I tried this trick, it's easy. I know it sounds odd---but try it. Coat the area of your nails that has nail polish onn with another type of nail polish. Leave the polish on for about 10 seconds, then wipe it off hard (press down on your nail and wipe.) This should remove most of it, but wash your hands quickly after because the polish can get stuck in your cuticles :P
