Stunning Full Hand Checkered Fill Mehndi Design for Arm

An exquisite full hand mehndi design tailored for the arm, featuring mandala and anklet border. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

Henna on the forearm stains lighter than on the palm because the skin is thinner. Arm designs are easier to apply on someone else than on yourself, especially past the wrist. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Full-hand mehndi covers the hand from the fingertips to the wrist and often continues up the forearm. It is the usual choice for brides and for major festivals where a heavier look is wanted.

Application tips: Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain. Dab a lemon and sugar mixture on the dried paste to keep it moist and stuck to the skin.
