In the industry, a carpet nail could be one of three things. #1 A reference to the tacks that used to be used to hold down carpet on a wood floor prior to tackless strip ( the 1" wide pieces of wood with pins on it around your walls). Or #2 A nail to hold down those 1" pieces of wood. Or #3 One of the sharp pins in the 1" pieces of tackless strip that hold the carpet onto the tackstrip. There is also a reference to " stay nails " in the industry. These are 1" concrete nails that are driven into the carpet to aid in the installation process and then removed when the installation is complete.

If your carpet is non-synthetic - wool, for example - it won't be affected by nail polish remover. If your carpet is synthetic, nail polish remover will likely dissolve the fibers where it comes into contact with the nap. This is not a "spot" that can be removed. Rather, it is permanent damage.

Carpet cleaner usually works for me! Just put some on the nail polish and rub!
While you might not be happy about your daughter spilling nail polish on your carpet, I would say the only proper punishment for her would be to deduct the cost of having the carpet cleaned from her allowance or, if she has a part-time or full-time job, have her pay directly for having the carpet cleaned.
A carpet tack is a small nail-like object used to secure carpet to the floor. It is used in carpet installation to hold the carpet in place and prevent it from shifting or moving. The carpet tack is hammered into the floor along the edges of the carpet, allowing the carpet to be stretched and secured tightly in place.
