Pony nail polish?

[Mewtwofan1]

Greetings all! I was looking through a lot I got last year, taking stock and creating a list of what I need to restore some ponies. I was looking at one of my two December Holly, and one of them has these little pink splotches.

I don’t know what exactly they are, a so soft sundance in the lot also has them but only on the edges of her hooves. I’m thinking it might be some of the “posey rosey nail polish” that came with the poof n puff perfume palace, but I cannot be sure since I’ve never seen a bottle myself.
I was hoping someone can confirm it is the nail polish (or if it isn’t, what it might be) and any tips on how to remove it. I was going to try magic eraser or something, but I figured I should ask for tips in case that’s not how to remove pony polish.


(Moving over to the Corral as this is restoration-based and may net you more answers, thanks! ~Tailrustedtealeaf)

It does look like nail polish, have you tried acetone as that's in nail polish remover?

I would try nail polish remover first

If it were actually pony polish it would peel off. My sister had the Perfume Puff palace as a kid and I had Star Gleamer. We both may have done some decorating, but the polish peeled off with time.

I don't remember the exact shade of the palace's polish though.

There is some risk of it discolouring the plastic but I can't remember it doing major damage to any of my ponies. IF that is what it is (it may belong to a generic/other toy line of course, or may be actual polish)

Thanks all for the responses! I wasn’t sure if pony polish had some special pony polish remover (sold separately) since I never had any. Interesting how it supposedly peels off.
The acetone worked well in removing the bulk of the substance, and I think a bit more time and elbow grease could remove the rest (might be staining, but fingers crossed it’s not permanent). I had to stop because the power went out in my house, and the ventilation fan doesn’t work well without power. So now I’m spending my day removing any other surface dirt I found on them!
