Advice regarding self-tanner required ASAP!!!

Please can someone help me as I need an answer asap!
(I'm going to a wedding tomorrow)

I'm very pale and I used Dove Summer Glow last night (Fair to Medium Skin).
I did prepare properly by exfoliating and moisturising.

I was very careful how I applied it; I did it in circular motions and I really didn't think I'd missed anywhere.
But today it's awful patchy on my legs!

It's also patchy and there's white bits on my wrists and hands but there's nothing I can do about that.
The legs are bothering me the most; it looks absolutely awful and instead of looking forward to this wedding, I'm dreading it.

If people looked at my legs they'd think they were awful too.
So as a last resort, I was thinking about buying Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs (I have used this before) and applying that in the morning.

But my question is; will this cover my disaster-tan?
Will it cover the patches and basically cover my legs so nobody would notice the underneath tan?
If so, I'll go right now and buy some.

But if you don't think it'll cover my legs sufficiently, I'll have to suffer the way I am.
Please advise me asap!!

I'm the same, aka very very pale, yes i would get the sally hansen and use it over it.....i'd be more than surprised if it doesn't cover it all! I've been using be bold tan recently - have a go of that some other time, i find it very easy use! Best of luck, you'll look great with a bit of sally!

EDIT: if it doesn't work, it'll wash off anyway!! nothing to lose!

Thank you very much for your speedy response.
The only thing I was worried about was if the Sally Hansen didn't cover it up and I had to wash it off, it'd probably leave my legs looking even patchier.
Either way, I think I'll try Sally Hansen; I have to try something. I just can't go the way I am.
Thank you x

The Dove stuff is meant to be a gradual tanner, so it should build well - I would buy the Sally just in case, apply another layer of the Dove one after a shower and hope it'll have evened out by morning!

A second layer of tan and Sally Hansen on the day is your best bet.
Sally covers pretty well I've found, I don't know of any product that works better

Have a shower, apply another layer of dove, another shower in the morning and then some Sally. You should have no problems. I actually have a small floral tattoo on my foot that I hate and if I apply Sally Hansen carefully, I can get it to cover the tattoo, so you should be fine. Just take your time! Enjoy and good luck.
