Very well put together

I have played with Henna before, and was looking for a good kit with a better explanation, history, and some insight as to how to shop for Henna products. The kit comes with 2 cones of powder, 2 liquid mixtures and 1 bottle of oil(and some other stuff, including some cool designs that are discussed in detail in the book). After mixing the first batch, I realized it was too thick. No problem, just add fresh lemon juice until you have a smooth mixture that flows easily through the cone. The quality is great for beginners to play with and I found the cone to be well designed and easy to use. The real plus for this product is the book that comes with it. Aileen is obviously very talented and someone for anyone who enjoys this art to aspire to. Her book is exquisite in all aspects, from the art history to the application explanations, from her designs to the photography, and from the quality of printing to her expert selection of models(their skin was flawless). I found exactly the info I was looking for. Well worth the money I paid and an excellent addition to my growing library of Henna/Mehndi/Indigo Art. Thank you.

Buying for the second time

I liked this kit so much last summer that I'm purchased another for this summer. The amount of henna in the kit looks small, but as they say...a little goes a long way. I used it weekly on my ankle for about 6 months. I still have some left and plan to use that for at least another month. I always get compliments on my henna tattoos.

Wonderful

A big group of friends and I tried out this kit together and we had wonderful results. The henna went a very long way, much more so than I had expected. We had to mix a little water into the cones because they were a little too thick, but the rest of it worked great. You will want to reenforce the sides of the cones with tape before you start, because no matter what the seams (they are shaped zip lock bags) eventually give with the force of pushing the henna though the cone. We all had wonderful, dark orange results two and a half hours later. Leave the henna on longer than the author suggests, until it is mostly flaking off by itself (say 2 and a half to 3 hours).Good luck!

One of the best kits I've bought

I think that this book is great! I've tried many of the designs and the transfers that you receive are the easiest I've ever used.

A good kit and book for beginning mehndi artists

I found it to be an informative book and kit, written with the beginning mehndi artist in mind.The henna was of good quality, but the cones break very easily and I have no idea what the catalyst solution contains.A good beginning kit for those who have never worked with henna before.
