Product Description
Mehndi, the art of henna body painting, has been practiced for centuries in India, Africa and the Middle East. The deep rich color from crushed leaves of the henna plant is used to adorn the body with stunning temporary tattoos. Henna is thought of as a lucky charm or blessing and is used in ceremonies and rites of passage to engender good fortune, happy results, and good feelings.

You can practice the beautiful art form of mehndi with this easy to use kit. The book, Mehndi, The Art of Henna Body Painting by Carine Fabius is included containing over 140 illustrations and photographs, a history of mehndi, step-by-step instructions for creating designs, and practical tips from professional artists. Each kit also contains 9 stencils that are reusable up to 5 times each, pre-measured high quality henna powder from Morocco, a professional applicator, and eucalyptus oil. The beautiful temporary tattoos will last from 1 to 3 weeks on your skin. Enough henna is included for 15 or more designs.
