Questions about solutions (?)

Okay...so the first solution I tried out was TBT. Initially the color guide was the darkest. I just had complaints about tackiness, try time, color fading, and bad DHA odor the next morning, and it washing off quite a bit after the first shower, but everyone I sprayed w/All About Me 12.5% dark, Aviva Gimmie Brown 10% had the same comment that they didn't get as dark as when I sprayed them w/TBT.

Am I doing something wrong? I have tried to adjust my air flow, and then practiced on some large white strips of paper. I did notice that TBT sprayed out a very brown color. All About Me sprayed a reddish brown, and so did the Gimmie Brown. The last two solutions do have a better dry time, but my clients expectations of the initial color guide wasn't dark enough. I honestly thought that the Gimmie Brown would be the win win of all the solutions I have tried, but I'm not seein the dark everyone is talking about.
Any comments would be wonderful!

Re: Questions about solutions (?)

Sounds like the bronzer is darker with the TBT if it washes away after the first shower. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. My opinion is to weigh the differences and see which you prefer or keep trying other solutions. I've seen red in the 12.5 medium of AAM but not in the dark.

Re: Questions about solutions (?)

Are you sure you tried the AAM dark, and not the medium? I was going to try the All About Me DHA-free solution because I was assured by a few people that only the medium had a reddish tint and that the dark was a true brown. But after reading your post, I'm worried that the dark solution isn't a true brown shade at all. I, too, test my solutions on white paper to see their true shade.

Hi btan2,
sorry not been about to much lately however things over here in Europe for us have just gone ballistic.

Our U.S. website was hit by a hacker and taken down which has caused us no end of problems servicing our U.S. customers.

We are looking at ways of making our product more accessible and cheaper for you guy's over the other side of the pond....please bear wit us and im sure we can service you much more efficiently than we currently are doing

Thanks for your patience and understanding

best regards

I did not have any luck with the Gimme Brown, the color guide was great but my skin did NOT have the slightest brown tone to it at all and it faded HORRIBLY!
