Kid2 henna-ed a new 'friend' who got #henna for the first time. Said friend, who works in a nail salon, did kid2's nails last week.

It took at least four tries but I've finally achieved pretty much the effect I was shooting for.

As usual, it'll get darker in the next 24 hours or so.

This is a product of henna staying on skin for ten hours or so.

Terping (that is, adding tea tree essential oil) does darken the hue. As does wrapping the arm in plastic foil, I think.

I'm definitely doing more designs elsewhere! And I still want to do henna freckles on my face, but I'm still a bit chicken xD plus the next batch of henna is still "ripening".

Kid2's #Henna #Art 🧵/n contd

After decorating kid1's hand (see 👆🏽), Kid2 decided she wanted do decorate her own hand with this henna cone. Not the most elaborate on herself but still a delight. She likes how this stains well.
