How do you remove the smell of nail polish remover from your hands?

Question

I had to use nail polish remover to remove some tape residue and now my hands are awful smelling. I have tried soaking them in ivory soap and that has not worked. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Tooth-paste

Answer 2

You might try a little nice smelling moisturizer, or some cheap perfume. Or you could try looking at your drug store for some scented remover. And nail polish remover isn't the only way to get rid of the polish. What I do is put on some nail polish when you want to remove the first coat and then gently wipe it off. With it will come the first coat.

Answer 3

u could try using a sented hand lotion to cover up the smell. eventually, the smell will go away though. also next time, u might want to use a different brand of nail polish remover.

Answer 4

The only thing that I have tried that works is: I fill up the sink with water, and I pour in a half-cup of salt. I make sure it's all mixed in and I soak my hands in it for about 10 minutes. Then I take my favorite-smelling lotion and rub it into my hands rally good. Good Luck!

Answer 5
