Submerge the watch in the solution for about 10 minutes. This will help loosen the nail polish.

Step 3: Scrub the Stain

Using an old toothbrush, gently scrub the stained area until the nail polish is lifted. Take care not to scrub too hard, as this could potentially damage the watch.

Rinse the watch with cold water, and then dry it thoroughly with a clean towel.

Repeat Steps as Necessary

If the entire stain has not been removed, repeat the steps above until it is gone.
