Are you sure you want to use a pre-made paste on a ton of people,
when you have no idea of the ingredients? I personally think it's
safer to use a home made paste, so that you know every ingredient and
can be sure that nobody will have an allergic reaction to it.

: spent last night using two pastes. One the first was Halawa (where
: you add catalyst to powder already in a cone) and the second was a
: tube of ready mixed Rani Kone Henna Paste.
: Both pastes were applied onto skin that only had the transfer oil
on
: it. The Halawa paste was quite stiff and compared to the Rani was
: awkward to work. The Rani was more a runny yoghurt texture, but it
: stayed where it was put on the skin without spreading.
: Both stayed on for about two hours, the only difference being the
: Halawa had the syrup applied over the top and the Rani was just
: touched in on major cracks.
: Today I (and the rest of my family have a lot of nice heena designs
: that are quite dark and very acceptable. It seems everyone else in
: the family takes a stain better than me though! The halawa has
: stained more of a bronze/brown and the Rani is more dark coffe. The
: odd thing is the Halawa stain on me is noticably weaker than on
: erveyone else. Does this happen that some powders just won't have
it
: on some skins?
: I stll have to mess around with the free powder samples that Baron
at
: pirates-Hoard sent me, but either way i shall certainly buy the
Rani
: pre mix again. Erspecially as I may already have a party booking
and
: the results with the Rani (good fine applicator tip also) are
: soacceptable for the ease of use.
: I did a relative last night and she asked if I'd do a party for her
: and her girlfreinds ( can't refuse an oppoutunity like that, me and
a
: room full of girls!!!!) I offered to do it for free and she
wouldn't
: hear of it saying they would all contribute soemthin, so at least
the
: materials will be paid for and I'll get the experience.

: This henna thing is going to be a lot of fun.
: One thing though I own two parrots and they are little buggers for
: picking at any skin imperfections, scabs, moles,hairs etc, so
imagine
: the delight when one of them found a flaky henna design, hell of a
