Manicure with Spray Tan?

[Miss Pink23]

I have a Hen Party to do on Saturday and there is going to be about 18 girls wanting different treatments such as manicures, pedicures, eyelashes and spray tans.

My question is, for those that want a manicure and/ or pedicure and a spray tan I know do the tan last, but how long would be best to wait between treatments so the creams have long enough to soak in and not leave a barrier between the skin and the solution? I obviously wont be over-generous with the creams, but a rough idea on times would be great.

Thanks

Could you perhaps just do a file and polish if they are having spray tans?

You shouldnt use any moisturiser really. I am not really sure I usually tell me clients to mositurise the night before their spray tan and make sure there is no moisture on the skin at all.
It would be best to do file and paint like the above post suggests

You will be able to perform a basic manicure on your clients but without any massage medium being used as this will create a barrier and your spray tan will not develop in the areas where the massage cream/oil etc has been applied. You will need to explain this to your clients so that they are not disappointed when they don't receive a full service manicure.

I would as Jenx has already suggested just offer a file and polish. However what I would do before is offer your client a dressing gown or something similar to change into, as you would not want to ruin a freshly applied nail polish.
