One important piece of advice I can give you is to do the side you
have most difficulty reaching FIRST.

Another trick is to use an eyebrow pencil to mark the general area of
your design, the parameters, the outlines or the limits...something
to help you keep track of where you are as you twist and coil
yourself to do the design.

I agree that doing one part and letting it dry is a good idea. You
don't have to let it dry completely but at least until the surface of
the paste is matte. There shouldn't be too much difference in the
color if you leave it all on overnight. You might want to apply some
heat to the areas you do last just to help it along. You could also
take the paste off the next day in the order you put it on, leaving a
half hour between sections (tho I doubt that will make much of a
difference).

Happy hennaing and please share photos of your masterpiece with us!
