Devise a scraper of hard plastic by sharpening the edge of an old credit card. This will not scratch wood, but is effective as a scraper. Scrape off all the polish that you can. You probably won't get all of it off, and the only solution for the rest is lacquer thinner (nail polish is essentially lacquer). Lacquer thinner will likely mar or partially dissolve the finish on the door, but you can start weak, using a rag wet with hair spray, then graduating to commercial nail polish remover.

You might be completely successful, or you might remove the polish at the expense of a marred spot in the door - it's your choice.

How do you remove nail polish stains so your parents won't notice?

It depends on what item the nail polish is staining. It is nearly impossible to remove nail polish from fabrics/carpet/tablecloths because the nail polish remover will bleach and damage the fabric before it will remove all the color of the polish. Commercial stain remover products will not be effective on nail polish as it is paint based. If it was spilled on glass then it is safe to use nail polish remover. On wood furniture it will also remove the varnish and wood stain along with the polish so that isn't good either. In other words, your parents are going to "notice" wherever you spilled the polish.

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.
