A water-soluble and/or water-swellable hybrid polymer comprising: (i) from 5 wt.-% to 95 wt.-% water-soluble and/or water-swellable polysaccharide polymer; (ii) from 5 wt.-% to 95 wt.-% synthetic polymer comprising: (a) from 90 mol-% to 99.9 mol-%, preferably 95 mol-% to 99.5 mol-% of repeating units according to Formula (1)

##STR00001## (b) from 0.01 mol-% to 10 mol-%, preferably to 5 mol-%, more preferably to 3 mol-% of crosslinking or branching units, wherein the crosslinking or branching units result from the incorporation of a monomer comprising at least two olefinically unsaturated double bonds;
characterised in that the components (i) and (ii) are polymerised by radical precipitation polymerisation in a polar solvent.

Compositions are provided for removing nail polish that include a co-mixture of monoalcohol, glycerin, and solvent consisting of C2-C3 monoalcohol, glycerin, and a solvent selected from acetone, a C2-C4 alkyl acetate, and combinations thereof. The composition for includes a co-mixture of monoalcohol, glycerin, and solvent that consists of C2-C3 monoalcohol; glycerin; and less than 55% by weight of solvent selected from acetone, a C2-C4 alkyl acetate, and combinations thereof. The glycerin and the C2-C3 monoalcohol are present in a glycerin to C2-C3 monoalcohol weight ratio of greater than about 0.6. If the solvent includes C2-C4 alkyl acetate then the concentration of C2-C4 alkyl acetate is less than 30% by weight. The composition further includes polyacrylamide and water. The concentration by weight of water in the composition is less than the concentration by weight of glycerin. Methods are also provided.
