We are absolutely positive that you will love our solutions.  But, it’s like we always say here at EnvyTan, “If there were one perfect solution available, then absolutely everyone would manufacture and sell it.” Because everybody has different ideas about the perfect tanning solution for them, it is always a good idea to make sure that any solution performs the way that you would like it to before investing in gallons of that solution.  Each and every solution has things about it that certain groups like.  The truth is that solution in preference, in the end, will be determined more by your client’s reactions and responses than any other single factor.  Our worldwide loyal customer base doesn’t lie, and neither does our 100% positive feedback on eBay for 6 years running.  Our solutions deliver! Try them for yourself and see.

Both of our solution lines, Envy Temptations and Envy Addict provide a natural looking instant tan with their instant bronze color guard that will also help you with even application.  Both solutions dry quickly and develop into a beautiful bronze with long lasting color and even fading.  If you are not using excellent solution, trust us, the rest of it will not matter!  Clients who have good color results are happy loyal clients. 

EnvyTan chose to include an 8% from each solution line to be able to demonstrate both colors on an average skin tone, and 12% from each line so you can see what our product will do on individuals that require a darker tan.  Don’t take our word for it try it for yourself!  If a just off the beach golden glow is what your searching for, then Envy Temptations is probably the line for you!  If your searching for a deeper luscious chocolate colored tan, than look to the Envy Addict line to fulfill your desires.  At EnvyTan, or customers have a choice.  It’s that simple!  For a fully customized tanning experience, you may add any of our Glitter Drops, Scent Boosts, or adjust the ‘out the door’ color of your spray tan by using either Killer Envy or Combat Envy.  All of these products are available in the Solution Additives section of our Envy Store.

This product was specifically designed for the sampling phase of your sunless tan.  After you have tried your favorites, come on back and stock up on the ones that you love.  We also have larger kits like Seduced: Envy Solution Product Kit and Big Time: Envy Solution Inventory Kit.  These are both great options for sunless tanning professionals who want to stock up and save while bringing these products into their salons or mobile business.

This kit includes:

Envy Temptations Line:

    1-237mL (8 oz) Professional Product: Sinful: 8% DHA Tanning Solution.
    1-237mL (8 oz) Professional Product: Gluttony: 12% DHA Tanning Solution.

10 Steps to a Perfect Spray Tan

1. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO SHAKE YOUR SOLUTION WELL.   Our solution is mixed in small quantities with no chemical additives or stabilizers. As such, it is important that you shake the solution prior to every application. Please make sure that solution is stored in a cool place away from light.  Ideally, you should refrigerate your solution to maintain the highest level of solution freshness.

2. USE ONLY 1-2 OZ OF SOLUTION PER SPRAY TAN.  This is the correct amount of solution that should be used (per application) to properly apply an airbrush tan to your clients.  Never use more solution unless your client is physically above average in size.

3. GLITTER DROPS/SCENT BOOSTS: If you really want to offer your clients a customized tanning experience, let them choose the Scent Boost and Glitter Drop of their choice for their sunless tan. EnvyTan’s Glitter Drops add a shot of shimmering colour power to the ‘out the door’ tan result. We have 8 different varieties to choose from. Our Envy Scent Boosts allow your clients the opportunity to have a scent added to their sunless tanning session, so that they can not only look great, but smell great too. Also available in 8 different varieties.

4. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S SKIN IS PROPERLY PREPPED: Excellent solution must be partnered with proper skin care before, during, and after your client’s spray tan. EnvyTan offers
Sunless Secrets: Professional Sunless Tan Maintenance Tools’ to both you and your clients. This line includes products in the Pre-Tan, Self-Tanning, and Post-Tan sections to protect and prolong the life of your client’s sunless tan. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that offering your clients the tools to prolong their spray tanning results hurts your business, it doesn’t. It helps your business, because a client who is able to keep a healthy, uniform sunless tan between appointments is much more likely to become a regular spray tanning customer, as they will feel that they have found a way to stay tanned all year long. The Sunless Secrets Pro Tools Line’ is listed on the enclosed Skin Type Chart.

5. CLIENT DISPOSABLES: Don’t skimp on offering these items to your customers. These items will distinguish you from the competitor across the street. Offer your clients our ‘Over It: Disposable Hair Caps’, ‘Fling: Disposable Client Underwear’, ‘Nobody Knows: Disposable Nose Filters’ and ‘Sole Patrol: Disposable Sole Protector Shields’. These products help to protect your client’s hair, clothing, and the soles of their feet during their sunless tanning session. Do yourself a favor and invest a little bit of money in these client disposables so that you have happy clients every time. These products are listed on the enclosed Skin Type Chart.

6. THIS IS A ONE-COAT SOLUTION.  Applying one light coat of our solution will definitely give you the results that you are after.  You should not over apply to the point where your client appears wet.  If you feel like some areas are darker than others, then just go back over the lighter areas. Do not respray the entire body. When applied correctly, your client will have little or no excess rub off and should be almost completely dry upon completion of their spray tan. As with any solution, too little is better than too much!  A few minutes in front of the fan and you will have a happy, dry client with no sticky feel to the touch. 

