Henna Nails Are Hand-Blended And Natural, But How They’re Created Can Be Confusing
Henna Nails are hand-blended and natural, but how they’re created can be confusing. We thought it might be nice to clear up some of the confusion.
We get a surprising number of questions about our Henna Nails, so we’ve decided to take this opportunity to talk a bit more about them.
First and foremost, Henna is a dye that comes from the Henna plant. It is known for its use as a body art dye (primarily for temporary tattooing). It’s also used as a hair dye, and in some countries it’s even added to products like shampoo or conditioner. The henna plant produces leaves that contain a red-orange dye called lawsone that’s very stable in both light and heat when applied to skin or hair.
The Henna plant is made up of leaves that are dried and ground into a powder, which is then mixed with hot water (and sometimes other ingredients, such as lemon juice) to create a “Henna paste” which is applied directly to the skin or hair, where it stains the skin or hair red-orange. The darker your skin tone, the darker the stain will be; on paler skin tones
You’ve probably heard of henna in the context of body art, but recently this natural dye has been rising in popularity for nail art as well. Henna nails are a unique, hand-blended technique that can be used to create beautiful earthy designs.
Henna is a natural dye that’s derived from the leaves of the Lawsonia inermis tree, native to tropical and subtropical regions. The leaves are dried and crushed into a powder, which can then be mixed with water or oil to create a paste.
The paste is applied to the skin using different techniques depending on the artist; some artists use toothpicks to apply it by hand, while others use a fine paintbrush or even stamping plates. Once the design is complete, leave it on for at least 30 minutes (and up to three hours) before removing it. As it oxidizes, the design will deepen into a rich shade before reaching its peak color after 24 hours.
Henna nails are made with real henna dye, so you can expect your chosen shade to look darker and more intense than regular nail polish. The process takes longer than traditional nail art too: The artist will first apply two coats of your base color (typically white), then
Henna Nails are a unique henna blend that is hand-blended with essential oils, dried herbs and a few other natural ingredients. Henna Nails are a great way to help your nails grow stronger and healthier. They are also very effective in treating fungal infections in the nails.
How do you make Henna Nails?
The basic ingredients for making Henna Nails are:
Henna Oil
Dried Herbs
Essential Oils
Henna Oil is derived from the leaves of the plant Lawsonia inermis. The leaves are soaked in water for several hours, then blended with distilled water until they form a paste. This paste is then scented with essential oils and often blended with other ingredients such as lemon juice. Once the paste has been blended, it is allowed to sit overnight so that all of the oils can be extracted from the henna leaves. The next morning, the paste is strained through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining bits of henna leaf. The resulting liquid is then bottled as Henna Oil.
If you have been looking for a natural alternative to gel nails or acrylic nails, henna nails are a great option. The hand-blended ingredients make it easy to match colors and designs with your outfit.
While many people have heard of henna and mehndi tattoos, henna nail art is a new way to enjoy the benefits of this natural dye.

So what is henna?
Henna is a shrub also known as Lawsonia inermis. It can grow to be 4-15 feet tall. Henna has been used for thousands of years to dye hair, skin, fabrics, fingernails and leather. The leaves of the henna plant are dried and ground into a powder. When mixed with other ingredients and applied to the skin, such as on hands or feet, it will leave a stain that can last up to two weeks. There are many variations of the paste recipe, but most include lemon juice, sugar, and essential oils. With proper care the paste will leave a brown to reddish-brown stain on light skin that lasts about one week. On dark skin it can last 2-4 weeks. The darker your skin tone the more vibrant the stain will appear!
