DO NOT USE nail polish remover if there is any type of finish on the wood or you will ruin it!!
From FAQFarm:
"Do not apply nail polish remover to the stain; it will quickly damage finish. Instead, soften the nail polish by rubbing it with a cloth saturated in mineral spirits.
CAUTION: Dry-cleaning spot remover and mineral spirits are poisonous and flammable. Follow caution on labels. Use in well-ventilated area. Do not use near flame, spark, or pilot light. Do not smoke. Do not get on skin or clothing. If the finish is hard, apply paste wax with fine 0000 steel wool in the direction of the grain. Apply a small amount of oil to an oil finish.
If you have veneer finished furniture, a dampened brillo pad, used in a soft, circular motion will remove fingernail polish and not harm the surfaces. Rub lightly until polish is gone, then wipe away soap residue with a damp cloth. Brillo pads remove not only new polish but old polish as well. I recently removed a stain from my kitchen table that was 2 years old. I had tried everything I could think of and thought I was stuck with the polish forever, but the brillo pad removed it within minutes, and did so without harming the finish. DO NOT USE brillo pads on real wood surfaces. The pad will damage, dull and remove the finish."
Hope this helps -- good luck!!

YOu know, it's a hard thing to say without knwoing the type of wood, and if it's been painted or varnished, etc... Nail polish remover and goo gone would be the best bets to get the polish off... the only problem is that you are likely to remove the paint or varnish off of the peice of furniture...
You coudl allewyas try to be carfull and use a razor blade to do it... but again, it is likely that you will scrach the paint that you want to use...
THough, there isn't much else that I'm aware of that will remove the nail polish without removing the paint or varnish of the wood...

Yeah, that depends on the finish of the wood. I was at my friends house once and she had spilled nail polish on a table, and left it there for years. I started picking at it and it all came off with no damage to the table. So my advice would be to leave it there for a good 6 years, and then sit down and pick away at it! hehe, or just do what the first person said.

If you ever come across Joe's All Purpose hand cleaner, get some! This product works on just about everything. Just apply this product onto the stain and watch the magic happen. The lanolin in the product makes the stain disappear, and it also shines the wood without stripping the finish from the wood's surface.

Try Acetone or Automotive Paint Thinners .
Go lightly , Test first on a piece of the wood that cannot be normally seen , Just in case it removes the Existing Varnish or Paint

have you tried dubbing nail polish remover on the spot with a q-tip? just don't over saturate the q-tip and gently dub and dry, dub and dry...
