Sportin’ the Jan Tana
Well, I have three coats of Jan Tana on now and I look like a different nationality! hehe It’s amazing how this stuff gets you so dark so fast. I had a little base tan going before using Jan Tana so that probably helped. My fiance laughed when he noticed that it looks like my teeth are glowing against this color. Haha! I had my nails painted this morning and the white tips look super white with my tan hands. I had read before online that one should not put too much color on the hands because they darken easily. This is so true! While my body has three coats my hands have only one and they already match.
I’m glad I bought extra sponges (the round microfiber kind you use to wax a car) because the one that came with the Jan Tana eventually got so saturated it was hard to get new color on. Sounds odd, right? Once the first sponge got so damp it seemed it wanted to remove color as opposed to apply new color. Changed to a fresh sponge and voila! Solved that problem and was able to continue applying new coats. I also found that after the initial coat, it works better to press the color on instead of wiping it on. Use gloves! We got nitrile ones from Walmart since they fit looser and are easier to get in/out of and reuse. Also, nitrile gloves are good for people with latex allergies.
I learned a valuable lesson regarding competition tan and going to the bathroom. Ladies, this one is for you! Pee in a cup as it will prevent splashing and spotting your tan. Patrick helped me fix the spots that occurred. What an asset he is to my life…I love you babe! Managed to avoid any other mishaps by using one of the hotel’s disposable coffee cups to take a leak. No splashing, no goofs to fix!
Patrick and I are lounging in the hotel room before going out for the registration/competitor’s meeting. There are other competitors staying here so the excitement has already begun!
