Its a sheer wash of fine iridescent glitter. I’m looking forward to using it on top of the Essie gel couture in sheer fantasy, but even on my bare nails it looks beautiful. It’s even prettier in person!
I’ve tried 4 other tanning mousses, and sadly all of them ended up in the trashcan.
The problem was they were always:
🤎 too dark (I’m pale af)
🧡 too orange (I have a neutral undertone leaning cool)
🐯 too patchy/streaky
I have improved my pre-tanning technique but after trying this tanner I’m 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 it’s definitely there. However I did use it for more hours than directed (6 hrs) before rinsing off with lukewarm water, which might’ve 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 don’t fit that category then I don’t recommend you spend the money on this self-tanner.
But if you do then be prepared to find your holy-grail 🥰🤎
When it’s pumped out it’s thick and seems too creamy but when you blend it into the skin it’s lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. It gives a nice matte finish but isn’t 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 🦋
