Looking at the various material safety data sheets (MSDS) in proprietary nail polish thinner, they all seem to be proprietary formulations with varying amounts of a range of "organic chemical" solvents including: acetone; ethyl acetate; butyl acetate; methyl ethyl ketone; hexane; etc. So the best solvent would be a proprietary nail lacquer thinner. Other options include: solvent acetone; paint thinner; shellite. (I use acetone and it seems to work fine.)

How do you remove nail polish stains so your parents won't notice?

It depends on what item the nail polish is staining. It is nearly impossible to remove nail polish from fabrics/carpet/tablecloths because the nail polish remover will bleach and damage the fabric before it will remove all the color of the polish. Commercial stain remover products will not be effective on nail polish as it is paint based.

If it was spilled on glass then it is safe to use nail polish remover. On wood furniture it will also remove the varnish and wood stain along with the polish so that isn't good either. In other words, your parents are going to "notice" wherever you spilled the polish.

There are a few things you can use to get rid of a callous. You can use a nail file to reduce it's size just be careful not to get too close to the good skin.

In the same section of the store, you could get an exfoliant scrub and rub that over the area as well. If the callous is on your feet or hands, you can go to a nail salon for a pedicure or manicure and they can do it but it will cost you $20 - 40.
