Can you pick the nail varnish off?

DS spilled a bottle of bright pink nailvarnish on our bed last year and I did originally try & get some of it off with nailvarnish remover and it didn't work, I'm afraid.

I ended up throwing the sheet away but the duvet cover just had some little drops on it, and I've just kept washing it and they have virtually disappeared now.

nailpolish remover wont work.
nothing will work.
learn to live with it.

i know all this because two weeks after dparents had sofas reupholstered, i was painting my nails with red nailpolish and managed to get an inch long drop on the beige/gold material.
it stayed there despite everything we did till the sofas were chucked. a matter of many many years.
