The active ingredient in almost every Nail Polsih Remover is acetone, it has a very low vapor pressure and so it evaporates almost instantly from the surface to which it is applied. A better solvent for this task is Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), it has a higher vapor pressure than the Acetone so it works on the Cyanoacrylate (super glue) for a longer period of time. If the countertop that you spilled the CA (Cyanoacrylate) on is a solid surface countertop like Corian you might have problems since it is another acrylic resin that could be dissolved by the MEK. For the sake of Saving possibly thousands of $'s, please, please, please test the MEK on an inconspicuos area first. If it dissolves the countertop material, follow the other suggestion and degrade the CA by placing a terry cloth rag over the top of the spill and pouring hot (not boiling) water over it. Water slowly breaks down the CA and the increased heat will accelerate the process.

You may need to use a paint scraper for glass etc. and use the acetone again to help soften the glue. Depending what the surface is you could try using fine sandpaper on the spot.

No matter what people say super glue is not that 'super'....
It will absorb water so all you need is a moist cloth using hot water and leave it on the glue for a long time, it will soften and lift off.

I have removed it from my ceramic floor using a high end steam cleaner. I blasted it with a direct spray of steam for about one minute and it seperated itself. I am certain it will work on a formica counter top as well. If you don't have one check to see if a friend has a steamer.
