My tea tree spiked paste is dead at 48!
i was expecting it to last longer, but i did a little design on my
pinky last night, and the color is relatively light. Mind, it is
pretty good for the ammount of time i left it on (which was the
duration of 'O Brother Where Art Thou').
I think this could be due to the heat-- it was mid 80's all day
yesterday and frighteningly humid. Thank goddess it cleared up today
and we've got some nice cloud cover.
I wonder if paste with more or less terps added has a different
lifespan? I.e. less terps = longer life, and more terps = shorter
life... Or maybe the other way around.

: On August 1st I mixed up three batches of paste using three
different
: powders:
: Castle Art
: Red Henna
: Jamilla
: I applied them, side by side, on August 2nd (24 hours after mixing)
: on my leg...(lower calf - above the ankle - not a great spot for
: staining on me) so far there is no difference in the color between
: the three pastes...not real dark, kind of light brownish orange
color.
: I applied the CA henna mix on the back of my hand the same
: evening...it is brown.
: I will be doing a show tomorrow and using the CA henna. I don't
: expect to be very busy at this show so I will probably have to time
: to henna my palm and see how that does.
: Oh, just another note....the CA henna mixed well and was kind
: of "shiny" looking, had some nice and stringiness to it...the
Jamilla
: seemed kind of "dry" not shiny at all, very dull and little
: stringiness...the "red" henna was slightly dull and had a little
more
: stringiness than the Jamilla but less than the CA.
: Just my observations for what there worth.