7. USE KILLER ENVY DROPS, NOT A STRONGER SOLUTION, IF YOU NEED A DARKER ‘OUT THE DOOR’ COLOUR, OR YOU JUST LIKE A DARKER COLOUR GUIDE.  EnvyTan solution is neither too dark nor too light-it is just right!  Our colour guide (or the colour that you see instantly on your client’s skin) provides a very natural ‘TAN’ look, but you will find that it is lighter than most colour guides.  If you have used other products in the past with very dark colour guides/bronzers and try to duplicate the same look with our solution (minus the Killer Envy Fuel Drops), you will NOT have the end result that your clients are seeking.  The Killer Envy Colour Guard Darkener Drops (available in our Envy Store) will ONLY darken the colour guide, but have NO additional DHA to damage your clients lasting tan.  Example, you can add 2-3 ml of Killer Envy to any level of our solution to produce darker ‘OUT THE DOOR’ tan colour and darken the colour guide for yourself without having to apply a stronger solution to get the same instant results. Happy clients today and tomorrow.

8. BEADING/DROPS.  If you notice beading on your client’s skin, you are too close, the setting on your equipment is at the wrong level. Simply step back from the client and adjust the nozzle on your Apollo HVLP equipment spray gun.  Spray the solution into your glove to make sure that you are getting a light mist, and not a splattering type of effect. Then simply begin to spray your client again with the adjusted equipment. If you make a mistake, just use our ‘Cover Up: Spray Tanning Blotters’ to gently blot the over sprayed area, and then respray. Your clients will never know the difference. 

9. REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.  If your client is not a ‘Deep Dark Nubian Princess’ when you start with them, they will not be one when you are done.  If you try to make a client darker than they should be, they will ultimately end up unhappy.  Unrealistic expectations are and will continue to be a factor in our industry, so it is imperative that we educate ourselves, and our clients as to what is ‘Real’ and what is ‘Wishful Thinking’. Think about who you think of when you think of a healthy tan. It may be Jennifer Anniston or Eva Longoria Parker, but it is not someone who has dark brown, leathery looking skin. Ask your clients to be realistic in their expectations about the end colour of their sunless tan. They should want to look sun kissed, not sun damaged. If you spray someone with a fair skin tone with solution that is too dark for them, trust us when we tell you that when their sunless tan starts to fade, they will be very unhappy with the results. Work with your clients to find the ideal colour for their skin type. It’s a process; so let them know that you will work with them until you find the perfect balance of colour for them. Use our Client History Sheet, available free of charge on our website under the Free Tanning Forms link on the home page, to keep track of their colour results until you find the perfect balance.

10. EXPLAIN THE PROCESS TO YOUR CLIENTS. Make sure your clients understand that the colour guide will wash off in the shower and that the DHA needs at least 6-10 hours to develop.  No showering or heavy physical activities during this time. You should take the time to print out and use our ‘Pre and Post Tan Instructions Sheet’, available free of charge on our website to help your clients understand the process.

All of our products have no mineral oils, no lanolin oils, no alcohol, no petro-chemicals, no artificial colours, no sodium lauryl sulfate, and no formaldehyde. Additionally, our products are non-comedogenic, paba-free, and paraben-free. You should feel very good about offering your clients EnvyTan’s DHA Tanning Solution in any solution strength. EnvyTan promises to create only the freshest batches of all natural, high performance DHA tanning solution and ship it straight to you.
Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only. If irritation develops, discontinue use.

Here is a tip for other spray tan pros. I almost always start with a 5% to see how my client’s skin will react to the solution. Then if it’s too light, I can always spray them with a darker solution on the next go around. This is my insurance plan against a spray tan that is too dark for my customer’s skin. Explain that this is what you are doing to your customers. They will be happy to be working with such a pro.

Sinful Envy is my go to solution for about 90% of all of my clients. It’s just a great solution that really performs well on almost all skin types. I always keep the lighter and darker solution strengths in stock for certain clients, but this is the one that I stock up on. When I finally found the 8% Envy Solution, I was hooked and that was three years ago. It’s a solid choice for any spray tanning professional.

I am deeply committed to this color. I own a regular tanning salon and recently added spray tanning to my list of services. I offer ‘double dipping’, which is when someone tans in a bed and then spray tans too for best coverage and color results. The 10% Greedy Envy Solution is ideal for people with a good base tan already. It is a nice dark brown and my customer’s rave about it to me. They say that their spray tan with this solution gives them a deep all over bronze that they can not live without. Thanks EnvyTan.

Gluttony lives up to it’s name. This is a serious color solution that a spray tan professional should use with care. I am thrilled to have this level of solution to offer to my customers. I live in Texas and there are a lot of people here who have darker skin because of the constant sun, but want a spray tan to be evened out, or reduce the appearance of a red sunburn, and this solution does the job. Look, if I can sell a spray tan to someone who already has a tan, then you know that this solution rocks!

I searched far and wide before I discovered EnvyTan Solution. First off, the people that answer their phones are also spray tanning professionals, which really helps out when there is a client skin issue that I am trying to deal with. The color is natural, not orange, and it dries quickly so that my clients are not sticky for hours on end. The clients love the results. I love the product, prices, and the top rate customer care. I’m a loyal EnvyTan customer and would recommend this company and this solution to any serious spray tanning professional.

If you have been in the spray tanning business for more than 5 minutes, then you have tried your share of solutions. I heard about EnvyTan from a friend who has a salon in Oregon who swears by EnvyTan, so I decided to give them a try. I am so glad that I listened to her. What’s not to love about EnvyTan? They have fast shipping, great prices, excellent customer service, and most importantly, an excellent product that delivers consistently natural looking results. Try the sampler kit first if you are curious about this solution. It is the best I have tried. You are going to love it!
