Its a sheer wash of fine iridescent glitter. Iām looking forward to using it on top of the Essie gel couture in sheer fantasy, but even on my bare nails it looks beautiful. Itās even prettier in person!
Iāve tried 4 other tanning mousses, and sadly all of them ended up in the trashcan.
The problem was they were always:
š¤ too dark (Iām pale af)
š§” too orange (I have a neutral undertone leaning cool)
šÆ too patchy/streaky
I have improved my pre-tanning technique but after trying this tanner Iām never trying any other tanning product again.
I used the isle of paradise brush on my body and the accompanying self-tanning serum in sapphire from Bondi sands on my face.
The tan IS subtle but itās definitely there. However I did use it for more hours than directed (6 hrs) before rinsing off with lukewarm water, which mightāve helped in deepening the color. The tan is still there after 5 days (the face faded more due to my skincare).
Who is this for?
-those with fair -
> super pale skin
-those who have a neutral/cool undertone
-those who want a more subtle but buildable tan
So if you donāt fit that category then I donāt recommend you spend the money on this self-tanner.
But if you do then be prepared to find your holy-grail š„°š¤
When itās pumped out itās thick and seems too creamy but when you blend it into the skin itās lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. It gives a nice matte finish but isnāt drying and gives a healthy glow. It feels like I have nothing on.
Totally recommend if you find other sunscreens to be too oily and heavy, so it works great for combination/oily skin š¦
