Explanation:

It is known that like dissolves like, that is, polar solvents readily dissolve polar solutes and non-polar solvents readily dissolve non-polar solutes.

Acetone is a strong non-polar solvent and nail polish is also a non-polar solute.

Therefore, both of them being non-polar in nature that is why, nail polish is able to dissolve in acetone.
