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.

Henna comes from the plant Lawsonia inermis, and its leaves have been used to dye skin, hair and nails for thousands of years. The practice is shared across South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Application tips: The stain starts orange and darkens to reddish brown over 24 to 48 hours as it oxidises. Wash and dry the skin before application and skip lotion or oil, which block the dye.
