Will not try this again!!!

Mystic tanning, yep spray tanning. I thought why not give it a shot. How bad could it be? I went tanning with my SIL Vanessa yesterday and decided to give the Mystic a try. She laughed and said I would look like an Oompa Loompa. The girl was giving me instructions and from the booth next to the front desk we hear "Oompa, Loompa" (My lovely SIL singing). The girl stops the instructions and everything goes silent. So she starts again and we hear "Dompity Doo". Yep she started singing again. I about died laughing. When they took me back to the room with the "Paint booth" she showed me the lotion I needed to put on my feet and hands and told me how much to use and not to rub it in, just leave it all gloopy. She shows me the sensor door opener and closer and the sensor starter for the "Paint Booth". So she leaves, I lock the door and proceed to get my tan. I slop on the inches of lotion on my hands and feet as instructed, put on my hair net and step into the booth. I wave my hand in front of the the sensor to close the door and nothing, I try again, still nothing. After several attempts of this I figure it is the 2 inches of lotion on my hands causing interference and use my arm to wave to shut the door. I then wave my hand in front of the start button (not learning my lesson obviously) and again nothing. So once again I resort to my arm and then take my spray tan position with eyes closed. The machine says, "Spraying to start in 5 seconds" and counts down. It then goes through my head, "what was I thinking?" The spray starts and moves up and down. Once it stops the machine mumbles something, wasn't sure what she said but I figured I better turn around. So I take my stance again and the machine counts down again and sprays the back. 30 seconds after it starts it is done and the door pops open. I tried not to fall out of the booth with my lotion slick feet. I got out trying not to breath in the fumes and chemicals and then proceed to wipe off the excess (as instructed to). They told me it would take about 4 to 6 hours to show up. I left thinking, "Wow, why don't more people tan like this, fast, easy and instant tan!! 6 hours later I had an answer as to why they don't. While I am not an Oompa Loompa, the tanning is not even at all and where they told me to slather all that lotion on, got NO tan what so ever. So I have white hands and white feet with funny white lines on the wrists and ankles where I had lotion on. It also did not cover all over very nice and I have some spots on my thumb and the palms of my hands are dark (that wasn't suppose to happen according the instructions). So lesson learned, never go the quick and easy route, cause well, you just may end up an Oompa Loompa.
