Um... nail polish remover? Just a guess. I mean, I've seen nail polish remover sold in stores, and I've always wondered what it was used for. But, when I saw this question, it just jumped out at me that, MAYBE, nail polish remover could be used to REMOVE NAIL POLISH. But again, that's just a guess.

I'm sorry but this answer isn't right. First off nail polish REMOVER is used to REMOVE nail polish via nails. If you use it to remove nail polish from a table then you have the possiblility of removing the varnish (the product used to stain a wooden table) Then you have to re-stain the area and then you are getting into a process that's hard to do.

I'm NOT sorry, but the first answer most certainly IS correct, and the second answer isn't an answer at all. The questioner didn't ask how to remove nail polish from a wooden table without removing the varnish too. He/she simply asked how to remove nail polish from a wooden table. And nail polish remover, if its name is any indication at all of its purpose, will do the trick. The questioner didn't even say that the table HAD varnish, so possibly it's not even an issue, but for the purposes of this question, it's not an issue anyway, since the questioner didn't mention anything about varnish.

Moreover, there's not really anything all that hard about re-staining the area. 1 - buy stain to match the color, 2 - buy paint brush, 3 - apply. Also, if a table is stained, it also likely has two or more coats of polyurethane on top of the stain, and though nail polish remover might remove some of the polyurethane, if you are careful with the nail polish remover, you're not going to go completely through the polyurethane to the stain beneath it. Then it's just a matter of applying more polyurethane (if needed) over the spot, sanding it, and applying another coat. You don't even have to worry about matching colors, since polyurethane is clear.

In any event, since the second contributor didn't actually offer an answer, the first answer (though admittedly quite sarcastic) is still the best answer so far. If someone knows of a product that will remove nail polish without affecting the stain or the polyurethane, then that will be a better answer. But until then, the first answer, obvious as it is, is the best answer.

Also, the second answer says that "varnish" is "the product used to stain a wooden table". That is not technically true. Varnish is the clear coat that is applied after the stain to seal the piece and protect it from moisture (and nail polish too, for that matter). The polyurethane mentioned in the second paragraph of this answer is a type of varnish.

How do you get fake nail glue off a wood table?

First determine the type of wood oak, ash, or pine. Then the finish is it lacquer, urethane or french wax. If your wood table is oak with any of the mentioned finishes use a cotton swab soaked in a little acetone. Apply the acetone directly on the dried glue. After a few minutes, spray area with a soapy solution such a little dish washing liquid with water and scrap off the glue with the edge of a sharp knife. Angle the knife just enough so that it slides on the soapy water and catches on the glue. Once the glue is removed, dry and use a furniture polish immediately. If the wood is ash or pine, use nail polish remover instead. Nail polish remover is less harsh however; it will evaporate before it penetrates the finish.
