Does bleach remove nail polish?
No, hand sanitizer will not remove nail polish. Hand sanitizer is made up of mostly alcohol, an ingredient that kills germs. Nail polish needs something strong such as acetone or an acetone alternative, like ethyl acetate to remove it. Alcohol, when used on a clean nail prior to polishing, actually makes the nail polish adhere better because it cleans the surface of the nail!

Why is my nail polish turning my nails yelow?
It shouldn't, nor should nail polish remover. Typical things that turn nails yellow are exposure to tobacco and smoking, exposure to the spice, turmeric and fungal infections. If your toenails are yellow too, think more in terms of a possible infection. - Use a base coat or top coat before you apply the color polish to your nails and then when you remove it your nails shouldn't be yellow!
How do you remove nail polish from upholstery?
Although I do not have the answer to your question, I am quite anxious to hear feed back regarding this problem. My daughter spilled a half a bottle of nal polish on her brand new leather boots and I have been a little gun shy to try and get it out, for fear of ruining these boots further..... HELP!!! Okay I had a huge stressed out day when my daughter split hot pink nail polish all over our leather couch, after hours of searching and trying things to get it off, my angel of a friend happened to stop by and saved the day. She told me to try HOT water and Vim. We used a regular wash cloth and a soft brush and went to town on it- it took a few hours to get it off, and there was some warn out spots but nothing compaired to HOT PINK-- after I touched up the spots that had faded a bit with a matching fabric marker (from the furniture store) and rubbed it with paper towel, then put vegetable oil on to get back the shine. You can barely notice unless you really look!!!! My couch is dark chocolate brown- this might not work to well with a lighter colour- but it saved my day!!!

If you are going to pierce it yourself (There really is no reason to, but I can't stop you.) then you need to use rubbing alcohol then get an ice cube to numb it and then take an apple slice and place it on top of your ear. Then you pierce your ear. The apple helps because you wont know when you are actually going through you ear.

Can you trim your nails with shellac?
I got a shellac manicure 8 days ago for the first time and just trimmed my nails today. I like to trim my nails on a regular basis so I couldn't bare having them longer then I was used to.
Good news - you CAN cut your nails with shellac and it's actually a good way to keep the tips looking perfect. Bad news - when your nails start to grow out you just have less polish on your nails.
Overall- glad I did it. My manicure looks better and my nails are exactly the length I like to maintain.

What happened if you get nail romover in your mouth?
Of course the first step would be to spit out whatever you could. Once you had done that, you would rinse out your mouth with water. If it got irritated, call a physician. If you swallowed it, call a physician. Unless you swallowed quite a bit though it is unlikely that you will get sick from it. Most likely is irritation of your mouth from the solvents used in it. Note that there are some nail polishes that use pigments that are more hazardous, including a few that use stuff like lead or other heavy metals - not a good idea to use that kind in the first place. If you get some stuck to your lip or teeth because the polish was wet when you stuck your finger in your mouth you are better off just letting it wear off than taking nail polish remover to it. The nail polish remover is a bit toxic and very rough on sensitive skin like your lips.
The MSDS (material safety data sheet) for a typical nail polish had the following recommendations:
Skin Contact:
Wash off with soap and water.
If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth.
Drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting.
Consult a physician.
