Sunless - best sprayer and solution???

Hi,

I live in an area where there are no sunless options available. The nearest sunless spray on tan (magic booth or airbrush ) is 5 - 6 hours away. There are only a few tanning salons in town and they are horrible. very old beds and dirty.
So I am litmited in my tanning options. I look way better tanned than white...so I thought I would try sunless....Tried every brand on the market for creams...I get a good color but I find no matter how careful I am they streak. (oh and outside is not an option, we pretty much have fog every day in the summer)...b

I tried magic tan twice and loved the results on me...but I do not have fifty grand to spend on buying one for my private use...:sarcasm:

Anyway thinking about buying an airbrush kit and getting my husband in on it, to help spray me....(I do not want to start a business, this is just for my personal use).

Questions:

How hard is it to learn?
For a person like me who only wants to use if for personal use, what would be a good machine? What should I look for?
What solutions are the best?
What should I stay away from?
Who should I buy from?
Has anyone tried Nuress? it looks like it might be garbage because it is so cheap...Not looking to pay for anything over $500.00...excluding the solutions etc.

Thanks,

Cara

Cara,

No it is not hard to learn yourself, it's SO easy! I have used the Paasche Salon Model (I work in a salon) and love it. I am also debating on whether or not to buy one for personal use. I know Paasche also makes a less expensive home kit, and another one I have heard is good but have not yet tried is Apollo Mini Mist HVLP, which you can purchase at TampaBayTan.com.

Re: Sunless - best sprayer and solution???

As far as the Paasche goes, I was actually wondering if it was an HVLP. I'm not sure, on the website it is listed as the Salon model and its like $300.00. The solution is the California Tan.
