How do you get nail polish out of a carpet?

I spilled a drop of red/pink nail polish on my carpet which is a beige color. I tried nail polish removed and kitchen cleaner, but it is stil really obvious. We are moving out really soon and already got our carpets cleaned, i dont want to do that again for just one tiny spot. What can I do to get it out??? Help?!?

Reply:cant you just colour it in with felt pens to match your carpet?
Reply:yeah try WD 40
Reply:there is a liquid called "goo gone" you can get it at any hardware store i think it will get rid of it
Reply:if you can't get it out with "goo be gone", and if it is a very small spot, then take a razor blade and gently cut the fiber that has the polish on it. This can work as long as the spot is small and won't leave a gaping hole in the carpet. if the carpet has the longer fibers, then after you cut out the spot, find an inconspicuous part of the carpet (in the closet) and gently cut a few fibers; then with clear glue, tap the cut fibers into the space you cut out.
Reply:You will want to test this in a corner of a closet first to make sure it will not damage or discolor your carpet fibers but, I think it will solve your problem.Try using acetone or nail tip remover.It's available at beauty supply stores%26amp; retail stores such as Walmart.Afterwards wash the spot with laundry detergent or a dish liquid that's not antibacterial as you don't want to mix chemicals.
