For Week 2 of Dancing with the Stars, South Seas Skin Care owner Julie Nostrand created a rich, camera-ready glow for professional dancer Hailey Bills.
Julie applied two coats of Espresso Rapid Tan Solution and customized the formula with six Bali Bronzer Drops. The drops enhanced the Espresso Rapid base with natural mahogany tones, adding warmth and dimension to Hailey’s color.
Hailey rinsed at two hours, removing the cosmetic bronzer while allowing her sunless color to continue developing. The result was a polished, performance-ready tan created on a schedule that works beautifully for the fast pace of show week.

A Note About DWTS Tanning and Touch-Ups
The dancers’ schedules and tanning routines can vary from week to week. While Julie personally sprays many of the dancers, some may occasionally choose to complete their own at-home application. When South Seas is not involved in an application, the resulting color and finish are outside our control.
Before stepping onto the ballroom floor, every dancer visits the Dancing with the Stars makeup artist on hand. This allows any finishing touches or last-minute color adjustments to be completed so each performer looks polished and stage-ready.
