Anyone know how to get nail polish off clohes?

Ys kindly got hold of some nail polish and tipped it on a new shirt.  Ive tried nail polish remover (only had the wipes) but its not shifting at all.  Any ideas?

Thanks Fredd, I'll see if the chemist sells some dry cleaning solvent and give it a go.

Pure acetone will get it off, my neighbour knocked a whole bottle over her bedsheets and used that. You can get it from nail bars that use the UV thingys you stick your hands in IYKWIM
