: Has anyone tried using nailpolish as a fixative? Or is that just
too
: insane? I dont' use it much anymore so maybe I forgot how hard it
is
: to take off. And I suppose nail polish remover would kill the
henna?
: I am just thinking about possibilities, free association so feel
free
: to set me straig

Yuck! Nail polish remover on your skin is bad, bad, bad. Nail
polish remover contains acetone, which will darken your henna,
but carries the unfortunate side effect of potentially becoming
carcinogenic. (Acetone has been used to turn henna stains black,
but again, it's probably bad news to put it on your skin)
