How to make glitter mehndi


Applying mehndi or henna is a very important part of different cultures. It is common in south-asia, middle-east and Africa. Applying mehndi is a very old tradition. The mehndi that we see today is its much evolved form.
We do various methods to make our henna tattoo more attractive. Sometimes we draw beautiful and complicated designs to give it a different look. Another method of making your henna tattoo attractive is applying glitter on it. No doubt that it’s an old method but still it looks beautiful and is very popular!
Applying glitter on mehndi is a nice way to making it more beautiful. It is sometimes applied on the drying paste of henna to give it a different look. It only last for a day and get washed along with the paste. We can also apply glitter on henna tattoo give it a beautiful look. It will look really nice on parties and weddings. Since glitter mehndi is not water proof so it will get washed as soon as we'll wash it.
We can either buy glitter for mehndi or we can simply make it at home. Making glitter mehndi at home is simple and easy. It only requires a few ingredients that are easily available. You only need a hair gel and some “mica glitter” (You also need a container and a spoon). Make sure that you are using mica glitter because other glitter such as dust or craft glitter is metallic and it’s not good for your skin.
Take some hair gel, it should be thick (not runny one). There is no exact quantity roughly I can say take out 3-4 spoons. Now take almost half spoon of mica glitter. Mix both of these ingredients well. You will get a thick paste. This is our required glitter. You can pour this glitter in a cone and apply it as you apply henna on your skin.
That was a simple method for making glitter mehndi at home. It can make your henna tattoo much more attractive than the ordinary one!
