Can I tie dye and reverse tie dye the same red shirt? What would be the process?

I got a bright red 100% cotton work shirt. I was thinking about doing a scrunch tie dye method using black dye, and then scrunching it again to bleach the remaining red parts.

I've never tie dyed before. My idea was to soak the shirt in soda ash, scrunch the shirt and hold with rubber bands, do the black tie dye. Rinse and dry. Then soak the shirt in water, re-scrunch and focus on bringing the red parts out, put on bleach, rinse and dry.

Would this work? Am I missing any steps? Do you think it would turn out cool or ugly? I'm thinking it would turn out black, pink, red, and maybe grey?

Tray 1 vs. Tray 24

I won't be on Tray 24 until late August, but I had to compare! It will be my final tray for the first round, I may need refinements after.

Clear coat that dries natural looking/not overly shiny?

I'm looking for a clear nail polish that looks close to a natural nail overall, like a satin finish or just not too shiny. Base coat or top coat suggestions are fine!

I thought about trying a matte top coat on it's own but I heard they chip and flake easier? I wash my hands a lot so I want something that will hold up.

[TOMT] old funny video of a black man fighting ebola with a spatula and oven mitts?

Looking for an old YouTube or possibly Vine video, also possibly posted during the 2014 ebola outbreak? Its a black man wearing oven mitts and holding a spatula I believe, possibly a mask? and waving it around fighting off the ebola and cracking up. Me and my sisters remember this but I cant find it anywhere lol
