Norvell Premium Spray Tan Solution Venetian 1 Liter – Professional Sunless Tanning Formula for Natural Bronze Glow, Streak-Free, Fast-Drying, Long-Lasting Color

I am not a spray tan expert or professional; strictly a beginner. If you have a spray technique you like, certainly stick with it.My experience with spray tans was limited to my daughter's yearly requirement to have one prior to her cheer competition. After a few years of this expense, I decided to order my own supplies and try to apply it myself. For the cost of one tan, I could purchase an entire bottle of solution. Makes sense, right? Knowing nothing about spray tans, I decided on this product after trying to make sense out of endless reviews. I tried to pick out some type of spraying device, but that became too confusing so I decided to just buy the solution and figure out the rest later.The solution arrived quickly and I could not wait to try it. I still had no spraying device, but I had to do something (is anyone else impulsive, or is it just me?). I forced my son to be my tanning experiment. He has medium/dark skin tone. After his shower, I applied it to his legs while they were still damp, but not dripping wet. I used a small synthetic sponge (the plastic kind) and rubbed it in thoroughly with a latex-gloved hand. The results were spectacular! The color was rich and flattering, not orangey. No weird smells, no grease. It was a natural look. I did it without spraying. I could call it a "sponge tan" or a "rub tan," but that sounds rather strange.Bolstered by my success, I moved on to other family members. My daughter was my next victim, at her request. I was concerned how it would look on her, as her skin is very fair. It looked good on her too! Lastly, I applied it to myself. We now look like a family who just returned from some exotic vacation. No one turned orange or looked spotted. Nice color without the harmful effects of too much sun exposure.I am pleased with the results, but I realize everyone has different expectations. If you choose to apply this product without a spraying device and without any experience, here are a few lesson I learned.*The solution has a colorant to let you know where it is and how it has been applied - look closely. Be sure to keep it even! Reapply and rub whenever necessary. For small spots that need to even out, dipping a gloved finger into the solution and rubbing it precisely where it is needed works for me.*Experiment with the level of moisture you like skin to have when applying a tan.*Do not be in a hurry! Do not apply in low lighting! Time and bright light help significantly. Probably common sense for the non-impulsive personalities out there.*Please use gloves! The colorant is not very forgiving. A latex glove works best, but the free ones that come with hair coloring kits will work.*Faces seem to be particularly difficult - do them only when you are more experienced.*You may have drips on the floor - clean up quickly. No spraying means less mess, but still be careful of drips and spills.*Keep your newly-applied tan dry for 12 hours, if possible, to let it set into your skin. Water drips and runs will remove the tanning solution and leave streaks or splotches.*I am a 5'3" woman and use about 1 1/2 tablespoons to cover my legs, arms, shoulders, neck, and upper chest. No spraying means virtually no waste.*I am pleased with my results. Be sure to practice on inconspicuous areas first and then, when you like your technique, get that all over glow.I hope this information is helpful and you enjoy this wonderful product.

The color of the tan looks so good and my favorite thing about this tan is that it’s not super sticky like other fake tan products can be. When I went to bed the first time I used it, I felt kind of sticky and didn’t think I was gonna sleep well and it was super surprised when I woke up in the middle of the night that I was no longer sticky at all! I used it again this morning and it’s been like three hours and the stickiness is already gone. The guide color WILL transfer while it develops so be mindful of that if you have nice sheets.I use a continuous mist spray bottle to spray sections of my body, and then blend it in with a self tanning mitt. This lets me get a lot of area quickly, but you absolutely have to use the mitt or it would look crazy. On my face, I use a kabuki brush.There are other reviews saying it doesn’t smell and I’m not sure. I don’t totally agree with that because it definitely has a fake tan smell. The smell really isn’t too bad, but my husband said that our bed smells “like a horse” after I slept overnight to let the tan develop 🤣. The smell did not last after I showered! I’m not going to take any stars off for that because I’m pretty positive that the smell is due to the ingredient that causes the tan and it’s unavoidable.

(Photo is right after I spray tanned her)This sunless tanning solution is the real deal! I’ve used a lot of self-tanners and sprays, and Norvell Premium delivers one of the most natural, golden brown tans I’ve ever had — absolutely no orange tint and no weird streaking.It develops evenly, fades gradually, and lasted a full week on me with proper prep and moisturizing. The formula is salon-quality, but I use it with my pop-up spray tent at home and it works just as well.If you’re looking for a flawless, professional-looking tan, this is a go-to product. I’ll definitely keep this in rotation.

I am an experienced sunless tanner who has tried almost all brands out there and my favorite right now has been Bondi Sands Technocolor in Magenta but so far I’m really impressed by this tanning solution.I bought it and used in a foam soap dispenser (bought on Amazon) to make it like a sunless tanner mousse. Side note that I learned, just put enough in the foam dispenser to do for that session since those kinds of dispensers aren’t completely air tight and can affect the solution.I have the regular Venetian sunless tanner mousse and it’s great and gives a great bronze finish with no orange but the main difference, and what makes this the best, is that it dries fast and leaves no sticky or tacky feeling at all. That is a HUGE thing for me because I hate that sticky wet feeling. Great smell the entire time left on, no fake tan smell at all during development. I will say that after I rinsed it off there was a slight fake tan smell but nothing overwhelming and seemed to go away after a couple of hours. There is some transfer of the bronzer color guide while wearing but that was expected.Overall this is my go to right now and I would highly recommend this solution for a natural bronze glow with no orange.

This tan solution is one of my absolute favs! If I have an event coming up Amazon ships it to me so quick! It sprays out of my gun so smoothly, leaves my clients even and well covered with a summer beautiful glow! The pricing on Amazon is great, you can’t beat it!
