ice cream nail polish image

My friend and I got bored in class so we put pink highlighter on my nails. I used soap and water and it wont come off. Nail polish remover doesn't help either. Any suggestions?
Answer
try ice-cream.
seriously. the high-fat content might be just the thing to bond with it - my little brother had marker all over his face (when he was a baby) nothing wuold take it off. but he had a cold, and he was eating ice-cream and he'd gotten ice-cream and mucus all over his face - it took the marker off! you probably don't need to add mucus to the ice-cream.... but I thought you should know it might help?
Also, lighter fluid can work, so can oil - vegetable oil, (again with the fat content) or even motor oil can work to eliminate a variety of stains. - the oil in your hair might work, as well, Ive used oils off my face to spot-clean and polish soap-stone, and wood. It worked ok (but be mindfull if you try that as I understand soapstone is a carcinogen, so don't be lazy and rub the stone on your face)
conversely, you could use sand-paper or a little sanding disk and a dremel tool - if you've got a steady hand. then use some acrylic compound and buff it smooth again or perhaps their is a cheap nail repair kit. (probably safer than power tools, it'd be a shame to actually cut off your finger-tips or permanently damage how your nails develop) - actually, I fine grit sand-paper should be ok, it doesn't feel like sand-paper, its such a fine count. it should still be abrasive enough to deal with the film of ink off the top layer of your nails.
if you're not in a hurry, you can just wait till it grows out or else paint over top of them with something better. there is a possibility that the ink from the highlighter will bond with the enamel and chip off "naturally" or else get removed with the enamel when you use the polish remover. could always try a test spot, this option has the least likelihood of causing damage or embarrassment. telling people you picked your nose to clean your nails will get you funny looks, even if it works.
