LOVE LOVE LOVE - Medium/Dark is my favourite, after one application I have a beautiful glow and after two I have a deeper tan!
Look at those GOLDEN legs, so happy with Medium/Dark, which gives you that instant tone and colour in just one application. Exactly what it was designed to do, set the tone with one coat or become buildable with two.

This is a darker tan than I was expecting (given my comparison to other light/med tans) but its beautiful! Genuinely, my new favourite xx
Hi Emma,
I'm so glad you love it, even if it surprised you with its shade-wise! Our formula is designed to build beautifully, both immediately and gradually, so you can dial it up or be happy with just one layer (like many of our customers are), depending on your golden tone goals. Thrilled it’s your new fave, and thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review.

This is more of a once off tan, would not build up and has a very orange tint and quite streaky and hard to see if you are getting a good application as its white to clear going on.
Hi Jamie,
We’re really sorry to hear this wasn’t the right fit for you. I can see from your order that you have tried our Medium–Dark shade, which is designed for those wanting a deeper tan right away. If this was too warm for your skin tone, you may find our Light–Medium a more natural match. Our products are buildable, some people do 1 layer and others 2-3.
Our invisible, clear-drying formula is intentional: it’s made to feel like a body lotion (which it is), go on streak-free when applied correctly, and be kind to sensitive skin (fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, vegan, and NZ made).
If you’re open to trying another shade or learning a few of our boosting application tips, we’d love to help with this and I will send you an email,

Absolutely loving the Bonnie gradual tan – it goes on so easily and gives such a natural, even glow. Feels like sunshine in a bottle!
Hi Penny,
Soooo happy to hear you are loving BONNIE. Sunshine in a bottle, yes!

Bonnie gradual tan would have to be the best self tan I have ever used. I had my favourite tan, but got to try this one out and beats them all. Tan stays lovely and streak free for days before I need to apply again. Even had a bath and it didn’t fade. Doesn’t streak and the fragrance is not one of those strong fake tan smells. Awesome product.
Hi Jo,
Thank you so very much for the lovely words... so so HAPPY that BONNIE is there to stay.
Thank you for trusting to try something new,
B
This spring, beauty is getting a reset, and it’s all about stripping things back to what truly matters: your skin, your glow, your confidence. At BONNIE, we believe confidence doesn’t...
The Best Gradual Tan for a Natural, Sun-Kissed Golden Tone This past week was a bit of a pinch-me moment. I took BONNIE to London... our first step into the UK...
Hey lovely, Not sure whether to go Light–Medium or Medium–Dark? You’re not alone… choosing the right shade can feel like a big decision, especially when you want your glow to...
Let's Chat Gradual Tanning... If you’ve ever been left orange, patchy, or smelling way too much like fake tan… well lovely don't worry because you’re not alone. That’s exactly why...
