How to Get Black Nail Polish Off a Fabric Couch

Black nail polish makes a bold statement that complements clothes and fashion accessories. Painting your nails while you sit on a couch makes its fabric vulnerable to nail polish stains, which typically occur when nail polish drips or spills. Since nail polish dries rapidly, treat the stain at once. The longer black nail polish remains on couch fabric, the harder it becomes to remove. Fortunately, common products can get black nail polish off couch fabric.
