kellybenelly83, have you tried this before? Or just what you found on google? I'm worried it's going to get worse and we rent right now

Only option. Sorry.

But seriously, my DH can't paint and when he tried he dripped little drops of paint on the carpet - I finally just got scissors and snipped off the very top of the individual strands of carpet.

LOL I laughed at the pic, but it was more of an "oh shit" laugh! I wonder if I should leave it and cut the top parts out??

Maybe try to clean a little section first to see if it helps or makes it worse?  The nail polish lines would be a much bigger pain to snip than the little tiny drops I was dealing with.

My husband is at home dealing with this. I'm worried if he tries to use a brush it will smear and make a bigger mess. So I told him to let it try from now. Maybe it will chip off??

It won't chip off. I would try maybe using some acetone nail polish remover. Have him spot test a tiny spot of carpet to make sure it doesn't have any adverse affect. Then try wetting a cloth with it and dabbing at the stains (NOT rubbing). 

I seem to remember my SD spilling nail polish on the carpet in her bedroom, and I think this was how she got it out. I'll ask her when she gets home.

I cut the top of strands and it is good enough that B hasn't yet noticed the spot...

That's all you can do. And wine. Lot's of wine

[shemarie82]

He knew he was just cutting the top of the strand...right?!?! Drink until it looks okay!

[singingsea]

@erin2021, what did he end up using? It looks like he cut the carpet(?)

He had specific instructions to not touch it... but I guess he thought he was helping. Going to have to make a stop at the liquor store on the way home!

I cannot decide if the spread out circles are better or worse than it would have been if it was just one big spot.

He didn't want you to have to stress about it. That's kinda sweet

I can't see the picture because I'm at work, but holy hell it's making me antsy!!!

[Deleted]

shemarie82, he keeps saying he should just continue the design all over the carpet and make it look like is should have a design.

singingsea, he realizes the errors of his ways at the moment, I think he is more upset then I am. He still gets laid tonight so I'm sure he will get over it lol! Honestly I want to be out of that house by October anyways. Once we move out it will most likely be torn down and turned into a parking lot. So I can't get too upset about it.

This is the exact same shit my husband would do and then say "You said to cut off the strands, so I cut off the strands! It looks fine." 

Just keep drinking that wine until it goes away.
