    Nouvatan depth of colour vs Suntana?

    So... I've been using Suntana for the past 2 years and am very happy with it, however with all the great comments on here about Nouvatan, I've ordered a bottle of 8% and 14% to give it a good go and use as light, dark and mixed to make a medium colour. I have used the 10% before but what I want...

    New regulations regarding the manufacture of spray tan

    Hi folks. I don't use OMG but I have noticed that as of today they have stopped manufacturing solutions above 14% due to new regulations. Does anyone know if the other tanning company's are doing the same or is this just a choice made by OMG? I use Suntana which only goes up to 14% so it won't...

    Recommendations needed for water proof mascara

    As the title suggests, I'm looking for a good waterproof mascara to use while away on holiday. I've tried a few of the cheaper ones but they do not give the thickness and volume I'm used to with normal mascara and I don't want to waste my money on on more rubbish. Can anyone recommend a good...

    Does men's skin absorb DHA differently to women's skin?

    I've just read on Facebook that when tanning men you should always go one shade darker than you would on a woman with the same skin tone as the tan acts differently on their skin. Is this right? Never heard that before. I don't tan men so I've never really thought about the differences I'd have...

    Make your own sticky feet!

    Hi Geeks, I was late in ordering and my sticky feet didn't arrive in time for a very busy nights tanning last night. I didn't want to just not give my clients any so I resorted to making my own. Jumbo pack of kids craft card, double sided tape, 15 mins and hey presto, 50 pairs of sticky feet...

    Suntana/Nouvatan 12%, which is darker

    Hi Geeks After reading so many good comments about Nouvatan I thought I'd better give it a go. I've just got my samples through, 8% and 12%. I normally wear Suntana either 8 or 10% and love them but because I have very pale Scottish skin I never tend to go any darker than the 10%. I like to try...

    Toe nails gone manky after foil wraps

    I had Trendy Wraps put on my toes just over 2 weeks ago. I have just removed them and my nails look disgusting like I've got some sort of fungal thing going on. What should I do to make them look normal again? X

    How to clean out tanning machine?

    Does anyone know if there is any way of cleaning out the HLVP 5008. Not the gun but the actual machine. I've noticed when I take the filter bit out to clean it there is always a bit of tan under where it sits. Not much but I'm guessing that after a years use the machine must have a fair amount...

    Top tips for removing a patchy tan?

    Hi geeks. Sorry another tanning thread, yawn.... I know! Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any top tips on how to remove a patchy tan. I've been tanning ages now and my Normal brand fades quite evenly so I never really have to actually remove it. However I sprayed myself with a sample of...

    Spray tan doesn't take on 1 particular client. Advice please x

    I have been spray tanning this lady for about a year now. I started off using OMG 16% which did develop but the wear was terrible and other clients didn't like it so I switched to Suntana. All my clients love Suntana but this 1 lady always wanted darker so I tried her with the higher %s of LA...

    Oddest spray tan I've ever had!

    Hi Geeks I've just had a very strange spray tan. I was blasted in solution till I was soaked then brushed over with a giant make up brush. Never seen it done like that before. Does anyone else use this method? I look a bit of a mess i'm actually thinking of going on the shower now. Not good...

    Suntana. Mixing %. Help please.

    Hi geeks. I'm doing a tanning party later on and I've just realised I may not have enough 10 or 12% solution. I have loads of 8 and 14% so I will just mix them but what ratio of the 8 and 14 will I need to get 10 and 12%? I'm trying to work it out in my head but I'm a bit baffled. Xx

    So how's all you Suntana users finding the 14%?

    As the title says, what do you think of the new 14% solution by Suntana? I have just tried it for the first time on myself and wow it smells lovely. I've only done my legs with it because I'm a chicken but the guide colour is looking really good. Looking forward to seeing the end result in the...

    Spray tan. Weird green bits.

    Every time I spray tan a friend on mine, a small circle just above both her knees goes green. I can see it go green as soon as the spray goes over the area and it stays green till she showers. She never uses any products or perfumes or anything so what could cause it? It has never happened while...

    Using normal solutions as a rapid tan

    Hi geeks. I see that Nouvatan 20% can be used as a rapid tan. Does anyone know if this would work with other brands? I ask because I have someone wanting a tan for 2night but I use suntana which has the usual 8 hour development time. Do you think I would still get a good result if I used the...

    La Tan 14% is really light!

    So I'm a bit confused. I usually use Suntana and love it but a couple of my ladies like to go darker than the 12%. I tried using boosters with it but they always want darker. I have bought a 14% and an 18% by La Tan for them as I thought it would give them the colour they were after but I...
