Acetone is the most common finger nail polish remover. There are a few out there that contain ethyl acetate but most use acetone.
That said, acetone probably isn't the best choice for removing dried paint. The paint used to paint the frame is tougher than a home paint job for various reasons. I found a bike for my daughter that had parts of it which had been rattle can painted. Goof-Off did an excellent job of removing the rattle can paint without harming the original paint.
