Red nail varnish????...quite clearly ...nothing!( but you should see the state of my nails/hands/arms/body)

[lynda66]

be careful with washing powder I recently did some hand washing without gloves on and my hands were red raw after.

I can usually shift most ground in grime with sugar in olive oil - leaves your hands feeling really nice too!

Sugar and Ecover gets dirty bike oil off my hands ... it should work for mere squash stains

[crazy_red]

Peroxide shifts most stains. Very weak solution, like for cleaning cuts, but soak a cotton pad in it, apply to stained areas of skin, leave for a few minutes, rinse, moisturise.... put on acrylic nails.... paint with Piskies lovely orange varnish....

Hope you manage to shift it before your big do! I usually do this with hair dye the night before some event.......

P.S. Making pastry often works as well......just don't eat it...lol

update....

Salt scrub has helped a bit ( and yup..it stung like crazy)

Washing powder???good idea ...will give that a go in a moment

...not got any fake tan...but an interesting concept

.....long elegant gloves...not got any BUT I do have my sewing machine here and a large piece of red felt ( Hmmmm..maybe orange hands would be less conspicuous????)

....no lemons- just clementines...would that work???

...love your idea janeyo...I could also try and distract them by talking in my cr@p French about M Gere the French plumber

Wash with malt vinegar, then veggie oil (or olive etc) and finally hot soapy water, which should solve the problem

now hair dye is easy, you rub vaseline or baby oil all around the hairline ears, neck and forehead ...... then apply the dye, then as its colouring up, rub round with a bit of cotton wool with baby oil on, and it will all just wash off

Don't know how to cure orange hands, sadly but, Wow Lynda that's a great tip. The times I go out with unintentional orange ears. Lol
Izi.

[lynda66]

yup, orange ears aren't great, mine were always black till i discovered baby oil.

LMAO,.....yup, I do the same with moisturiser, it works a treat....until you take your gloves off and realise they were full of holes....

I am actually wearing bright red glitter nail varnish on purpose today (honest), very festive I look too.........kinda clashes with the hair a tad though

I generally stick with black - it covers up the stained, composty, soil engrained nails a treat, so you don't need to worry what you've been grubbing in
