:: My question is, how do you get your finger tips done so well??
: (like in the photo of CCJ(???) in the "Sirius Miracles" page.
I lay down lines right up against each other and then moosh them over
for an even coat to get fingertip black. I try to do my fingertips
early on in the hennaeing, so if I see any bare spots coming up, I can
dab in some more henna. If any falls off ... I'll flick off a bit and
re-henna the area.
I mostly do frillybits on the fingertips (just because they "shoot"
better against a dark background)....but I adore the way hennaed
nails look against black fingertips!
For artistic challenge, I love doing 360' spirals all the way up each
finger, like the top pic at the link below. I've only done those on
myself though .... too tedious to ask a client to sit through!
