I’ve already tried carpet cleaner, nail polish remover, and bleach.
Its black nail polish on a light beige carpet.

Please help! Thanks.

    Tip #1: Any non-acetone finger nail polish remover will take that off and not hurt the carpet.
    Tip #11: Windex

    As weird as it sounds, hairspray.
    Try spraying it on the spot, let it dry, and then brushing it up with a comb, or abrasive medium.
    If that doesn’t work, spray it again, and blot the damp carpet with a DARK towel.

    I spilled BLACK nail polish on our WHITE carpet, and got a most of it out with hairspray.

    I wish you the best of luck!

    I had the same problem and i read somewhere to try rubbing in some toothpaste and/or dab some more on the same spot and let it sit for a while (2-5 hrs) then gently rub out with a wet washcloth
