Calling all CCer's!!!!!
Does anybody know how to get royal blue gel color off of your fingers?
I look diseased
The Magic Erasers work well. I also find just hopping in the shower and really washing/scrubbing my hair helps get it off!

I have found this is the best way to get it off for me too. It usually doesn't get it all off, just the bulk of it. The rest wears off in about a day if I wash my hands a lot.
Thanks for the tip about the "Magic Eraser" from what I hear these things can clean up near bout anything.
Also, I will remember next time to use latex gloves. I use them with fondant, I should have remembered to use them with the colors!
Thank y'all a lot!!
try a tad of bleach in the soap water...just a little like 1/2 cap full. or some vodka...it lifts colours too.
I have read on here that some people use toothpaste, also lava soap will work. Good luck
yeah, isn't it something that it takes a few days to wear off your skin, but on a cake it fades like nobody's bidness!
JUST A NOTE... those of you who use gloves might want to consider using vinyl gloves instead of latex. There are lots of folks out there with SEVERE latex allergies.. My good friend is one of them, and it is a tough allergy to deal with.
For the really tough to remove stains, I take one of those pumice stones and a couple of rubs and the majority of the color is gone.
Harsh, I know, but it works
Be careful with those Magic Erasers....I was asked by my DD to get sharpie off her hand, and I tried on of those. It abraded her skin, and it took quite a while for it to feel ok again! I felt like such a horrible mother....

LOL...I totally vote for Vodka!!!! You can drink it after...no waste
It's hell on your hands, but get a nice squirt of softscrub cleanser with bleach and just scrub em down. Your skin will be very dry afterwards, and you'll want to be sure to rinse extremely well. Just drench your hands in a good moisturizer afterwards. It won't be fun, but it's better than looking cyanotic.
I put a little splash of straight bleach in my sink and rub my fingers in it until the color wears off.
It's not a great solution for you "Naturalists" out there, but for me it's better than looking like I finger paint my cakes!!!!
I have used hairspray. I use hairspray to get ink pen stains off of things. I tried it on my hands and it worked. ( I think it might be the alcohol in it)
