Dainty Finger Paisley Mehndi Design for Finger

A traditional finger mehndi design designed for the fingers, featuring crescent motif and paisley. Rated as Expert, this pattern is perfect for an engagement.

Finger designs are quick to apply and dry fast, which makes them practical when time is short. Fingertips have thicker skin, so the stain there usually develops darker than on the rest of the hand. This is a detailed pattern usually done by an experienced artist; allow plenty of time and work in small sections.

Finger-only mehndi is a popular minimal choice for people who want a small design that is quick to apply. Filling the fingertips solid with henna is a traditional look in many regions, from South Asia to North Africa.

Application tips: Avoid bending the fingers until the paste is dry, or the lines across the knuckles will crack. Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain.
