HELP! Acrylic fingernails discoloured!!

Soo, I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the domestic goddess forum...

I made some curry and now 3 of my french manicure acrylic nails (done with white powder) are yelloW!! Aaaaarrrhhh!!! Is there any way I can get them white again? I don't wanna use bleach on my fingers if I could avoid it... Any ideas? Also, will bleach react with the glue in the nails? (or the gel on top?)

HELP PLEASE!!

Lemon juice hun.

Bleach will ruin the acrylic.

I am a nail tech by trade.

My fingernails are clean again! YAy! But I didn't even get around to buying lemons... I just wiped my kitchen benches down with my Earthchoice spray and wipe cleaner.... It must have something lemony in it, because afterwards my nails were sparkling!! :clap: Haha
