Meet Nicole Denver, the founder and owner of MiLK & ViViD, a beauty studio offering top-tier custom spray tanning, teeth whitening, and curated ear piercing services. Since launching in 2019, Nicole has built a brand known for its high standards, exceptional client communication, and inclusive atmosphere—a place where every body is welcome.

My wife and I have been using MiLK & ViViD for a while now and have nothing but amazing things to say! The tanning and teeth whitening services are truly top-notch.

About the Business

MiLK & ViViD originally opened in Littleton and quickly outgrew its space, moving to Englewood before expanding to Montrose, where Nicole now runs that location full-time. With a new piercing-only studio opening soon in Grand Junction, her business continues to grow—powered by a loyal client base and a dedicated team of artists.

Services Offered

Custom Organic Spray Tans
- Known especially for bridal and vacation tans, MiLK & ViViD guarantees no orange tones, no transfer, and a finish tailored to your skin. The tanning solution is coconut water-based, infused with hyaluronic acid, and designed to work beautifully with Colorado’s dry climate. Every client receives a consultation email and prep guide ahead of time, and Nicole’s team keeps detailed notes to customize each visit.
Zero-Sensitivity Teeth Whitening
- This gentle, effective service helps brighten your smile without discomfort. Perfect for special occasions—or just because.
Luxury Ear Piercing & Curation
- Offered at each location and coming soon to Grand Junction! MiLK & ViViD’s ear piercing services are crafted with care and creativity for a personalized look.

What Sets MiLK & ViViD Apart

Nicole prides herself on client education, comfort, and communication. From the first phone call to the final tan, every step is designed to make clients feel confident and cared for. Complementary patch tests are available, and custom formulations are adjusted for individual skin types.

With a team of three full-time and mobile artists (all of whom have been with Nicole for over a year), MiLK & ViViD delivers consistency, professionalism, and warmth. Clients rave about how timely, flexible, dependable, and welcoming the entire experience is.

Her favorite part of this job is the community of women she has met and the unexpected connections she has built along the way. MiLK & ViViD isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling seen, supported, and celebrated.
