Yes it can, it wil be important to keep the temperture as low as posible since nail polisch remover also contains some oil like compounds.
But why use nail polisch remover? DYI acetone is much cheaper to purchase, where I live it can be bought in containers of 1000ml for just a few euro's.
The DIY grade acetone is usualy pure enough to use for home-lab experiments, you don't need to do any purification steps. Some synthesis require extra pure acetone, such as in an aldol reaction.

So I could use this to get relatively pure acetone from, say, nail polish remover?
