and thanks to zuriati too :-)

Henna I use...

Hey all again...

SO, many have asked me what henna do I use...
normally the henna I use i'll make sure i'll test it on myself or my friends first...that's why you see many of their pictures here;) apart from perfecting my skill in drawing, the main reason...is to try out the henna i buy.
so practically wherever i go, i will be looking for henna cones. ok this is not the ones is tube...it's in cone...many that i have bought and tried...i like some...SUPREME, great colour, last quite some time, but the henna can be dry sometimes...
and some other which i bought in Brickfields, JB Ranjeeta Indian Store, Madura...just to name a few.
last couple of months, my sis went to India for vacation, and naturally, being in India whr henna is very well-known and widely used, i asked her to get some henna cones from there...
and i loved the henna thr! very easy application, moist, which is better as it doesnt all off easily, sticks to the skin, and the best part...it lasts more than a week!
the henna colour develops rather late, it takes abt 24 to 48 hours before u see a very nice colour on your skin! but isn't that great? it means even after week, the colour would still be very nice. it doesn not fade off quickly.
i believe for a bride, after spending quite a sum of money on henna, of course you would want it to stay on your skin longer. so this indian henna is perfect. so now, i've asked my brother in law to buy for me whenever he goes thr for work...thanks to him!:-)
and if i dont hv the india henna, i'd still have some of my faves henna which gives gud colour and also lasts quite long.

so peps, hope this answers your inquiries on the type of henna i use...

that's all for now...ciao!!!

Henna Review

Hey all...

Well i know i said i would upload some pictures of the henna i use and also some more info on the result of henna colour onto different parts of bodies, but when i looked through some pictures i've taken, terjumpa pulak these 4 pictures. thought of doing a henna tube review dah lama dah, but been delaying doing so. walla! now it's here...

so i've been looking at some blogs...and i see the henna being used is kinda wet...i don;t really know what henna some of these artists used, so i pun sajernya la try out this henna tube give to me by a friend of mine...it is said to be very red...and a lot brides love red coloured henna...

this is the cone i used...rani nie mmng well-known....u can basically get it anywhere...upon application....firstly, i've got to say the smell is rather strong...it smelt like BUNCHO as my friends described it...so that's defnitely a NO-NO for me.

but it is very difficult to draw from the tube...maybe i'm not used to this...the lines and designs run easily as the henna is rather watery...another No-No. it looks horrible!

as for the time it's required for the henna to dry and the colour to develop....only took quarter of the hour normal henna would....1 hour plus...that's just how long i kept the henna paste on. could even peel the paste off easily. so that's a plus...i'd want tht as well...fast n no mess.

after removal, the colour was just superb! well if one likes red....but for me i'm so used to the henna being brown, plus i like brown better! but when i bathed the next morning, colour came off! no wonder some of the ppl i know said the henna they applied on their hands only lasted a few days...it changed orangy! and no one likes orangy kan?

hmmm...so the verdict....am not gonna use this eva! maybe if any bride wants it just for the occasion, it'd be a good choice for that lovely colour. fast, no mess, red!
if you want the henna to last perhaps a week...then...try other types of henna:-)

ok peps! that's all the review for now....ciao!

Henna Colour

Hi all!

Well today I'm gonna write about getting a darker and lasting henna colour.
Ramai jugak yang tanya about how's the colour and berapa lama tahan.
Normally nya, kalau the henna yang I use, it can last abt 1 week. meaning dalam 1 minggu tu still cantik lagi. Tapi bila baru lukis henna tu, mesti dibiarkan kat kulit for at least 3 to 4 hours. It is memang advisable to leave it overnite, then after removal of henna tu, jgn kena air for the next 24 hours.
this is because, after 24 hours post-removal, the henna 'dye' starts to release colour. So by applying oil, most advisable oil yang contains eucalyptus, is best because it warms the hands & feet. so example of this kind of oil...minyak baby, minyak cap kapak dan vicks. so take your pick!=)

i think for us muslim macam susah kan utk tak kenakan air sebab nak solat kan? so mestilah kena air...
so basically, normallynya what i do, i lukis henna tu satu atau 2 mlm sebelum majlis nikah, after isyak of course, lepas dah solat, then, henna tu mesti dibiarkan kat tangan for at least 3 to 5 hours. mmg lama lah sikit, lg lama lg cantik lah kan? mmg henna tu akan kering on hands less than 1 hour, but i'll apply lemon n sugar so that henna will stay wet and stick on hands better. so tak delah tak boleh gerak langsung;-).
and after dah 3 ke 4 jam, dah boleh remove the henna from hands & feet by scraping it off. JGN BASUH GUNA AIR. just kikis guna kuku or tissue.kalau susah nak remove, guna oil. so after dah remove all henna, apply oil yang disugggestedkan td on the hands and feet. tidurlah lepas tu ^-^. the next morning, dah boleh mandi before nak solat subuh. =)

so kalau betul2 ikut nie, the henna akan last 1 week atau lebih.
very important to know, henna nie berbeza colournya from one person to another. ini depends on body temperature someone tu. lagi panas badan lagi henna colour darker. that's why henna on palm every dark tp atas tangan kurang sikit.

ok nanti i will explain more about bhgn2 yang man henna colour will be dark and mana yang kurang sikit.
and also the pictures of henna yg i apply of my hands, perubahan warna the whole 1 week=)

ok ciao ppl! hope this info was helpful.

Thank you..

I was just browsing through some blogs, and ter-come across sassyangel's blog.
a lot of interesting things to see and read...and so as i was just scrolling the page, i saw....Hennapassion listed....aw...thank you girl!

Aniz and Wan

This was done for Aniz when she 'bertandang' to hubby's place in Melaka.

It was great working with them. Very nice people. Very friendly.

And the first time I had to draw a dragon! never did that before...entah rupa dragon ke tidak nie...he seemed ok with it...

i hoped he really liked it...

so this is before removal of the paste.

Will be posting more then.

Thanks dears!

Inai-ing again...

recent works

my darlin' colleagues...

as my colleagues said, the reward for themselves upon successfully completing thier work.

More Designs..

Zareen (my sis) went to India and so I asked her to buy me some mehndi cones...

she brought back some and so tried it out...

what i loved abt it is that it is so easy to apply...very smooth and makes application faster

and the best part is that it sticks to the hand like a glue, don't hv to apply lime n sugar after application, and so u can go ahead doing whatever u want without worrying the henna will fall off! lovely isnt it? gotta get more of this!

but i wished the colour would be darker! it is still dark but i like it darker....

but all in all still good!:)
