    Boots, tesco or any chemist. Just read the back of the nail polish removers. If they don't say "acetone free", they are usually just acetone.

    Acetone is better alright. You get it in the nail polishes but tis concentrate as such. They normally have it behind the counter so youll have to ask.. Dab in cotton wool wrap around you finger and even seal with some cling or foil and let it there for a bit should do the trick..

    Think you misread me! Nail polish remover, especially the cheap ones, ARE acetone.

    Unless they say 'acetone free', in which case they are something else.
