I found this Henna kit at Barnes & Noble for $10. I thought that since I’m too chicken to go and get a tattoo, (and I doubt my husband would let me get one) I’d try temporary henna.
This is the part that turned out well. Now for the other side.
Now, this side didn’t necessarily turn out bad, just not how I had planned on it turning out. Maybe I didn’t do something right although I did follow their directions. I tried using their pattern but when I went to transfer it to my skin, it just turned into a big blue-ish blob. That wouldn’t come off.
Then, when I tried to use the decorator bag that was provided in the kit, the henna mixture wouldn’t come out of the small opening I was supposed to make but when I cut the opening big enough for the henna to come through, my lines were too thick. I got a sewing needle and dipped it in the mixture to draw on my hand. It was a little tedious but I was much happier with the results.
I proceeded to try and just decorate my hand all by myself. Then I decided to try and freehand the design that I had originally wanted on my palm. Much to my surprise, that turned out really well. Better than I had expected.
I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has tried this kit. If it worked or not, and what you did to make it work.
