I'm not familiar with that term. Is it what we call "nail polish" in the US, the stuff that you put on fingernails to color them?
If so, acetone will melt it, however, that will probably damage the finish on the wooden floor. Since it is a thick layer, how about using a single edge razor blade to cut it parallel to the floor. You can then use an Exacto or other miniature hobby knife to scrape up even more of it.
Try a Q-tip in acetone to wipe up any remaining, but be very careful not to touch any area that you don't have to touch. When you are done, perhaps a drop of urethane varnish over the damaged spot to protect it.
There is varnish over the stained wood now, so if you are careful, you will not even go through it to touch the wood.
The acetone could also damage any coloring on the suede, the same way. Many leather and also suede items also have some stain on them. Their protective layer over the stain is thinner than on the floor, so be very careful there too.

try using NON-ACETONE nail polish remover. it will say something like "safe for acrylic nails". This will take the nail polish without taking the varnish. Still use it sparingly on the spot on the floor. Try putting it on a q-tip and rubbing that on the spot, not the floor around it. Best thing for the suede may be to put it in the freezer (if you can) and get it as cold as possible then try to peel it off. If you can't fit in freezer use a cold compress. If the cold dosen't work, you can also try to nail polish remover, but try to test for color fastness in a unvisible spot first.

in my opinion all and sundry staining a reliable o.ok.floor could be shot. If the stain is oil based you will could sand it appropriate decrease back by using fact the oil soaks appropriate into the grain. If no longer i could provide it a easy sanding then varnish it. you may in no way varnish on remarkable of previous varnish. A wood floor is in basic terms as good by using fact the training.

Cooee!
You will need: a hairdryer; tissue; acetone; cotton wool balls; methylated spirits; patience.
Heat the nail polish with the hairdryer; put acetone on cotton wool and wipe of surface; apply methylated spirits with tissue - continue this til nail polish is removed.
The Suede: heat with hairdryer; wet tissue with acetone (or preferably super-glue remover); gently wipe one way on the suede; continue process until removed. Gently wash suede in warm, soapy water. Rinse well etc

I wouldn't advise nail vanish remover on either-it will bring up the vanish. Try some white spirit.
