I tried a couple of things in a design I did on Sunday.I started off by filling in a circle in the palm of my hand and
surrounding it with filled-in upside down hearts, and one more heart
at the tip of a finger. After 8 minutes I wiped it all off.
Next, I put a concave diamond in the center of the circle and small
diamonds between the hearts but a little further outwards from the
center. I left that on for another 10-15 minutes (I lost track), and
wiped it off.
Finally, I outlined the circle, the hearts and diamonds, and did the
rest of the design. I applied lemon sugar, wrapped my hand with
toilet paper and went to bed.
After scraping it all off the following morning I added more paste to
fill in a couple of spaces I had left open on my finger. I wanted to
compare filling in color after the main design with the filled in
color done first. Can't see a difference between the two. I didn't
get the same effect that you did, where filling in over the design
lighted the previous henna.
I like the differences in color but everything looks a little smeared
and not as fine as I would have liked. Need more practice!
I'll post a picture as soon as I find a place to put it.
Next time I'll try it your way and see how that works. How old are
the various pastes that you use?

Marina
