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.

Gulf-style, or Khaleeji, henna is popular in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. It is known for large, bold flowers and leaves with plenty of open space between them.

Application tips: Fill petals with shading instead of fine detail to keep the design bold. Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain.
