For my previous shows I have used the JanTana comp kit and while its easy to do, I would prefer to get sprayed and have the tan be one less thing to worry about...BUT, I am very pale and I'm concerned that the spray wont be dark enough for my skin.
I thought of doing 1-2 coats myself before getting sprayed, to be on the safe side but I'm not sure if I HAVE to.....
I am whiter than you, and I've found three coats of protan and a spray tan before the show does well for me. I've also used JT but didnt like how it came off so easily during contest day. On the other hand, Joe recommended my client Holly get a spray tan the night before and the day of the show. She looked really good. I'd say stay with the spray tan, as long as they know what they are doing.
I REALLY liked how the spray-tanning color looked on you Nic last nite as well as on Dave. Very dark & even color......I will definitely go this route the next go 'round.
