The 2012 Snooki Collection from Supre Tan (by Nicole Polizzi) features three unique lotions: an Ultra Dark Tan Maximizer, an Ultra Dark Black Bronzer, and an Ultra Dark Hot Bronzer. All 3 bottles have the same design but are different colors.

The Tan Maximizer lotion (in the gold bottle) does not contain any bronzers but still should give you nice dark color. Some people don't like bronzers, and others can't use them because of skin reactions, so it's nice that you have the option with the Snooki line. If you're new to tanning the maximizer lotion is a good place to start, and once you develop a bit of a base tan you can move up to the more intense lotions.

The Black Bronzer (in the black bottle) has pretty much the same description and ingredients as the maximizer, but with added Black Walnut, Henna and DHA bronzers. These allow your skin to continue to darken after your session for a super deep, dark tan.

The Hot Bronzer (in the pink bottle) is a combo bronzer + tingle tanning lotion formulated for experienced tanners looking to turn up the heat. It contains the same bronzer ingredients as the black bottle but also has added skin stimulators that create a hot tingling sensation on the skin. Tingle lotions can provide a rush of immediate color while the bronzers take their time and slowly make you darker. Some people don't like the effect of tinglers so if you've never used one before use a little caution at first.

All 3 lotions utilize Supre's HyperDark Technology, which helps prepare your skin for UV exposure to aid in developing a rich golden color. They also contain a vitamin enriched skin conditioner to assist in providing a radiant, healthy-looking glow, and SoftChic moisturizers with coconut and sweet almond oil to leave you feeling hydrated, sexy and silky smooth. All Snooki lotions are also paraben-free.

This line is fairly new but the feedback so far has been great. Tanners are saying that these lotions are actually pretty good and the scents are pleasant as well. The retail price of these lotions is right around $60.00.

Pink Diamond by Swedish Beauty is the perfect gentle tingle and bronzing formula for serious tanners. This tanning lotion contains Swedish Beauty's Tingleplex 2 Tingle and Reddening Factor which provides an immediate after-tan glow that allows tanners to feel and see their tan working immediately. Be sure to test this lotion on a small area on your body before applying it all over - some people find the tingle factor a bit intense. Pink Diamond also contains a natural bronzing extracts blend of botanical ingredients that provide immediate bronzed color. To really top it off it also features a Firmtone blend which is an anti-wrinkle, firming and slimming complex designed to visibly firm and contour the skin. Out of all the tanning lotion reviews we post this lotion is in our top 10. This tanning bed lotion had a gentle green citrus fragrance and the retail price is $30.00. Normal bottle size is 8.5oz.

Australian Gold Global Hottie this is a hot new 2011 tanning lotion. It is considered a tingle but has bronzer in it. An excellent feature of tingle lotions is that you can shower immediately after UV exposure but when you use strictly a bronzer you have to wait a few hours to achieve optimal results before rinsing off. The tingle formula has a unique combination of natural bronzer and intense tingle to create insanely dark tans. When using this type of lotion you should expect skin to get extremely red before getting dark. It is also important to note that while you are in the tanning bed the tingling sensation is not enjoyed by all. Some people find it painful and irritating (such as myself). Initially when using this type of product you will redden but you will turn a dark sexy shade shortly after. Indoor tanning lotions that use tingle formulas provide instant results. The Age Defying Blend used in this item is infused with Vitamin A, E & B5. These agents defend against premature aging while Soft Focus Microspheres assist in decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin is easily hydrated with the Hemp Seed Oil and HydraRich Blend. The Hemp Seed Oil uses fatty and amino acids to provide essential moisture to the skin. The HydraRich Blend has a very similar effect but it supplies hydration because of very different ingredients. These components are Jojoba, Shea Butter and Glycerin and they create a barrier around the skin and lock moisture in. This is an important feature to have because UV exposure in a salon can be dangerous and can have adverse effects on your skin. Some of the negative effects can be dry, rough, wrinkly, old looking skin. Yet these can all be protected against if you find the right lotion and take the proper steps to nourish skin. With this ingredient skin can be left feeling luscious and super soft. Australian Gold Global Hottie comes in a square shaped plastic bottle. It looks like a collage and has a lot going on on its exterior. Colors that can be seen are red, hot pink, white, black, yellow, grey and blue. There is a British flag seen on the bottle and bright red lips. In the center "GLOBAL" is written vertically in simple black font adjacent to "HOTTIE" in bold larger black font. The cap is plastic, yellow and screws open and closed. This product is Paraben Free and THC Free. It has an amplified apple fragrance and comes in an 8.5 oz bottle. It retails for $38.00.

