I can't take it off with soap and water and I'm afraid of using acetone because I know it's bad for the skin.
Any opinions other than waiting for them to slowly peel off?

I only just tried it on my thumb the first time. Plan to redo them all today. I would go ahead and use polish remover to get it off. Then wash hands and moisturizr right away. Hope the tape trick works for you. I will try to find the video I watched for you.

I would use non acetone nail polish remover to remove the paint from the skin. If you don't have any I would just use the acetone nail polish remover and then make sure you wash your hands good with soap and use lots of lotion afterwards.

Ice seen that they put Vaseline on the skin before so the nail polish doesn't stick.

Maybe next time put tape around your nails first? Or if not try getting a nail polish without acetone (: then you can remove then (:
I think your nails look really pretty!

Remove it with acetone but with a q-tip.

I ended up just taking an amazing bubble bath and the polish came off my fingers once it soaked long enough. Here's a pic :) thanks for the compliments too!

Natasha I love the way the middle one is straight and the other ones point towards the center at the tip! Very pretty colors too! Makes me think of a royal outfit.

Regina, thanks so much for the video! Yours look so much better though! I want to do it like your red, black and white thumb or your purple, pink, black and white middle finger. Great job!!

Thanks Crystal. I watched another video by the same person znd she also used cuticle oil around the finger instead of tape. I might try that next time. I love your nails as well. The colors are beautiful and make me wish for Spring weather. :-)
Antoinette: First off, I love your name! Secondly, the reason I only have every other finger with the marble on it is b/c I kept screwing it up. haha :-). Trying to do all fingers AND have them turn out somewhat similar is actually very difficult. I used the same color, number of drops, and same pattern but they are not that similar. Thankfully my awesome stepdaughter was there to lend a helping hand. Keep trying, and maybe watch that video I posted. Once you get it you will love it. Bravo to Crystal for doing all of her fingers and making them look so great!
