OMG vs Suntana vs Funkissed — real differences in practice?

[Ryan M]

I’m trying to narrow my solution cupboard and keep hearing OMG, Suntana and Funkissed in the same breath. In day-to-day mobile work, what are the real differences you’ve noticed — guide colour, fade quality, gun clogging, and client feedback?

Not looking for a hard sell, just honest pro experience so I can stock two lines properly.

Honest take from the booth: Suntana is very consistent for guide colour and a clean fade, and it behaves well in HVLP if you don’t leave it sitting in the cup. OMG tends to get strong client feedback on colour and smell, with a bold guide that helps newer techs. Funkissed can look great but I’ve heard more mixed reports on clogging if you’re not diligent with rinsing the gun.

I’d stock one “house reliable” (many UK mobiles lean Suntana) and one hero/event option rather than three near-duplicates. Always flush with water between clients and deep-clean at end of day — that matters more for clogging than brand loyalty.

Trial sizes on your own skin and a couple of regulars before you commit to litres.
