My three year old got into my nail polish and has it on her face, abdomen, and legs and i was wondering what was the safest way to remove it.I am afraid nail polish remover would be to harsh on her skin.

You can buy gentle, non-acetone nail polish remover. Some even contain moisturizers. As long as you wash it off really well afterwards, I really don't think it will hurt her skin. If you're not going out in public in the next few days, and you don't mind her having it on her skin, it will eventually wash off after a couple of baths. Good luck, and take pictures! This will probably be hilarious at some point...

Get non acetone polish remover. Its much gentler. Matter of fact its so gentle my son drank some when he was about 2 and I had to call the poison control center. They said worst case scenario, he would throw up, but it is not toxic. Just put a little on a cotton ball and rub gently. Then maybe give her a warm bath to remove any of the chemicals.

I would try nail polish remover in a small spot and wait to see if her skin reacts to it. I'm pretty sure it's ok to use on skin. I mean how many times have you got it on your skin around your nails and it doesn't do anything.

Well, really the nailpolish remover will be the most effective... just make sure to keep it away from her eyes and mouth, and wash her skin with water afterwards. Apply some lotion to appease the harshness of the alcohol in the remover.

Nail polish remover will be fine on her skin. Bathe her right afterward.

id just let her soak in the tub when the skin gets wet it won't stick very well the faster you do this the better cuz nail polish takes awhile for it to dry should come off with a loofa or sumthing exceot the face i would try and get her face as wet as possible but nothing sticks very well to human skin except super glue
