Hellooo
I've always thought of henna as being too much for everyday wear. I mean, its wonderful for occasions but, lasts a couple of weeks depending on the brand used and in my opinion can look unsightly after a while. There was however, a trend for the black henna about four years ago but that has been known to cause adverse skin reactions in some people. Black henna was definitely something I would wear as opposed to the orange-stain leaving brown one, that is, if there wasn't a chance of having my limbs covered in blisters.
For the past week, I've noticed a sudden increase in more modern designs. Henna designs that are actually cool and have come a long way from my nan's design of a large blob in the middle of her hand surrounded by a many smaller blobs. These designs are actually cool. Desi Perkins (YouTube make-up guru) has recently posted a photo of her henna which, is similar to Rihanna's hand tattoo and so I think its safe to say that henna has well and truly been bought to 2014. I have also seen photos of henna in more original places such a pregnant tummies and the heads of cancer patients going through treatment which I think is adorable. Since Eid isn't too far away now, I thought I'd share some of these, more original, designs that I found so that you too can be unique and stand out from the crowd of aunties. Enjoy my loves!!
Peace be upon you

I love the asymmetry of this design, definitely gives it more of an edge. |

This has a more middle-eastern tribal woman feel. |

still keeping the traditional henna design but adding a modern twist with the more angular patterns. |

This is Bollywood meets English rose. |

Bold and beautiful. With the flame like finger accents and the feminine daisies scattered around the edge, this is a stunning paradox |
