How to remove nail polish?

I am all out of nail polish remover! Is there any way to remove it without the remover? If it helps I have tried rubbing alcohol but it doesn't seems like its helping a whole lot. And I wouldn't mind any other tips for healthy nails...But most importantly how can I get the nail polish off!How to remove nail polish?
Sometimes you can get nail polish off by painting another coat of polish on top and then immediately wiping or washing it off before it can dry again.





I also found an interesting article about how you can use spray deodorant to clean the polish off. I've never tried it, but this is the link to the article http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Nail-Polish-Without-Using-RemoverHow to remove nail polish?
Any product containing acetone or methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) will remove nail polish. This can include many paint-thinning or removal products, including lacquer thinner. However, these products can rapidly dehydrate human skin, and are highly flammable.





In addition, pure acetone has a flash point similar to gasoline (petrol) and vapours can be ignited by a nearby flame... it can also dissolve lots of common plastics....








Consumer nail polish remover is actually 60% acetone. But the remainder is moisturizers and water to reduce the impact on the skin, and to make it safer to use....








Polish can also be dissolved with more (wet) nail polish. It is recommended that this be done with clear nail polish, one finger at a time.








While DEET, the active ingredient in insect repellent, may also be effective, it is not recommended; it is also very damaging to many household plastics.








Another alternative is to use use peel-off nail polish instead.


also Acetone and alchol Do not peel the polish or your nails will turnbrittle also top of nail may peel off aswell.





If this is all too much trouble, nail-polish can be simply removed by first wetting the nails with water and then repolishing your nails while they are still wet with the same nail-polish.





This may have to be done twice according to the strength of the nail-polish





Or you can just buy some more nail polish remover. Live with it, or maybe just pick it off? Good luck!
If you used a clear base coat before you applied the nail polish, then you should be able to peel it right off.


One of the reasons I rarely wear nail polish is because I always end up peeling it off within an hour after it dries.
You can do it with new wet nailpolish, but I also found that sunscreen works too. lol...just rub it into your nails until it comes off. =]
Just paint a coat every 5 minutes as soon as it dries. Then in an hour, it will be so thick, you can peel it off!
chip it off with your fingernails.
If you have clear nail polish, dab a bit on each nail and scratch it off. It comes out easily!
u cud buy some remover, or live with the polish or pick it off :D