Swedish Beauty Be Bold is a new 2011 tingle tanning lotion. It is considered a T3 tingle serum. It has five key ingredients which are Beginning Tingle T10, Bronzing Blend, MelaDark Blend, Be-Beautiful Blend and Baltic Hydrogel. The Beginning Tingle T10 is a serious tingle agent. This component usually creates a tingling or sometimes irritating sensation throughout your body when you tan. Some people enjoy it while others do not. This type of lotion doesn't show immediate brown but rather creates intense redness first. After the redness settles you will see super dark results. One of the features of a tingle lotion is that you can shower immediately after you tan unlike bronzers where it is recommended that you wait a few hours for optimal results. This product is also great for getting color on those difficult to tan areas such as legs, underarms, neck and etc. The Bronzing Blend consists of banana and black walnut extract. These items help promote rich dark hues that are unbelievable. MelaDark Blend is a component which increases melanin production which in turn enables you to get the most color possible in minimal time. This agent is also responsible for ensuring skin gets an even tone. Golden Chanterelles and Truffle Tyrosinase are two key ingredients used in the MelaDark Blend. Be-Beautiful Blend is a combination of Magnolia Bark, Nordic Orange and Milk Thistle. It focuses on certifying that skin is firm and taut while at the same time giving it that superb even and radiant glow. Baltic Hydrogel increases elasticity in the skin and ensures intense hydration. A key feature to have in a tanning lotion because of the damage UV rays can cause. Swedish Beauty Be Bold comes in a plastic upside-down tube. Its exterior is hot pink and silver. This product has a silver plastic cap on the bottom that flips open and closed. "Be Bold" is written in silver script in the center of the item.

"Supre Tan" is at the very bottom in bold black font. There is a gold neck with a black push down top. This super dark bronzer tanning bed lotion has both tingle and 20x bronzers which produce an intense tingle sensation and the darkest tan possible in the smallest time frame. Not only do you get a sultry exotic tan but the lotion continues to do its job and darken your color for up to 12 hours. That's a long time for this product to keep working AFTER UV exposure.

Australian Gold Frankly Scarlet is a 2010 tanning lotion and has a great blend of ingredients. This is a very hot tingle tanning lotion which a lot of people try to avoid. Tingle lotions cause an intense heat sensation when exposed to UV light but produces immediate results. This has Advanced Tingle T15 with Pink Pepper BodyBlush Blend. This means that this is a level 15 tingle lotion and gets super hot when it's on your body. It allows extremely dark results but at the cost of the burning and reddening sensation. The Pink Pepper enhances blush and reddening which in the long run is good for getting immediate color. Frankly Scarlet also uses Dark Bronzers which is a great feature to blend together with the tingle because you will get immediate results but your color will keep getting richer within the few hours after UV exposure. This is when tanning salon attendants usually recommend for you to wait a few hours before rinsing off for the best results. The Dark Bronzers use a special mix of natural bronzing extracts to give you that immediate color you're looking for. GAC Super Fruit Extract is a new ingredient I have never heard of before. It is an ancient Chinese antioxidant which gives skin 70% more lycopene than tomatoes. This is supposed to be good for your skin and tone. This product comes in a uniquely shaped plastic bottle. It is mostly hot pink with touches of red and gold. The "AG" insignia is written at the bottom of the bottle in gold font followed by "Australian Gold" written in the same coloring.

