Did my nails this morning and wasn't wearing a short sleeve shirt

and my sleeve fell and I pulled it back up

Now I have 3 huge spots of RED nail Polish.

So here is what I have found so far:

For all washable fabrics except acetate, triacetate, or modacrylic, you will need an acetone-based fingernail polish remover or plain acetone and absorbent white clothes or paper towels. Be sure that the acetone does not change the color of the fabric by testing it on a hidden seam.

Do not rub or attempt to wipe up the stain because that can push the polish deeper into the fabric or spread it even larger. If there is a big glob, use the edge of an old credit card or dull knife to lift it up as quickly as possible.

Place some white paper towels under the stain to absorb the acetone (it can ruin some furniture and stone finishes). Dip a white cloth or cotton swab in the acetone. Working from the outside of the polish stain toward the inside to keep it from spreading, keep dabbing as the stain transfers from your garment to the white cleaning cloth or swab. Keep moving to a clean area of the towel or a new swab. Keep working until all traces of the polish are gone.

If any color still remains, try using rubbing alcohol or a dry cleaning solvent. Dab the alcohol or solvent on the remains of the stain with a cotton swab and blot away the color. If the garment is white, use a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to gently bleach away the color. After the stain is removed, launder the fabric as usual to remove the cleaning solution.

If you have a disaster with acrylic nail glue, follow the recommended steps to remove the glue.

Dry Clean Only Clothes

If the garment or fabric is labeled as dry clean only, the safest bet is to get it to a professional cleaner and point out and identify the stain as soon as possible. If you choose to try to remove the stain at home, first test the dry cleaning solvent on a hidden seam to be sure that it does not change the color of the fabric. Slowly follow the steps for removal from washable clothes.
