had it on for if you have only just put it on one swipe would work but if you have had it on for a while you might have to do it 2 to 3 times with a couple of swipes. But it works for me all the time no matter how stubborn my nail polish is, hope this works for you

    If you have clear nail polish, put that one one nail at a time and let it wait a few seconds, then whipe it off and rub it with tissue. It won't take off all the colour but probably enough to get most of it off. Then use a colour you like to cover it up until you have time to buy more nail polish.

    You might try alcohol or peroxide???? Just a wild guess but it just might work....where did you *put* this nail polish? Is it in an "odd" place where you need it off right away? I need more details!!! Details! Details!

    you can put another time from the nail polish and take it off as soon as you put it; each finger alone; don't let it dry!remove it as soon as you put it...
