Nail varnish remover! ;D
Yes really, test first on a hidden bit of carpet to make sure no dye removal occurs, small amount onto the stain, work in, then blot with a clean white cloth, flush with a clean water, dab dry with towel, repeat until removed.
Otherwise call your local friendly carpet cleaner!

ring a carpet cleaner you will need an extraction unit of some sort as the nail varnish remover will make the nail varnish dissipate really fast and if you not to sure of what your doing it will look scareyer than it is

Professional help is best as there is a BIG risk of delamination on tufteds (the carpet will come apart) and even the tufts can come out.
IF you decide on home use, as Paul says, nail varnish remover. Non oily is preferred. Apply indirectly with a cloth. This will be a very slow process. DO NOT rush. Do not wipe or rub. Dab and blot only. Rinse with water and a little shampoo regularly. A significant spillage could take you all day, but may still not be as good as professional 's result.
Ventilate the room well as the acetone vapours can become a problem. Take many fresh air breaks.
Yeah, get a pro in 8)
You could always try your house contents insurers, but a £100 xs could be greater than a pro's charge.
Safe and happy cleaning :)
