Okay, so I didn't post this on my blog like I thought. It occurred December 8th of last year. But since I'm sure that someone will need this wonderful information sometime or other, here it is::
Did you know? Shaving cream takes fingernail polish out of carpet! I found this out this morning. Emma got into some fingernail polish and got it on the NEW carpet. I googled and found this site and thought I'd try it. I put the shaving cream on....waited a few minutes....sucked it up with the carpet shampooer (I dumped a cup of hot water on the spot while holding the hand tool right next to it) I can't even tell where the finger polish was!!! Here is where I found this info.

Hi, does this work for dry finger nail polish also. I have two little ones and they got into my polish and i need to get it out the carpet as soon as possible.
I have tried it on dry fingernail polish I found in my daughters' room that occurred who knows how long ago, and it did come out. Not on the first try. I had to leave the shaving cream sitting for quite a while (about half an hour). Not sure that this makes a difference, but it is berber carpet. Good luck!
Oh how I wish I had read this sooner. I spilled dark green polish on tan carpet. I tried polish remover and carpet spot cleaner and neither worked. My hubby had to cut the piece of carpet out and now we are having a heck of a time making the new section of carpet fit.
