I am a nail tech, and this has happened to me several times! And now that my 2 year old is very much into painting her nails, well, let's just say I have gotten it out of carpet, the couch and a chair. She just won't sit still long enough for it to dry! Anyway, if you live near a Sally Beauty Supply, you can get a product called Nail Polish Thinner. It takes a few minutes, before the polish dries, dab, NOT RUB, it up as much as possible, then squirt the polish thinner, dab some more, and repeat. It has taken me maybe 3 times to get stains up, but you don't have to wait for the thinner to dry before you can try again. This also works on clothes if you get some on your shirt while painting! Goodluck! I know how hubby's can be when things get stained or broken...
