before you go to the remover, try just letting him take an extra long bath and then gently "exfoliate" the polish off with a damp washcloth. it might come right off his skin.

Listen to Deb R.! I actually always make sure to paint my toes before I am taking a shower. Once my toes are good and raisiny I rub my mess ups off.
Beautiful results! :)

Hi D.,

If you have access to a product called Solumel it will come right off. That's the only thing I will let my daughter to use to remove her nail polish. It is a natural solvent with a base of melaleuca alternafolia oil. The product is so safe it doesn't even require a child proof cap.

God bless,

You can purchase non acetone polish remover, but it should be fine on his skin. Just be sure to give him a good bath afterwards.

I'd use remover (quickly) but have some water to wash him off ASAP. The water is neutral and stops the "remover" from removing/working.
