Hi, my name is Reena, I'm from Nailcreations.com. This is Priyanka and Krishma, and today, we're going to show you how to create Henna designs.

Once the Henna is dry, the best way to feel, whether it is dry or not, is to pat it down and see whether if the Henna is cracked so try to notice if the Henna's cracked. Once the Henna's cracked like that, you know it's ready to come off and literally, by not using any water, you just want to crumble it off using rotated movements like this and just let it crumble off. Where this bit hasn't been removed, it means it's still needing to set, wait another 15-20 minutes and then rotate it again and then most of it will come off, and that's the true color will enhance up to two days.

The best way to ensure that Henna will last you throughout your evening is to put sugar and lemon once your Henna is dry, that will then stop the Henna from crumbling and it will last you the whole evening and it will set the glitter and the bindis in place also. At the end of the evening, once the event is over, you can then remove all the bindi, the glitter by just crumbling it all off and waiting for 24 hours for the true color to enhance of the Henna paste. Henna tattoos usually darken over two days, then they stay at the maximum color for up to two weeks, they start to fade away naturally.

To remove the Henna tattoos, you exfoliate gently, all over, and then you dip it into salt water. It will eventually fade away. .
