The artist
Elina Danilova
Elina is a spray tan artist serving Long Beach, Los Angeles and the surrounding areas — in her Long Beach studio and on the go with mobile appointments. Clients trust her for a glow that looks like their own skin, only rested and sun-kissed.
Every tan starts with your skin: its tone, its undertone, and the occasion you are preparing for. Elina matches the shade by hand, adds soft contouring where it flatters, and never rushes an appointment — whether it is a bride before her wedding, a model before a shoot, or a first-timer who simply wants to feel radiant.
The result she is known for: even, natural, never orange — and it fades beautifully.

My manifesto
Beautiful skin should never cost you your health.
Spray tanning isn't just my job — it's my passion. I live a wellness lifestyle, and I've always loved how I feel with glowing, golden skin. But I know the truth about the sun: too much of it ages the skin and can lead to serious disease, including skin cancer. I refused to choose between feeling beautiful and staying healthy.
That's why I fell in love with spray tan. You see the result right away — a radiant, natural glow without a single minute of harmful UV. I started by teaching myself, then trained through professional courses to master the craft. Today, after many years of experience, I know exactly which solution and shade suits each person's skin.
Why spray tan instead of the sun
No UV damage
Sun and tanning beds expose skin to UV rays linked to skin cancer, sunspots and early ageing. A spray tan gives you colour with none of it.
Instant result
You walk out glowing the same day — no hours in the sun, no waiting, no burning.
Even, controlled colour
No tan lines, no patchy shoulders. The shade is chosen for your skin and applied exactly where you want it.
Flattering contouring
Soft shading can define arms, legs and collarbones in a way the sun never can.
Kind to your skin
Your skin stays youthful and healthy while you still get the bronzed look you love.
Made for your moment
Timed and toned for your wedding, holiday, shoot or red carpet — so the glow peaks exactly when it matters.
Every occasion deserves its own tan
The occasion matters as much as the shade. Before every appointment I ask what you're preparing for, because a bride, a traveller and a model each need something different.
Weddings
A trial tan a few weeks before to choose the perfect shade, then your wedding tan the day before — so you glow in every photo.
Vacation
A tan one to two days before you fly, so you arrive already glowing and enjoy the beach with SPF, not a sunburn.
Red carpet & photo shoots
A deeper, camera-ready depth with careful contouring, applied the day before so the colour is fully developed under the lights.
Glow with confidence, protect your skin, and let me take care of the rest. — Elina
