Another Bad-Mom-Moment today. I was rushing to get ready before my visiting teacher showed up and Smith as usual was begging for attention. So I gave him a bottle of nail polish to play with. I only need 3 minutes and he can't get the lib off, so were safe right?
Next thing I know he has smashed the bottle on the tile and hot pink nail polish is EVERYWHERE!
I frantically checked him for cuts, were good. But he is dripping in hot pink! I better wash it off, but nail polish doesn't wash off, it just smears all over him, all over me, my tile floor and all over my sink! Now it's starting to dry and I have to clean it up before gets hard, but I can't put Smith down cause he is still sticky... I really did feel like a chicken with it's head cut off.
This is nothing! It didn't occur to me at first that other people might find humor in my pain. So I had most of it cleaned up before I thought to take a picture.
Smith didn't want to hold still for a photo either. Nail polish covered the bottom of one foot, all of the other and a few splatters on his shins. Oh and most of my hand too. It's mostly worn off now, except for his toe nails. Nate usually gets mad when I paint the boys toe nails, but this time he did it to himself.The tile is clean and I was going to repaint the door anyway, but if anyone can tell me how to get nail polish out of grout I will buy you dinner.

Oh wow. Just wow. I'm so sorry!
Nail polish remover or acetone? Those are my only suggestions...
I don't know about nail polish, but when we were moving we had to get LOTS of embedded crayon out of grout and comet and a stiff brush worked. Oh plus LOTS of elbow grease. Good luck! Now I will never succumb to the temptation of using a nail polish bottle as a toy. Thank you!
I was about to paint Selah's nails a few weeks ago. She dropped one of the small bottles onto the floor. The nail polish remover got everything off of the tile, cabinet, trash can and most of our skin. I got it before it dried all the way though, and there wasn't much in the grout, so I probably got lucky. I hope you find a good solution!
And I thought it was bad when Cala got a little spot of nail polish of my shirt after I let her play with a bottle of it...your story takes the cake!
About my hair, people have been asking if I've ever dyed my hair dark before...and I say, no. I'm thinking that what I did in Russia didn't really count :) Especially since my hair was smoking as you were dyeing it!
And I've thought about starting to make Christmas cookies, but I've resisted the urge so far :)
