Best way to get nail varnish out of carpet?

Tried to get nail varnish out of carpet yesterday and made it slightly worse. The house is vinyl click flooring. Anyone got a method that actually holds up? Happy to add photos if it helps.

Is it on the carpet or the vinyl? Matters for what you put on it. Carpet: blot off as much as possible, then dab with nail varnish remover on a cotton pad, outside of the spot inwards, blotting with a dry cloth as you go. Test it in a corner first, acetone can melt some synthetic fibres. Finish with a little dish soap and water and blot dry. On vinyl click flooring I'd avoid acetone altogether, it can dull the surface. Rubbing alcohol is gentler and usually lifts fresh varnish.
