Arabic designs
~Arabic designs~
Normally do this on Malay brides.. who want their names painted on their hands.. with the grooms name in it too!
Malay brides like it simple and sweet!
This is one of my Malay brides. Applied last year. Also note that I dont use local Henna. I used export quality Henna mainly from India. The colour will look like this when u remove it and it will grow darker.
Love it?? I love it too! ;)))
Henna Tatoos!
So thts my own hands. Applied last week. Just to give u an idea of my work.
Mehndi is the application of henna as a temporary form of skin decoration in Pakistan and India, as well as by expatriate communities from these areas.
Mehndi decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes called henna tattoos.
Henna is typically applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna.
Henna was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for brides.
