Getting Nail Polish off shirts?

I was holding the brush to my finger nail polish and it fell on my favorite shirt! How can you get dried finger nail polish off of clothes?Getting Nail Polish off shirts?
This method should work for most fabrics: After testing for colorfastness on a hidden spot, sponge over the stain with pure acetone, available at beauty-supply shops and drugstores. Then launder the shirt as you normally would. Never use acetone on fabrics that contain triacetate or acetate (check care labels), because it can dissolve the cloth. For those, use amyl acetate, available at drugstores.Getting Nail Polish off shirts?
i believe you have to take nail polish remover, and get it off ur shirt like taking it off ur nails. And then wash the shirt to get the smell out. If it doesnt work, then take a cleaning pen thing and use it. after that it should be back to normal.
alcohol works...
U can use the nail polish remover
Good luck--I ruined a pair of pants with nail polish (it was a pretty extreme spill, granted). Your best bet is going to be either denatured alcohol or paint remover, but spot test it first--anything strong enough to get it out may damage the shirt or change it's color. You may want to consider getting help to have it altered in such a fashion that the offending spot can be physically removed (obviously not an option if it's in the middle, but maybe you could make a handbag or something from it).
Saturate the stain in bug spray, use a toothbrush to scrub it off, then stick it in the washer.
give w-d 40 a try.
have you tried washing it, if you have and that doesnt work you should try oz cleans special washing power scrub it works a million but what ever you do DO NOT USE SOAP AND WATER TO SCRUB IT OFF.it will just stain more and make it hard to come out
Try Goo Gone.
