Can the spray tanning treatment be done first, followed by a classic Vinylux manicure?

The best solution in this situation is to schedule these two treatments on separate days to avoid any undesirable effects and to ensure the best possible results for both the spray tan and the classic Vinylux manicure.

If the manicure is done first and the spray tanning follows, there is a risk that the cuticles removed during the manicure or any small cuts that may occur while trimming or pushing them back will absorb more of the tanning solution. This can lead to uneven skin tone on the hands, which will be especially noticeable around the nail area. Additionally, the tanning solution may slightly stain the polish, affecting the overall look of the manicure.

On the other hand, getting a spray tan before the manicure also comes with some downsides. After a spray tanning session, it is recommended to avoid contact with water and minimize friction for several hours to allow the tan to set evenly. However, a classic Vinylux manicure involves placing the hands on a tabletop and using various products, which could cause smudging, streaks, or uneven fading of the tan, particularly around the elbows and hands.

To achieve the best results, it’s advisable to plan these treatments in the correct order. It is recommended to have the manicure first, and then get the spray tan the following day or at least a few hours later—once the cuticles have fully closed and any minor skin irritations have healed. This will help ensure an even tan and preserve the flawless look of the manicure without the risk of staining or chipping the polish.

Although these two treatments can technically be done on the same day, the best and safest approach is to separate them to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting effect on both the nails and the skin.
