: Hi Sophie,
:
: Yes, that is the same idea I am playing with trying to find an
agent
: that blocks out the henna. Unfortunately, I've still got that
stain
: on my palm that came and has decided to stay forever. But I've got
: it off the back of my hand and arm enough to start playing again.
: There is an arts and crafts product...can't think of the name of it
: right now...that operates like a paint in that it has a lot of
colors
: and is used to make designs and such. But it comes in a tube and
can
: be squeezed out into shapes onto acetate. Left to dry and then
: peeled off, it adheres to windows, walls, ceramics etc. I know
that
: it will also adhere to skin but will it do so well enough to block
: out the henna is another question. I will have to dig through my
: boxes to find it and the name of it. But the shapes...once
: made...are reusable over and over again. Put them on and peel them
: off. In a way it reminds me of that paint and peel nail polish.
: (Speaking of which...never put that stuff on your toe nails. Never
: comes off.) The paint and peel nail polish is similar but much
: thinner in consistency than the other product. They both should
work
: to block out or serve as a resist. The only question I have is
: whether or not there would be a reaction with this stuff and the
: oils, lemon or whatever else one chooses to put in their paste.
: Since I would want to block out spaces that I had already hennaed
and
: obtained a lighter stain, I don't know if this stuff will act as an
: exfoliant and make the stain lighter when peeled off. It is worth
a
: shot. Both products are suppose to be non-toxic. I am going to
look
: for this paint like stuff I am speaking of and provide the name
this
: afternoon. Making me crazy not to be able to think of it. If this
: stuff works I will be glad to send you some to play with as well.
: Try that paint and peel finger nail polish if you have any
available
: to see if it works. I found the nail polish at a flea market for
: about $.25 a bottle.
