drink a bottle of water and brush your teeth. drinking water will wash it out of your body quicker and brushing your teeth will get it off your teeth.

I would read the label on the back and see if you should call poison control.

Instead of popping onto a random question and answer site try calling poison control. Acetone is dangerous to ingest, even a "small" amount.

she's not worried, just wants to show off her picture.

No the point of this website is not for strangers to medically treat you.
The jokes on her as most people use handhelds and can barely make out pictures.

Also that's a fake picture from the Internet.
Just saying.

It shouldn't do anything if you just swallowed a little bit

don't " accidentally " do that too often. it will erode your dental enamel.

I was watching this show where a girl who was pregnant did that ALL the time and it was probably the reason of her miscarriage! If it was only a little you should visit a doctor idk

Oo, how'd you do that? A little bit won't hurt you, but it's not good for you. Bleh. Drink a lot of water from now til tonight to wash it through. You should be fine.

Depends on what you mean by "a little bit". If you did this like an hour ago, and the worst thing you're feeling is wondering whether you'll be alright or not, then you will probably survive. Still, I have to ask: How did you manage to swallow a little bit of nail polish remover?

To Rustyboilerz: I do appreciate the heads up, but this gal probably has more to fear from me than I do her, but you may be right, she could very well be far more dangerous to me than I am to her.

It probably will not harm you if you swallowed a little bit but it all depends on the amount of remover you ingested. The acetone in nail polish remover might dissolve tissues in you throat and stomach if taken in large quantities. It would be painful and in one case a person developed diabetes.

I think it will not have any harm for your body, the amount is very little, otherwise, nail polish is not poison.
