Because if you don't it will spoil and then won't take off your nail polish +++ It won't spoil, but will evaporate away! I don't use nail varnish (I'm a bloke!) but I've always understood that nail varnish remover is acetone or similar solvent, so very volatile at room temperature.

A higher vapor pressure.

Nail polish remover is usually based on acetone, which has a boiling point of 56 degrees Celcius. "Methylated spirits" (methanol) has a slightly higher boiling point (65 degrees Celcius), and those of ethanol and water are even higher (78 and 100 respectively).

Nail polish remover evaporates faster than vinegar because it has a higher vapor pressure, and this is because it has weaker forces of attraction holding the molecules together (weaker intermolecular forces).

Nail polish remover is a volatile solvent, and that solvent is usually acetone. It will evaporate because evaporation is in its nature.

The solvent for most nail polish remover is acetone, which has a lower boiling point and energy of vaporization than water, meaning it will evaporate more easily.

How do you get super bond remover oil out of your hair?

I have a full head of long extentions...my real hair is a pixie cut. So I ran into this problem when I first got them. Acetone nail polish remover is the only thing that worked!

Slap yourself in the back of the head for letting her have access to nail polish remover in the first place (this stuff does nasty things to the liver with long periods of contact). Second sit her down and teach her how to clean her piercings and jewellery properly, using soap and water on the piercings, soap and water then soak the jewellery in 70% alcohol before putting them back in. Parental supervision is a requirement when using alcohol or any other harmful products (nail polish and nail polish remover).


How dangerous is nail polish remover?

Nail polish remover really isn't too dangerous. Well..I wouldn't call it dangerous. You just have to watch how much you breathe in. Some people use it to get high and it does work... But just using it for what it is made for is perfectly fine. Just don't put the bottle up to your nose and sniff it for a long time..that is very dangerous and makes you really dizzy and blahhh haha so..take my advice and only use it to take off nail polish or to get sap off your hands..that works haha. iloveyou (:
