You could try using goo be gone or even some finger nail polish remover.

try nail polish remover...in moderation though...the polish remover could further ruin the jeans.But, i guess if the nail polish has damaged them to the point that you are thinking of tossing them out,then i don't see why it would hurt to try polish remover.
I have done this before with my daughters purple Swede jacket and it came out just fine.
Just stretch the stained area as far as you can,get an old,clean wash cloth and remove the thick top layer of the nail polish..scratching at it a little if you need to.
Then there will still be more color on the jeans.stretch material out as far as you can and saturate the stained area repeatedly in polish remover with the rag or cotton balls or pouring it on there if you want.until the stain is gone.Each time you use the polish remover it will break up the polish so don't give up too easily.Then run the area under water to remove as much of the polish remover as you can.Then toss them in the washing machine following the dirrections on the tag.If you are unable to remove the polish all the way....do not dry the jeans.

take non-acetone nailpolish remover
put some on a cotton ball - not a towel or q-tips - it must be a cotton ball.
Do not soak the cotton ball - it should be SLIGHTLY DAMP - not dripping.
Tap the cotton ball onto the polidh spot on your jeans - TAP do not rub! If you rub, you will get a larger stain and not be able to get it out.
As the polish on your jeans gets a little damp, get a fresh, dry cotton ball and and tap on the spot to draw up the liquified polish. Again, do not rub - rubbling will deepen and enlarge the polish stain.
Repeat this process until the stain is gone.
Do know that this may not remove all of the polish, but it will substanially reduce it to a minimum.
This will take some time. Do not rush.
