About this collection

Finding the right design for your occasion and skill level

Adult mehndi spans the full range — everyday single motifs, festive front-hand patterns, and heavy bridal coverage. The adult wearer has the hand surface and skin tolerance for any design in the catalogue, from a ten-minute khafif to a ninety-minute jaal.

Common questions

How long does a mehndi design last? +

A well-applied mehndi design lasts one to three weeks. Palm-side and sole skin holds the deepest stain (two to three weeks); the back of the hand and feet stain lighter and fade in about a week. Heat, moisture, and exfoliation all shorten the stain.

How do I make the stain darker? +

Leave the paste on for at least six hours, ideally overnight. Skip moisturiser before applying — it blocks the dye. Once the paste is dry, dab a lemon-sugar mix to keep it sealed. Avoid water for the first 24 hours after scraping the paste off.

Can I draw this myself? +

For simple-tagged and easy-tagged designs, yes — practise the silhouette on paper first, hold the cone like a pen with the tip just off the skin, and start with a design that has open negative space rather than dense filling. Royal-tagged designs need a steady, practised hand.
