If you put anything over henna that will easily dissolve the henna,
you risk having a great goopy orange and green sludge that ruins all
your work.

That's what elmer's glue does. The henna turns into sludge. Disaster.

Disaster is what I had with face masks. The henna turned to sludge,
then the sludge started pealing up at the edges ..... and then it got
worse.

The high sugar mixes, quickly dried, do ok for some people. My only
problem with the sugar stuff is that it attracts bees, and if I'm
bee stung at an outdoor henna venue, I've gotta go straight to the
hospital, and am useless for 2 weeks.

If you, and your clients, are not allergic to latex, liquid latex is
good. If you have your blowdryer, you can get it dried and
transparent quickly, and then you can dust it with body glitter ....
pretty cool looking really! You can see the henna pattern through it
and all. Only drawbacks to latex are it ruins clothing it gets
splatted on (and I'm a klutz) some people are horribly allergic to it,
and you can't put it on anything hairy, and it's not very good for
foldy parts, because if someone touches latex to latex, it all pulls
off.
