The better versions of these are basically temptu-like
(alcohol-soluble) paint with an extremely thin clear coating to keep
them together. Safe; they never go into your skin at all, but sit on
top. They can be fun. The cheaper versions are water-soluble (all
the way down to the really cheap kind that used to come with Cracker
Jacks or in gumball machines). The best ones will last a week with
care, if you put them on a relatively non-flexing patch of skin.
Guideline: the faster it goes on, the faster it comes off. (Not a
perfect guide to quality, but a first-cut.)

They're still not henna, as you know. Usually, you can't use them as
guidelines for henna, either, 'cause they form a barrier.
