Tips & Warnings
* Dry cleaning fluid can be purchased at a home supply store or a dry cleaners.
* Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the carpet before applying them to a large area.
* Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet.
* As you blot, keep turning the cloth so that you are using a clean, dry section to pick up the stain and the cleaning fluids from the carpet. Don't rub.
* If using a brush to help clean the stain, always brush from the outer edges of the spill inward to prevent the stain from spreading.
* Do not use nail-polish remover as it may bleach the carpet.

You could find a piece of furniture to put over the spot.
Nail polish in carpet is tough; by the time anything gets to it, you wind up with a "clean" spot that is much cleaner than the rest of the rug is or will ever be.
I had a red medicine spill in a rug once; it only came out when the whole rug came out!

I'll never forget when my daughter was 3 (she's 17 now) she got into her older sisters nail polish and got it on the rug. Carpet Ruined!
I consulted every pro carpet cleaner around town and they said it's there forever.
Sorry.

Try a Non-Acetone nail polish remover. The ones with acetone will dissolve Nylon.
