i have read a lot in here but i still dont understand why my gold fingers turns color from gold to orange
is there something wrong or is it normal

it is only the foils what is change color
 
If you are using the AP (acid peroxide) method for lifting the gold foils off of
the fingers, I have seen the fingers initially turn orange especially with fresh
AP and too much peroxide (H2O2) in the solution.

If you leave things alone, the AP with turn darker in color. Going from an emerald green
to a more brownish color. Be patient, all is probably well. :)
