How do you remove nailpolish that is stuck on your cuticle?

I jammed my toe and the nailpolish I was wearing somehow got stuck under my nails on the cuticle. Is there a way to remove the nailpolish? I’ve tried to use a q tip but it doesn’t do much. The nail polish is literally underneath my nail.

Answer #1

there’s really nothing you can do if it’s under your nail. You can try water and stuff but you really have to wait for your nail to grow out.

Answer #2

You could use a toothpick

Answer #3

at my mom’s nail shop she cut the dead skin off and usualy the nail polish is under the dead skin. then she use a brush, dip it in acetone and use that to swish the extra polish off from the nail.

Answer #4

use a cuetip or a cottonbud and put some nail varnish remover on it&just rub at it and it should just come away:)x
