A Guide To Pakistani Henna Designs

Hi, my name is Reena, I'm from NailCreations.com. This is Prianka and Krishma.

Today, we're going to show you how to create henna designs. Today, we'd like to show you how Pakistani Mendhi is created. It's more small and intricate, and more so central to the palm as opposed to the hand or the fingertips.

What you tend to do, you start off at the center of the palm and you work your way outwards by filling out the center of the palm as much as possible, and as much detail as possible. It's very, very important to have a lot of detail in Pakistani mendhi. We do not work on the fingertips.

With Pakistani mendhi, it's that she dipped the fingertips into henna to get the full effect of the full henna tips, as opposed to designed and patterned. You tend to incorporate a lot of shading in this type of henna. It's very important to keep your design very consistent also.

With traditional Pakistani mendhi, you tend not to use any glue tips or bindis, as when you spray, you want it to be pure henna and nothing else. With the fingertips, you tend to dip all your nails and your fingertips in natural henna so you have got solid henna, as opposed to design on your fingertips. And that's how you do Pakistani mendhi. .
