Bold Jewelry Mandala Mehndi Design for Front Hand

A luxurious jewelry mehndi design tailored for the palm, featuring feather stroke and paisley. Rated as Expert, this pattern is perfect for Karva Chauth.

The palm has the thickest skin on the hand, so henna stains darkest here. Keep the hand open and relaxed while the paste dries so the lines do not crack or smudge. This is a detailed pattern usually done by an experienced artist; allow plenty of time and work in small sections.

Jewelry-style mehndi imitates ornaments such as rings, bracelets, anklets and the hathphool, a hand harness that links a ring to a bracelet. It is usually drawn on the back of the hand, where real hand jewelry is worn.

Application tips: Dab a lemon and sugar mixture on the dried paste to keep it moist and stuck to the skin. Scrape the dried paste off instead of washing it, and keep the area away from water for the first 12 to 24 hours.