Designer Skin Betrayal is one of the best tanning lotions out there today. It is a brand new lotion which has just been released for 2010. This means that you are getting the most upgraded version of ingredients on the market. Every year new tanning lotions come out and this is one of the new indoor lotions to keep an eye out for. This product features Ultra Advanced bronzing blend which includes 14 different kinds of bronzers. These are very important when buying a bronzer tanning lotion because they tell you just how dark you will actually get. The more bronzers there are, the richer your tan will be. Betrayal also has an Intense Sizzle formula blended into it which works through tingle. This means that it creates a tingling and reddening sensation throughout the body to increase the UV intake. This produces a deep luxurious tan which will be envied by all. Usually tingle tanning lotions are unpleasant for people but some prefer it to the bronzers because immediate results are seen. Another feature of this hot new commodity is the Red Wine Extracts. They focus on giving skin a sexy glow with the help of some antioxidants. Designer Skin Betrayal comes in an hour shaped glass bottle. It is long and dark red mostly throughout. "Betrayal" is written in black bold font outlined in white. In the center of the tanning bed lotion bottle there is a silver chain with a silver heart and 'betrayal' written across it. Above the chain there is a large open red rose. The cap is made of plastic, is silver in color and has ridges for better gripping. It twists open and closed. It is important to know what the outside of the indoor tanning lotion container looks like because you want to make sure when buying it; you are buying the correct item. A lot of the time there are many variations of lotions and you want to be 100% sure you are purchasing the one you were interested in (ESPECIALLY, if your purchasing online).

This indoor tanning lotion by Supre has 6x bronzing blend which works with a DHA delivery system. These two products combined allow skin to continue getting dark even after UV exposure. You can achieve darker results up to 12 hours after tanning. This tanning bed lotion will also keep your tan super radiant and rich for up to 8 days after exposure. This product also features 6x tingle. This means that when the UV light heats your skin up, you will feel a tingling heat sensation that some people just plain hate. Some people think this feature works great because you can usually shower shortly after tanning and see full color immediately afterwards, but others find it too painful and not worth it. Those tanners would probably prefer a bronzer tanning lotion or tan accelerator. The tingle increases circulation in the skin which is probably why you feel a slight sensation. Another ingredient this item has is MelanoMax Dark Tanning Complex which is responsible for stimulating melanin receptors. This increase the speed and intensity of your tan. It allows tanners to achieve a natural rich tan that other tanning lotions might not be able to give. Advanced Silicone Blend and IllumiLast Tan Extender are two more ingredients implemented into this hot commodity. The Advanced Silicone Blend brings moisture and hydration to the table. It conditions skin and keeps it smooth and silky. The IllumiLast Tan Extenders compound is a blend of Coffee Berry, Honey Dew and Tyrosine. The above elements protect tan color from fading. These items work together to ensure the longest life for your tan. A lot of people go tanning and get a very deep dark color quickly but see it fade away rather quite fast. This specialized ingredient makes sure that that doesn’t happen to you! Supre Torch comes in an hour glass shaped bottle. It is plastic and has a flame design throughout. Colors used are red, yellow, orange and purple. In the center of the bottle there is a large flaming circle. "TOURCH" is written in the circle in white font.

Australian Gold Sheer Elements is a new 2010 tanning lotion. It uses Tourmaline to energize minerals in skin and promote microcirculation throughout. This product does not use tingle which means it will not sting, burn or cause redness when applied and exposed to UV light. The above sounds quite painful and for some it is, but a good deal of tanners actually enjoy tingle tanning lotion. They feel it is a warm tingling sensation that allows them immediate results. Whether tingle is for you is your decision but tanners be warned. Yet again, this is NOT a tingle lotion. Sheer Elements uses dark color 92 and Earth Minerals to achieve super dark results. The Earth Minerals consist of Zinc, Calcium and Copper which help increase melanin production which essentially is in charge of coloring your skin. Melanin needs to be activated and receptive of the UV light and then color can be achieved. This tanning salon lotion also has a unique Mineral Preservation System which allows your skin to basically store and preserve its minerals. Therefore when you tan your minerals will not be depleted but rather protected. It also is a Paraben-Free substance which is great for those tanners with sensitive skin. This ingredient will ensure that your skin stays clear and break-out free. Sheer Elements tanning lotion also uses 92 Earth Minerals in its blend. These feature Copper, Zinc and Calcium. These are all excellent for your skin and allow the best results to be achieved in the shortest period of time. The exterior of this lotion is predominantly grey with a few white, blue and black designs throughout. The bottle is vertically rectangular, plastic and durable. The "AG" insignia is in white at the top of the container followed by "Australian Gold" written in white font. "Sheer" is written in white script font in the center followed by "Elements" in larger black font outlined in white. "Mineral Based Energizing Intensifier" is written in small white font towards the bottom of the bottle. This product has a Clean Ocean Breeze scent and comes in a 7 oz container. Salons charge $72.00 retail.

