I have had good luck bleaching stains off my fingernails using tooth whitener, I use the gel (5 min. Rapid White)I put it on twice a day for 5 to 10 min scrub with a brush, make sure you get it under your nails also. and don't be alarmed if your skin turns white it is the peroxide and it will go away. Use lotion after washing to prevent dryness. This should help. Good luck.

You might try buffing your nail plate with a whiteblock (soft grit, cube like buffer). Your nails are porous and the color has penetrated. It's not just on the surface.
If bleach didn't work, I'm not sure what to tell you, but I know denture whitening tablets help sometimes.
What ever you do, be sure to wash after and replace the oils that you are stripping away. If you don't have cuticle oil, then you can use olive oil from your pantry.
And if that doesn't help, then just live with it and paint over them. It takes 4 to 6 months to completely grow a new nail plate. It could take that long to get rid of your orange.

Take the LEAF, of the flower and Rub it into your FINGERS and NAILS,That should remove the orange dye. Good Luck!

Soak your fingers in WD-40 for about 1/2 hour then wash with any good oil soap.

Well I am afraid but there is no way of fading a natural colour it will take its time
And the colors duration depends upon the sort of flower
You can also concern any salon near to you
Good luck!!!!!!!
You can wear gloves and its in fashion too!!!!!!!!!
Or simply wear them as they are u can wear little tatoos too on ur nails it will give good effect

Unfortunately, you are going to have to wait until the dye wears away. Your skin will absorb, and you found out the hard way. Good luck, but enjoy, you are now unique. Really unique.

This is my guess- I'm a henna artist. Use hydrogen peroxide on it daily, swim in chlorinated pools- those things will help but it won't really go away until your skin exfoliates - which it does every 21 days.

They only way to get rid of the color is to cut off your fingers that have the coloring.
