Spray tan?

Hey ya'll so I'm getting a spray tan for the wedding. I had a trial this monday and it still looks pretty good! I have some streaking around the boob area from my sports bra at the gym.

I have a waxing appointment for Tuesday so should I tan before or after?

So if I'm getting married on Friday next week, when should I get the spray tan so it won't stain the dress?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about spray tans but how much did it cost you? I'm super pale and considering getting one

I would tan after the waxing. You might get weird white spots if you don't.

I went to beach bum and it's normally $25 for the mystic tan but the girl there gave me a $10 discount because it was my first time sunless tanning.

I think if you do the airbrush spray tan (i.e. the one where you're basically naked in front of a stranger while they paint your body) costs more but I'm not sure how much. The airbrush fake tan is supposed to look better but I'm not nuts about the whole naked in front of a stranger who's not a doctor part lol

Thanks! That's not as expensive as I thought it would be. I don't mind being naked in front of strangers (years of brazilian waxes will do that to you) but I'm all about the cost of things, haha!

I get airbrush tans all the time....I wear a black bathing suit untie the straps. If you don't care about tan lines, its the way to go!

Crashing! I've had several sprays done & the best is by someone who sprays you instead of the machine. When I lived in NY I went to Brazil bronze in great neck. If your getting married Friday I would go Wednesday night & shower Thursday. Def exfoliate the remainder of your current tan off before you go. No lotion deodorant etc (get waxed before tanning -Tuesday). Let me know if you have any questions!

Genius! My dress has straps so i can totally do a strapless bikini and be fine.

Like, I wanna not care but I briefly worked for a tanning salon in college and the girl who did the airbrush used to CONSTANTLY talk crap about the people she airbrushed after they left. Like 'UGH that girl had so much cellulite' or 'this last lady was disgusting' bla bla.

I know some idiot's opinion doesn't matter but like I can't subject myself to that lol.

I have no shame lol. I personally will go topless & wear a thong but if I am planning on being in a bikini then I will go fully nude. She can say whatever she wants to whoever bc I dont know her & vice versa. Just make sure after you get sprayed that you dont do anything with water like dishes etc. Also, make sure they are careful with your hands bc the knuckles can get weird. Worst case if you have to remove certain spots there are ways to do so. If you want it to last on your honeymoon unfortunately, you cant go in the pool or ocean :(

OMG, what an ***. If this b!tch still worked there I'd munch on a cheeseburger while she sprayed me.

I totally wear the full cut boy short bathing suit bottoms when I go. Not an ounce of tush to be seen!
