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.

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!
You can try to use non acetone nail polish remover on it, wipe dry and repeat. Acetone will eat away at the carpet fibers. It probably won't come completely out of the carpet. For the best result use this method. 1. Dab with nail polish remover, do not scrub it. 2. Sponge the stain with a household dry-cleaning fluid following the maker's instructions. Do NOT soak. Open windows and air the room thoroughly.
To hide a nail polish stain on taupe carpet, first, blot the stain gently with a cloth to absorb excess polish. Next, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on a clean cloth to dab at the stain, being careful not to spread it. If the stain persists, consider sprinkling baking soda over it to absorb any remaining color and blend it with the carpet fibers. Finally, vacuum the area to restore the carpet's texture.
You need to be carful with carpet, and take into consideration what type of carpet you have. Some people have ended up with permanent stains because they have used something which has made it worse. Non acetone nail polish remover is good. Have you trid an acetone nail polish remover? Gentle rubbing of the stain with shaving cream.
Spray hair spray on it once it is dry and scrub it with a small towel.
You could try using nail polish remover, and if it doesn't work try a damp cloth not to damp and rub it gently on the area.
