It takes time and it takes patience, but it does work.
Its not like you can just rub in on with a cloth, or pour it over the stuck area, and it works right then. Sometimes you have to rub and rub with a cloth thats been soaked in polish remover. Or, as I did the other day, soak your stuck fingers in a small cup of polish remover. Gradually, they became unstuck.
Its best is to make sure you have fingernail polish remover on hand before monkeying with Superglue.
