The hue, according to Silversides, looked like "the color of a dining room table."
Another woman, Amy Ridler, gave Silversides the idea. She posted about it on Facebook in early February and, from the looks of it, was successful with her paint-roll tan.

We definitely can't blame Silversides for wanting a glow, even if a paint roller isn't really the best way to do it. Lucky for her, there are products that can rapidly fade heavy-handed fake tans.
