Is it a leopard?
Try putting her in a little container with some wet paper towels for about 45 mintues. Maybe try to drape one over her if you can. Then maybe you can try to gently rub it off. Be very careful, because the gecko might become agitated, and you both probably want to get through this with an intact tail.
