I spilled nail polish remover and the liquid ran under my phone. I picked it up very quickly and dried it off. Do you think it'll be okay? Before I turned it off I tried to make a call and plug it in and the speakers/where you plug the charger in worked fine. I wasn't really sure if the remover actually got into the phone, so I put it in some rice. Is there anything else I can do?

Nail polish remover is a very volatile (evaporates quickly) solvent and so it is likely dry already wherever it might have gone. It is made mostly of acetone (unless you bought a special acetone free kind); and acetone will dissolve lacquer and some other finishes so it might discolor or otherwise mess-up the finish. I would suspect that it is already dry but it won't hurt to put it in some rice or some other desiccant for a while. Shut it off and remove the case if any first. A hearing aid dryer would work really well it you have one or know someone who does. After that if it all works you're good; if not sorry to say I think all you can do is pay the repair.
Nothing you can do to fix it other than getting Apple to replace the entire display at your expense. Acetone will damage the coatings on any gloss LCD display.
