Ornate Indonesian Ribbon Weave Mehndi Design for Finger

A refined indonesian mehndi design designed for the fingers, featuring paisley and checkered fill. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

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 pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

In Indonesia, henna is commonly called pacar or inai. Malam Bainai is a pre-wedding henna night in the Minangkabau tradition of West Sumatra.

Application tips: White henna is a body paint that sits on the skin; it does not stain and washes off within days. Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain.
