Once dried, it usually takes friction to remove the paint. Like a gritty cleanser such as Ajax, Comet, Dutch Girl or a pot cleanser like a brillo pad or soap pad. There are hand cleaners especially made to remove paint usually with a grease compound to get rid of the paint.

I painted today with high gloss paint and freaked out because I could not get it off my hands!! I tried everything and the only thing that I found that worked was Tea Tree Oil.

Can you paint with eggshell over a semi gloss?
No. You must sand the gloss of and them prime and then paint. Semi and High Gloss is only meant for wood not dry wall. Its the worst idea ever to put a gloss on dry wall. Any paint with an Enamel is just as washable.
Can you put high gloss paint over simi gloss?
I'm assuming your talking about house type paint and not something high end like car paint. If so, the answer is yes, but you must de-gloss it first to open pores in the old paint and give the new paint something to grip on too. To de-gloss, you can use sandpaper (150 grit and above is better) to "scuff" sand (just scratching the surface a bit, not really sanding anything off of the wall), or use a commercial de-glosser (such as krud kutter's "gloss off" etc...) which in most cases, you have to rinse off before repainting, but does do a more through job. If the old paint is really hard and shiny, you might have to de-gloss AND use an adhesive primer (also called "bonding" primer) first to insure your new paint sticks and doesn't peel.

What are the best uses for Matt paint?
Matte paint should really only be used on low-traffic areas in your home. Semi-gloss should be used in bathrooms, kitchens or high traffic areas where you are going to want to wash down the walls. I don't like matte paint because when my walls get a skuff on them, I can't wipe it off without taking off the paint. On the other hand, when there is a skuff on the semi-gloss walls, it comes right off and the paint stays on.
Can you paint theater rooms with semi gloss paint?
It is better to use a paint that absorbs light. A flat preferably. A gloss paint will bounce light off of it's surface causing a distraction when viewing a large screen. Most theatre's use Cloth of some kind or curtains as material absorbs light.
Can you paint over a latex high gloss paint with latex primer without sanding first?
You didn't mention whether you were using latex or oil based primer and paint, but generally the point of using primer is so that you can paint over it with any form of wall paint. Just read the label on your primer can to make sure it is compatible. On the other hand, if you wanted to paint the primer over the satin gloss, you need to sand the surface lightly to remove the sheen of the paint and provide a suitable surface for the primer to adhere properly.

It depends on the type and sheen of the paint. If its a flat latex then your best bet is to Kiltz the area then repaint. A semi to hi-gloss should safely clean with a standard detergent
