It may or may not be effective. Traditional lacquer is a nitrocellulose-based coating. Thinners for nitrocellulose include acetone and ethanol (drinking alcohol).

If what's on your brushes isn't lacquer, lacquer thinner may not work as well as a thinner designed for the coating, and it may not work at all.If you already have lacquer thinner somewhere, or some nail polish remover, why not try a little bit to see if it works?
