Create a deep, stage-ready bronze with Norvell Competition Base Coat Professional Spray Tan Solution. This Step 1 formula is designed to build a rich Violet-Mahogany foundation that enhances definition and helps prevent unwanted orange tones.
Part of Norvell’s New and Improved 2-Step Competition System, the Base Coat is applied approximately 24 hours before an event and pairs with Competition Top Coat (Step 2) on show day for bold, competition-ready color. It is ideal for bodybuilding, dance, cheer, beauty pageants, modeling, stage performances, and sports competitions.
The high-DHA formula develops progressively, beginning within 4–6 hours and reaching full color within approximately 24 hours.
