Just back from my stag do. I need to remove a load of bright pink nail varnish, all the shops nearby are shut...

At the moment I'm erring on the side of using a dremel with a sanding disk?

I've got some meths as well but I don't think that'll shift it...

Any ideas?

Cheap nail varnish can be soaked in hot water and then lifted off apparently. Decent stuff needs remover or a certain air of indifference.

He went to a stag do wearing pink nail varnish - maybe not...

Given it was YOUR stag do you didn't think to ask the future Mrs? Or is this pink nail varnish that you got doing something she doesn't need to know about 🙂

Cover the "bright pink nail varnish" with something a tad more subtle...........I would go for something like this :

Can't you just ask a female neighbour for some nail varnish remover?

I realise that if you're a Southerner you make not actually know your neighbours but I'm sure they'll help all the same

Well I was thinking, it's possibly not good advice if it was the OP's stag do, he's probably going to need his grip now.

For, uh, riding obviously. Ahem.

Right, having tried a wide variety of removal techniques, I can report that 'Flash Bathroom Cleaner', waiting 3 minutes, and a pan scourer has done the job.

I didn't have any cillet bang to hand unfortuantely...
