nail polish remover = acetone. The safest thing I can thing of to try would be rubbing alcohol.

I second the rubbing alcohol, soak a q-tip in it and try to rub the spots gently. or, if you have any alcohol wipes around try those (I know most people dont, but I am a nursing student and they are around my house plenty lol), that worked when I got ink on my kitchen table from a pen that was crushed and didnt ruin the finish.

Eyeglass cleaner wipes have alcohol on them. I use them to clean my Droid all the time.
