In an emergency your wife's nail polish remover will do the job too as

( I have attempted to get her to use pure acetone on her nails as it
is much cheaper than the stuff she buys but she won't...)

There is a solution to that reluctance...the never ending bottle on
her dressing table.

I think that Ethyl Acetate is now far more common as a pigment carrier
in nail varnish and as the prime solvent in nail varnish removers than
acetone is.
