My 4yr old son got into my nail polish and now has it all over his hands whats the quickest and safest way to get it off

This happened to my son several times! I used nail polish remover, then immediately washed his hands with lots of soapy water. Nice hot bubble baths seemed to helpo a little too, because of the soaking.
Basically, it'll wear off soon.
Good luck!:0)

Use acetone-free nail polish remover, then wash the child's hands thouroughly with soap and water.
Then put the nail polish far, far away..LOL
Good Luck

I would think that it would be okay is you use nail polish remover. Once you have gotten rid of all the nail polish, then I would suggest you wash their hands thoroughly. After that, then apply some lotion to replace any of the moisture to their hands from the drying effect of the acetone. That is just my opinion...

non-acetone nail polish removed quickly with a cotton ball. Don't let him breath the stuff if you can help it. Then wash well with moisturing hand soap and warm water til odor is gone. Hide your nailpolish in the future, HE could have ate it, or got it all over the house,

Just use polish remover and then wash his hands with soap and water he'll be fine. I am a licensed manicurist and my kids get into my stuff all the time, just make sure you wash with soap after you get it off. The polish will hurt him more than the remover.

A NON-acetone nail polish remover will do the trick. You will want to minimize exposion, of course, but quick contact should cause no irritation. Alternatively, soap and water (and persistance) will do the trick.
Good luck!

just buy an acetone or a nail polish remover together with cotton ball and after you wash your hands with soap and water immediately
