Spray Tans: Halloween Costumes

 

With Halloween only one week away, Cyberspace is full of questions like “I need to be tan for my sexy witch costume.  Help.” And thanks to MTV, “I want to be Snooki for Halloween.  Can I spray tan to look like her?”

First things first.  You will need to decide if you want your tan to last a few days or if you want to wash it off the next day.

If you want to wash it off, you have two options:  1) Training Solution ($18/pint) and 2) Competition Solution ($30/pint).  But which one is right for you?  Because there is no DHA in training or competition solutions, they will both wash off during your next shower.

Training Solution (0% Superficial or 0% Withdrawal) is simply a bronzer.  Its main purpose is to teach technicians how to apply a spray tan.  However, it would also work for a one-night-only spray tan.  Because it is just bronzer, you will need to avoid coming in contact with water, so if you’re planning on entering a wild wet t-shirt contest…this is not the tan you want.

Competition solution, also 0% (Deadly or Intervention), is an extremely dark solution specially engineered for the bulging world of body building.  It can hold up to bright lights, body oils and perspiration.  Great for gettin’ your groove on and showin’ off the 6-pack Situation, still not ideal for wet t-shirt contests.  And when we say dark… we mean bodybuilder dark.

If you are a fan of lasting tans, be sure you get a spray tan with a DHA based solution.  These are your everyday spray tanning solutions.  Every good technician knows that for the best spray tan results, you should always stick with solutions made for your natural skin tone.  Go too dark or too light, and you’ll end up with oompa-loompa tan, which may or may not be the result you are after, depending on your costume.  With DHA based solutions, be prepared to wear you tan for a few days at the minimum—choose wisely when you realize you will still look like Snooki on November 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd.

However you decide to achieve that perfect tan for your costume, be ready for a rockin’ time!

All of the solutions described above can be found on our EnvyTan website in our DHA Solution section.

Spray Tanning: Snooki & Anderson

Hello EnvyTan Fans!

Happy Friday!  I am super excited today is Friday, not only because there are just a few more hours in the work week (who would hate a job as cool as mine?!), but because I have been waiting ALL WEEK to write this blog!

Why?  Because it focuses on my two of my guilty pleasures:  Snooki and Anderson Cooper.

 

The rumors are true.  They did have a date!  A spray tanning date!  After flinging mild insults over the airwaves, the two met up in NY for a little T (of the now famous GTL). 

Take your 2 o’clock coffee break in front of the computer.  Check out highlights of the odd couple’s “date” courtesy of YouTube.  Bonus:  He is surprisingly buff! 

A spray tanning virgin, Cooper was a great sport and appeared to be impressed with the results.  I personally was hoping the tan line would be a little lower!  Now he can bring a little color to CNN. 

Those sticky things Anderson puts on his feet?  Sole Patrols.  We’ve got ‘em.  And the oh-so-chic hair caps too (Over It)!  Check out our full line of Client Disposables.

 

Pageants: After Party Clean Up

Thank you Toddlers & Tiaras and pageant parents around the world for giving allowing us unparalleled access into the not-always pretty world of pageantry.

I can now breathe easy, knowing that fake teeth and wigs aren’t just for old people.

Staring at my TV, I am mesmerized and horrified by toddlers prettier than I am—and who, I’m sure, put more effort into it as well.

Always dazed and amazed at the thought of having a child involved in pageantry, I baulk at the financial commitment.

Luckily, for pageant people everywhere, EnvyTan has a solution…and not just tanning solution!

Many diehard pageant families already invest in spray tanning equipment.  But clean up and after care is equally important.

Not only do we have a line of spray tanning solution engineered for the competitive world (and it washes off 100%, so relax anti-child spray tanners), but we have several products that can travel with you.  You’re already paying for a hotel room, why would you want to pay for damages too?

First off, start with a good pop-up tent. Undercover: Pop Up Tent (and carrying case) has got you covered.  Collapsible and weighing only seven pounds, it’s perfect for containing that pesky overspray.

Seven pounds too heavy?  Check out Erased: Clean Up Cup.  As silly as it may sound, this 22 ounce lid and cup are your best travel companions.  Use it to wash down the shower walls without getting a drop of water on you (since seven pounds was too heavy).  It’s large enough to carry a few disposables or a bottle of our Lasting Envy: Spray Tan in a Can.

As part of the clean up process, don’t mess up those fluffy, white hotel towels with tanning solution.  Our On Location: Black Floor Towels or Clean Up Crew: Black Clean Up Hand Towels are perfect for cleaning up any left over mess.  These products are black, cotton towels ideal for wiping up a mess or wiping the tent down.  On Location contains 4 black floor towels; and, Clean Up Crew is a set of 6 black hand towels.

But what to put it all in?  I have seen SUVs packed to the brim with trunks and bags containing the best wigs, costumes and makeup collections.  And someone had to carry it all in the hotel and the up to the room.  Skip the workout and toss all your supplies (tent excluded….it has its own case) into our Entourage: Rolling Duffel.  At 30”, it’s large enough to hide a contestant! 

Pageant days are hectic enough.  Who hasn’t seen Little Miss Sunshine?  You may not have to push a VW Bus, but why not take the easy way out?
