Holly G said:It means your skin is primed for the treatment and it's less likely to go blotchy and flake off.
My spraytan lady recommended moisturising the night before, rather than the day of.
.........so basically in the areas where you skin is dry then it won't work properly or it will flake off.ibiza_lou said:Babs - I know youve mentioned before that you use San Tropez....is there much difference between a spray tan and using the above?I use S.Tropez but IMO, the more you use it - the less it works I find.
The spray one is really good, as Rach said above if you want a full-on bronzed look for a special occasion it really works.......and is so much easier than bribing your b/friend to do your back for you with San Tropez . They're not really my 'thing' though to be honest. We'll see!
Otherwise I'll spend the first part of this summer with silly silly hair ). Barbie said:Which San Tropez do you use?? I use the mousse and it still seems to work for me
Shouldnt have bought it off the back of a lorry I guess! just kidding!zarbtron said:I think I'm just going to do Johnsons holiday skin for the days leading up to my vacation and take it with me to ensure I can maintain a tan rather than a full on spray tan (I'd be scared I'd look like I'd actually had a spray tan
Holiday Skin seems to work quite well for me, all I'll need to do is find a willing person to do my back!
My cousin was just telling me about that Johnsons Holiday skin the other day, and THAT made her look like she had a skin disease!Beckiboo said:Scoobs I have had acrylics done a few times. I had them done when I had really short nails first. They glue tips onto your natural nails and put the acrylics over them. This cost me about £35. They looks really nice and your natural nail grows underneath the acrylic.
I've also had acrylic gels on my natural nails when they are at a decent length. It costs about £28.
They do look really nice and I'd say if it's for your big day then def get it done
Downside: They file down your natural nail so much it makes them very week, basically like paper, so when and if you take your acrylics off they will break very easily.
If you intend to always have acrylics, you need to get them done about once every 3 weeks otherwise you will have a big gap between your acrylics and your natural nail growing through. It depends whether you have the money for infills every 3 weeks (about £16) and the time!
Personally I found them too much hard work to maintain. They look great for a couple of weeks then you get the growth and you've got to get them done again. I'm currently growing mine off at the moment and they look sh1t, but once they're gone I'll just grow my natural nails back.
I'd definately say get them for a wedding though because you can't have manky old bitten down nails in all your pics (not saying yours are but you know what I mean) you want to have nails of a goddess!
so I need to do something for the wedding! Holly G said:It's no good. I can't leave this thread.
I don't know how you're meant to do anything with your hair in this weather.
My 'fro is totally OOC at the mo, I am wearing a headscarf and look like Hilda Ogden today in a vein attempt to keep it under control

It's just so boring at the moment, its at the awkward shoulder length and it's doing NOTHING. I want to grow it long but its taking ages. And its so thin! I want lashings of long curly hair like Jessica Simpson