Supre Cherry Bomb tanning lotion is a very hot combination of tingle and dark tanning. This is an ubber hot high level tingle tanning lotion. A lot of people do not like the tingle factor because it is too intense for them and often refer to it as burning. Yet other customers seem to like the tingly sensation and find it unique and helpful in color production. Tanners who used lotions with tingle can usually shower immediately after the UV exposure but for best results you should ask your tanning salon attendant. ColorBurst Complex is also a formula used to help increase melanin production. It allows your skin to achieve a super dark tan naturally. Cherry Extracts combined with Vitamins A; E & C are a great feature of this item because they rejuvenate skin after UV exposure. These items moisturize, hydrate and firm up skin that has been exposed to damaging UV rays. Skin will be smooth and toned from this concoction of ingredients. Supre Cherry Bomb comes in an hour glass shaped plastic bottle. It is mainly a deep reddish pink color throughout. There are rich red cherries distributed throughout the bottle and "Cherry Bomb" is written slanted in the top center. The font is bold and white with black outlining. In the main center of the lotion "HOT Dark Tanning Accelerator" is written in white font followed by "Skin Firming, Cherry Extracts and ColorBurst Complex" is written in smaller font with the same white coloring. "Supre Tan" is written in white bold font at the bottom to acknowledge the company this tanning lotion was created by. The cap is black and plastic and pops open and closed. This tanning bed lotion has a Cherry Fever scent and comes in an 8.5 oz bottle. This is a new 2010 tanning lotion and retails for $20.00. It is surprisingly a cheap tanning lotion but for the price of this product I highly recommend trying it because it has some serious coloring agents you won't want to miss out on.

Australian Gold Risqué Ritual is a super hot tanning lotion with crazy intense tingle factor. When you're laying in that tanning bed you will feel the heat radiating off you and producing that tingling sensation. You will feel your body gaining color. This product has Extreme Tingle T40 Complex mixed with SimuTan Heat Complex to provide the best and darkest tanning results. Tingle T40 is an extremely high level tingle indoor tanning lotion. It reaches peak levels of reddening to ensure maximum color and darkness. Risqué Ritual also has a Dark Bronzing Blend which is responsible for providing a rich exotic color by using Kukui Extracts, Copper, DHA and natural bronzers. When all the above ingredients are combined into one small tanning lotion bottle an unbelievable tan is able to be achieved. When using lotions which involve a bronzer, whether there is tingle or not, you must usually wait a few hours before being able to rinse off. This is a key aspect of the tanning process because with bronzers it takes a few hours to achieve the full color you got from your tanning session. Color Enhancers are also another important factor in the UV experience. They are in charge of moisturizing and hydrating skin. Often we seem to forget that UV rays are bad for us and we don’t protect out skin. It is a necessary measure to ensure skin is hydrated and protected; otherwise you can become susceptible for fine lines, wrinkles and dry and damaged skin. A Tanning Trio is also implemented into this item to ensure melanin production is at its optimal height. This is not a cheap tanning lotion and I definitely recommend you try it if you want a super luxurious tan that radiates sexiness. It comes in a tube shaped bottle that looks like an upside-down triangle. The "AG" insignia is written in gold at the top followed by "Australian Gold" written in gold font underneath. It is yellow, brown, red and orange in color and has a unique design. "Risqué" is written in large yellow font outlined in black vertically. Next to that "RITUAL" is written in smaller font with the same color pattern. The cap is really exquisite because it features silver studded crystals all over it. This special item really makes the product look attractive based on appearance alone. This indoor tanning lotion has a Forbidden Apple scent and comes in a 10 oz bottle. It is one of the new 2010 tanning lotions and has the best and newest ingredients blended within. This product retails for $78.00 at most salons.

