I have to say that I used some dark green henna powder that we had
been storing in our fridge for about 6 months (air tight). I sifted
it really fine (it didn't need much sifting)....soaked it overnight
with only lemon juice, and then the next day added just a TOUCH of
eucalyptus oil. I applied my BOLD designs to my left hand, and
before they were completely dry I applied a bunch of lemon juice and
sugar.....then wrapped with saran wrap, and went to sleep.

Woke up the next morning, picked off the paste, and I ended up with
gorgeous dark mahogany coloured designs.

Here's the problem. I don't know if the henna was from Life Art
(Which I'm thinking it was) or from Castle Art.
Phooey!
