depends on what kind of tool you're using and how long you let the
henna dry before putting something over it. I have been using
lattice-type designs in henna a lot lately, and don't have problems
with it. Maybe it's a matter of practice?
I don't use newskin; it gives me a headache and I don't trust it. I
find that many gentle, careful applications of lemonsugar, alternating
with heat or a blowdryer, work very well; when I henna myself I end
up flaking most of it off in a few hours but the more ls used, the
less blurring occurs (joints are hardest)
Also, are you wrapping? I gave up wrapping myself because I sweated
too much, esp. overnight. That might be your problem...
