Try Warm Water Method
Take a medium bowl and pour warm water into it. Now, put your finger tips into the mild water and wait for approximately 15 minutes until the nail polish softens well. Take out your hands from water and wipe them dry with a clean towel. Grab an emery board and gently scrap off the nail polish from your nails.
