Why cant rubbing alcohol take off nail polish?
Neither ethanol nor isopropanol (the main ingredients of rubbing alcohols) are good solvents for the solid plastic material (nitrocellulose, or guncotton, and related cellulose esters) in nail polish. A good solvent is a substance that effectively dissolves (or in our case, removes) another substance. Acetone, however, is a very good solvent for nitrocellulose. That's why acetone is the basis of nail polish remover.
