HENNA NAIL PASTE...



Hello fabulous naturals !

We all like a little henna  every now and then , RIGHT?.  I particularly like to use henna to decorate my hands and feet.  My daughters love it, they were brought up knowing how to use henna.  We often have henna parties of our own, applying little decorations to our hands , and feet ( my oldest daughter is really good at it)  In fact I know of a lot of sisters who  have henna parties.  Its quite popular right before a sister gets married, other sisters and herself will get together and adorn themselves with henna.  Henna is not only great for our hair, but can be just as nice for our nails! 

Henna Nail Paste Recipe

1 Tablespoon of henna paste
1 Tablespoon of warm water
2 drops of vitamin E oil

Mix

Grab a small bowl, pour the henna into the bowl and mix with water.
Add the vitamin E , making sure to mix well  forming a paste.

Apply

While the paste is still warm, use a small brush (  small paint brushes work great) to apply carefully to finger nails only.  Be sure to have a cloth handy to wash off any henna that may accidentally get on your skin surrounding the nail.  To prevent it from staining your skin.

Allow henna to dry for at least 30 min , or until completely dry. If any  excess paste remains , just gently wipe it off with a paper towel.  And , remember this paste will stain, but will however eventually Beginn to fade.  So, therefore apply as often as you like.

Use warm water to rinse off hands.

Buff nails with a buffer gently.

TIP:

Try applying a base coat to your nails before applying the henna paste, to help in preventing the paste from staining longer than you would like.


Thanks for reading :)
