: Thanks to you for the feed back.Sounds like you use both. If youre
doing alot of people though it seems that would take forever. When
you wrap on your self is it NS spray ,latex -then the tissue plastic
mummy wrap over all of it.
I found some spray and its still stinky but maybe a little better
in certain respects such as exposure time, amount need. Hopefully in
an outside venue I may be able to withstand it. I will experiment yet
again in the name of the art of Mehndi!(god only knows what we are
willing to try) Maybe Ill go back to sending people off with
lemon/sugar goo to smear on themselves.Do you use olive or baby oil
with mineral oil in it for removal. Can I just say to you that your
most recent photos have just blown me away. I made my husband and
kids come up and check out your work.Beautiful color. Pristine
detail.You are always an inspiration.
In gratitude.

I use the spray NS over the most detailed henna, paint on over the
: simpler stuff. I find the light coat that I get with the spray much
: easier to remove than the paint on.
: When I steamed, my spray NS came off 90% in one go, and what few
: scraps were left, came off by rubbing in oil.

: If NS gives you a headache, don't use it, or stay really well
: ventilated. The spray NS won't be any better than the paint on for
: stench. I have problems with latex making my lines fuzz,
too ......

: There may not be a perfect sealer for henna available yet.
: But .... latex over NS is quite good! Excellent preservation of
: detail, and the latex takes all the NS when you peal it back!

: The pictures I've posted on the forum will give you some notion of

an

results
: are good enough for you or not. That's your judgement call.
