There is one method you can use before you have to sand down and restain your coffee table. Take a medium hot iron and take a double square of paper towel. Put the paper towel on top of the stain and hold the iron on top of the paper towel to the count of 10 or 12 AND NO MORE. Wait a minute, then keep doing it until you hopefully get all of the nail polish off. This is going to leave a dull spot so you can use oil-based polish for wood to bring the spot up. If this isn't working then sorry, you will have to sand down and restain your table. TIP: Women are notorious for doing their nails in bed or on top of a coffee table and I've done it myself. I use an old place mat and use that as my work area. If doing your toe nails use an old towel in bed or on the floor by the coffee table.

Take your nail polish remover and take a cotton swab and a rag and what you do is you put a little bit on your cotton swab and scrub with a little bit of pressure and every like half a minute grab the rag and wipe of the remover from your table because if you don't there is a real good chance you WILL stain you table with a white stain unless you have a white table then you could always just scrub it off without any stain until its gone.

You can peel it off or you can put clear nail polish on it and then take a cotton ball and wipe it off. It should come off.

you either gently scrape it of or you try acetone which is fingernail polish remover. the problem is that it may damage the coating on the table.

How do you remove nail polish from pine table?

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.
