Fresh Indulgence!! I started off with fake bake, then tried loads of samples and switched to suntana for a bit, then I read on here about fresh indulgence and saw the colours on the 'show us your tan' thread and asked them for a sample. The customer service was fab ( breath of fresh air compared to others I've spoken to) and the colour is just lovely. I don't normally tan myself however I now get my hubby to tan me in their 7.5% so I always have a lovely tanned glow! It's natural coloured, smells fresh and the wear off is great! Suntana is also good but I didn't like the colours when you got to 12% and the fade off wasn't as good, fake bake was good but not enough choice and my orders were often delayed. I've sampled OMG and found it a bit orange toned for my liking but I know other geeks on here love it! I think it's all about sampling and choosing a colour that's right for your clients! Everyone is different. I don't tan the high %'s as my clients prefer the natural look, when I get asked for the only way is Essex style I turn them down as that's not the tanner I was trained to be lol. Good luck choosing one x

I love OMG, especially the tropical scent! I've never had any complaints and have always been happy with the results :-)

I have tried all of these brands and Suntana is my favourite is its what I have been using for over a year now. Clients love it as the colours are nice and natural, they smell good and wear off evenly.
Fresh Indulgence is also a lovely tan but unfortunately wasn't dark enough for some of my clients.
LA was a nice enough colour once developed but I wasn't keen on the double dip guide and found it to be quite sticky after it was applied.
OMG I wasn't keen on at all as I found it to be very orange with a poor fade off.
Hope that helps you. Good luck xx

You need to sample the 4 you have chosen and then make your own mind up an what is best for you.

I have tried them all and when I first started tanning I stocked LA & Fresh indulgence but my clients chose LA tan over fresh indulgence so I now stock just LA.

Each therapist will have different opinions as they are looking for different things. Some will want natural looking tans, some will want a full range of natural to dark tans and some will want the orange 'only way is Essex' look.

The top 2 solutions from my blind trial were Nouvatan and LA tan. I chose LA because of price, I often try new solutions that come to the market to ensure I don't miss out on something wonderful but to date I have decided to stick with LA.

Never had any trouble with it being sticky, it dries almost instantly like most solutions do when applied with the gun settings perfected & the fade off is good too. I have always had fabulous customer care from them and orders always arrive on time with extra's thrown in.

Yeah I am, Tried Suntana today with the generous samples they sent me. Tried the Light and Medium and was impressed with the light, but the medium was quite dark compared to the Light. Just waiting on la tan samples, fresh indulgence, sunless solutions and fake bake!

Also found Suntana was quite sticky even after drying for a while with the machine.

I went with LA tan after reading the tan thread & recommendations then checking out the prices. LA had an offer too good to resist! Love it so far...
