Removing Nail Polish Residue from Skin: Does Warm Water Work?

Soaking your fingers in warm water may not effectively remove nail polish from the skin. Acetone-based nail polish removers or specific products such as "remover pens" that are designed for removing polish on the cuticles and surrounding skin are usually the best approaches. Warm water alone has insufficient power to properly dissolve and rinse off stubborn nail polish residue from the skin.
