Nail polish remover is Acetone. A very powerful solvent that breaks down the weak bonds of chewing gum.

because it breaks down the gum base...the gum is basically a stain of sorts and the way you remove a stain from anything is to an over-abundance of the substance that forms the base of the stain, i.e. you basically "thin the stain out" to nothing.
