Delicate Rajasthani Butterfly Wing Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A mesmerizing rajasthani mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring mesh jaal and dotwork. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for an engagement.

Full-hand designs run from the fingertips to the wrist, so allow extra time for application. Work from the wrist towards the fingers, or the other way round, so you never rest on wet paste. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Designs often include figures such as a bride and groom, peacocks and elephants. Mirrored designs, where the two hands form one picture when held together, are a hallmark of the style.

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.