California Tan Dirty Secret tanning bed lotion is a base tanner which means it is best for those who have little or no tan. It works quickly to build a general base tan that's rich for those trying to get some quick color and first time tanners. This specific tanning lotion is best for individuals looking for smooth silky soft skin that is protected from harmful UV rays and at the same time able to reach rich peaks of darkness and tone fast. One ingredient in this lotion is Aphrodisiac Blend which is a specialized formula of Acai, Fig and Pomegranate which promotes dark tan development. These agents are also great at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, which is important when tanning because you are exposing yourself to harmful UV rays. Any precautions that are taken are better than none. Kola Caffeine is another instrument that focuses its efforts on firming up skin and giving off a vibrant, young toned look. Ginger Visnadine is an excellent feature to have in a tanning lotion because it does the same job that tingle does but without all the negative effects. Basically what this little device does is that it allows you to achieve a deeper and richer tan without causing redness or pain. Microcirculation is increased which activates certain cells that help get a darker color. FastTan is the ultimate ingredient you would want in any lotion you use because it prepares your skin for UV exposure and preps it for melanin production. This process gets your skin ready for tanning and achieving that exotic color you've been waiting for in super short time. Vitatan2000 is a unique component that combines vitamins, minerals, oxygen, energy and antioxidants to speed up the intensity that color can be achieved. It helps your skin produce a natural looking tan on its own quickly. Biosaccharide Complex is my favorite element because it prevents after tan odor. This is an important component because you cannot always shower immediately after tanning and this can sometimes cause a problem. Yet we don’t have to worry about this problem anymore because this one of a kind life saving feature is now offered in many tanning lotions. It comes in a vertically rectangular plastic bottle. The exterior is predominantly shades of pink color throughout. There is a hot pink heart in the middle of the lotion and "DIRTY" is written in grey font across the upper left hand corner of it. Following directly underneath is "SECRET" in much larger black font which is outlined in yellow. Toward the bottom of the container "CALIFORNIA TAN" is written in white font. The top is round, plastic and semi-see through red. It pops on and off. It has a Tropical Peach Orchid scent and comes in a 12 oz bottle. It is a relatively cheap tanning lotion which can be purchased at salons for a retail price of $38.00.

Sometimes tanning can cause your skin to look dry and damaged but with the right ingredients you can avoid that at all costs. Hot Skin Stimulators are usually something seen in tingle tanning lotions, but this item has it as well. It increases your tan intensity by creating a tingle effect. This usually entails a warm tingling sensation throughout the body or areas the indoor tanning lotion was applied.

Addicted to Love indoor tanning lotion is an excellent product. It features dual bronzer AND tingle to provide the ultimate tanning experience. There is a mild tingle factor which means that once exposed to UV light there will be a tingling/stinging sensation wherever the lotion was applied. Some people find this feeling warm and comforting while others like myself cannot tolerate it. The dual bronzers ensure immediate results in minimal time while the tingle focuses on increasing melanin production to improve overall outcome. If you're searching for a tanning lotion that creates instant long lasting color, you've hit the jackpot! This item is very addictive and will leave you coming back for more.

It has a very hot tingle and is considered a level 6 tingle factor. Usually you don’t see tingle tanning lotions and bronzers combined. The difference between the two is that bronzer tanning lotions require you to wait a few hours before showering to achieve maximal results while lotions that simply have bronzers and tingle within them can be washed off immediately after UV exposure. This item contains CoQ-10 Complex and a fruit base complex which promotes golden brown color and healthy smooth skin.  Tan Inc. Brown Sugar Dark Star comes in a tear drop shaped plastic bottle.
