Vitamin Shoppe and GNC rely on peoples sense of instant gratification. Some people would shell out 20 extra bucks just not to wait 2-3 days for a supplement to come in the mail.

I'll go with Pro-tan but I will put on more coats than last year, my color was way too light

too scared of losing definition with dream tan, I prefer to go the safer way

is there colors in PRO-TAN?
like dream has the RED and GOLD finish.

pro-tan is 1 basic shade?
and is there a Spray + brush and then finishing creme for the day of the show (like DreamTan) ?

nop, there is no color with Pro-tan.

you only apply a lot of coats and then you put on a little bit of oil before going onstage (didn'T put any oil last year too so that didn't help)

I think Dreamtan looks great but like I said I prefer to go with the safer way

Dream Tan looks good if you are truly shredded.If you are a little off it can make you look smoother......

Pro Tan starts to have a green tinge to it if you apply too many coats.
